About Playfoam
Playfoam is the original satisfying sensory compound from Educational Insights, designed to provide endless creative and educational play for children. This innovative product stands out from traditional modelling compounds by being completely mess-free - it sticks to itself but never to clothes, furniture, carpets, or skin, making it a parent-approved alternative to sticky slime or putty. Non-toxic and gluten-free, Playfoam ensures children can safely engage in sensory play. One of Playfoam's most remarkable features is that it never dries out, allowing children to use it repeatedly without waste. This makes it an excellent value compared to single-use craft materials and ensures the fun never has to stop. The unique foam texture provides a satisfying sensory experience that appeals to toddlers learning through touch, older children developing fine motor skills, and even adults seeking fidget toys or stress relief. The Playfoam range has expanded to include multiple product lines catering to different needs. The Shape & Learn series combines sensory play with educational content, helping children learn ABCs, 123s, and even emotional awareness through hands-on tactile experiences. Playfoam Sand offers a softer, smoother texture for sculpting and moulding, while Playfoam Naturals provides an eco-friendly, plant-based option for environmentally conscious families. Particularly valuable for children with autism and sensory processing needs, Playfoam offers a safe, calming activity that develops fine motor skills while providing the sensory feedback many children crave. Available at UK retailers, Playfoam represents a modern approach to creative play that parents can feel good about.
