Hot colors and cool glitter add even more fun to the Foam
Alive family! Each item has 50 grams (1.76 oz) and comes in an
hourglass-type plastic container. Play with the material in the container and
be mesmerized by the movement, or take it out and play with it for a sensory
experience. The clear container measures 5.5” high and 2.5” across the top. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Foam Alive Glitter Motion Magic (assorted color)
This Foam Alive will dazzle anyone with its sparkle. Shape it, mold it and watch if flow. Three assorted colors.
Develop motor skills in a fun and colorful way! Soft foam
has tiny foam balls that can be shaped into loose forms. Shapes tend to relax
after a bit like a slow-melting snowman. Unlike loose sand, Foam Alive won’t
get all over the house! It sticks together – but won’t stick to carpets,
clothes, or furniture – but I would still recommend using it on a hard surface
(table or cookie sheet). It is
non-toxic, kid-friendly and doesn’t dry out. Fun to use with all sorts of molds
and tools. You could bring this out for the little kids when you need some time
to homeschool older children. Use it for sensory exploration. Play around
mixing colors. Shape it into letters or numbers.
