Floam has an incredibly fun texture!  It is basically a mold-able slime with foam beads that tickle tiny fingers during play.

Rosie and Jewel loved squishing, stretching, building, and creating with their floam.  I gave them play dough tools and diggers, and they had a blast!

Tips & Storage:

Troubleshooting:
How do you know you have the consistency right?  
  • The floam will be squishy and mold-able but not too sticky.  If your floam is too sticky add a little starch and knead.
  • If the floam is breaking apart too easily that means you added too much starch & need a little more glue.  No worries.  Just add a little and mix it in.
