Floam: A Sculpting Goo for Kids!

Floam is not something I would normally review...no wait, yes it is. Honestly though the only reason I am here is because I read a review today on how the product sucked. However her review lacked many details on why the product sucked, so I decided to write my own review on why it sucks, how it sucks, and everything else sucky about it.

Floam though came out when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I remember seeing the commercials for it on TV, and how you could cover anything you wanted with Floam, and it would dry over night creating a neat hard floam shell.

What is floam:

It is sort of like slime, only way, way thicker. It can hold form. The floam is basically made up of tiny balls of styrofoam beads with some sort of goo that holds it together to make form.

This goo though does not stick to your hands, the carpet or any other place...however it will begin to stick once your hands grow hot, or if you leave the bucket of floam out in the sun. It takes a lot of play though to really get the floam to stick to your hands. Removal though is simple and only calls for you to dab the ball of floam on to your hands to pick up the pieces.

Floam is shown on commercials with kids covering Barbie cars with it, and the next day have a neat floam car. It was always my opinion that doing this ruins your toys, so I don't recommend it.

How does it work?

It's magic! Hehe. No...it's pretty easy, you shape it into anything you want. A ball, a person, a car...whatever your imagination and your sculpting skills can come up with. Next you leave it on the counter or wherever you want, and wait for it to dry over night. It takes about 15-20 hours to completely dry...however by morning it will be dry enough to the point where you are able to pick it up and toss it around. Be careful though, because it will not be fully cured.

Scent:

Yup, floam has a scent. It's actually a nice scent which smells somewhat like lightly flower scented rubber. It smells pretty, sort of like clay dough only more pleasant.

Issue:
