Educational InsightsThe Playfoam Family Game, A Sculpting Guessing Game Toy With Original Playfoam, For 4 or More Players, Board Game for Kids Ages 5+

My family absolutely loved this game and we couldn’t stop playing it! Although it says for ages 6+, we were able to play with both my 5.5 year old and almost 4 year old. We did modify the game a little so it’s easier to play especially with our almost 4 year old. I really like how there is a ton of clue cards so (to make it easier) we let them just choose the card each time. I loved seeing them using their creative skills and also working on things like waiting for their turn and working in teams together. They also are doing sensory play as well as working on their fine motor skills by using the playfoam. We all had a blast and my kids are asking already if we can play it every day! I am a huge fan of playfoam and I’m so glad that there is a playfoam game now! This will definitely be a family game night game that we will play regularly for years to come! I think it will also be a great game for kids to play together when we host dinner parties with friends and their kids. Instead of playing a movie for the kids, I will definitely take this out for them to play next time! Highly recommend!

We really enjoy The Playfoam Game! Our 8 year old and 13 year old love the playfoam material itself--they play with it even when we are not playing the actual sculpting game! It's been fun during family game night to try to make the different items on the cards included in the game. We LOVE that the cards and the instructions are all bilingual Spanish-English!Both of our kids think some of the cards are easy and some are pretty hard to sculpt, so be ready to skip some cards depending on the age and willingness of your family members. The only improvement we can think of making to the game would be to have more than 2 colors of playfoam. Nonetheless, we love having two colors--we got lavender and mint green in our game.One of the unexpected joys of the playfoam is that it lends itself to other types of play, too, so we have found that shaping the playfoam into a ball allows us to play a fun game of hacky-sack where we try to hit the ball of playfoam from person to person without letting it drop. So, we play the game for a little while and then we usually pivot and play with the playfoam for quite some time after the game too. It's been really fun!

Ok this game is super fun! We played for over an hour today which is definitely a record for sustained attention around here. The recommended age is 6+, and my 6 year old absolutely loved sculpting the playfoam, acting out the clues, and guessing. I thought the clues were all age appropriate and recognizable for the kids, and we loved that the clues are in English and Spanish! We modified the rules a bit when it was our 4 year old’s turn (he could flip through the cards until he found one he liked, no time limit, and he could use sounds as part of clues) and he loved it too. He really, really liked being in charge of the sand timer! I thought there was a good amount of playfoam included. This is a fun game that I can see us playing again and again.

Got it and the kids enjoyed it but I wasnt happy with the packaging. It was already opened and although they say it doesnt dry up it did feel hard.

Calling all Playfoam lovers, like my daughter - a Playfoam game has been created. My daughter loves Playfoam and when she got some as a gift a few years ago, we have not stopped playing with them. Recently, she got the Playfoam pals and loved playing with the little figures that come with the Playfoam. We were super excited to find that they created a game. My older son joined in on the fun so we could make a team of 4. He had a lot of fun playing it, so it's not just for young kids.This game is easy to play for all ages and you just need two tames (of at least 2 people) to play. Educational Insights made it super easy for any kid to play with a picture and the word so the kid knows what to create. They even include the Spanish word underneath.My kids really had to think outside of the box when they got the word "corn" or "volcano" but that is where the other colors we had around the house came in handy. You can use any color Playfoam you have. The box came with purple and green, but we had 4 other colors and used some of the other colors to help build our "word." The word cards are double sided, so there are so many to choose from and the game can last for multiple rounds.If your kid is a Playfoam lover, this will be a perfect game for them to find other ways to have fun with Playfoam! For anyone who has never used Playfoam, think of it as a mess free Playdoh option. The best part about Playfoam is that it never dries up, unlike Playdoh and easy to clean up.Thanks Educational Insights for keeping the love of Playfoam alive in our family! (Sorry my photos are all sideways.. I didn't know how to correct it.. hopefully you can see the different things we made and my kids playing with it.)

My daughter loves Playfoam, so she was very excited to play this game as a family. Since we are all at home more these days, we thought it was the perfect way to incorporate creativity into our family game night. As a parent, I appreciate that Playfoam is mess-free so clean up is a breeze. It also never dries out so kids can enjoy endless play.The premise of the game is that players sculpt various shapes as team members work against the clock to guess what is being created. Teamwork, creativity, and imagination are all used. The game is fun for adults and kids, and after game night has ended, kids can still enjoy creating with Playfoam.

Kids were so so about this game.

I have a really difficult time finding fun activities that my 9 year old son will enjoy. He’s really into video games, but also loves art, and I ’m always on the lookout for engaging things for us to do together. So I thought this sounded fun since he loves Pictionary. It has been a huge hit and sometimes he is always asking to play together. Even his four year old sister can play it with us without a hitch. She often is the best guesser of the family even. But the cards for drawing have images and words, so it’s great for kids who can’t read yet. Overall, it’s been a great purchase and our favorite game to play together as a family.

Excelente producto, igual a la imagen

Acquistato per Natale per mio nipote, abbiamo giocato dopo il pranzo divertente per tutta la famiglia!

Franchement top on a adoré ce jeu avec ma fille de 5 ans.Les cartes ne sont pas trop difficiles, par contre le sablier se bloque deux fois sur trois le sable ne coule plus, qualité à revoir.

Bislang kannte ich Playfoam nicht, fand das Spiel aber sehr interessant, weil wir Cranium und Tabu sehr gerne spielen. Skeptisch war ich ein wenig wegen der merkwürdigen Playfoam-Knete – die sich dann aber als ziemlich genial und gar nicht merkwürdig herausstellte.Kurzbeschreibung:Genau wie bei Cranium oder Tabu geht es in diesem Spiel darum, in zwei Teams Begriffe zu erraten. Einer aus dem Team zieht eine Karte und versucht den entsprechenden Gegenstand (es kann auch ein Tier oder eine Landschaft sein) zu kneten. Das Team versucht innerhalb der Sanduhr-Zeit (ca eine Minute) den Begriff zu erraten. Der Knetende darf nichts sagen und auch keine Geräusche machen, er darf aber pantomimisch das Geknetete nutzen oder auch andere Dinge kneten, die die Ratenden auf die richtige Fährte bringen. Das macht das Spiel lustiger und für kleine Kinder teilweise auch einfacher.Wir (mein Mann und ich) haben das Spiel zusammen mit unserer beinahe 5jährigen Tochter gespielt. Da wir zu dritt keine Teams bilden konnten, haben wir einfach reihum geknetet und geraten, was auch super geht und viel Spaß macht. Das Kneten mit der Playfoam-Knete ist etwas anders, als mit normaler Knete. Details kann man nicht herausarbeiten. Das Material ist aber sehr faszinierend, weil es wirklich nicht an den Händen klebt und man daher saubere Hände behält, obwohl es sich dennoch beim Kneten klebrig anfühlt. Zudem ist es wirklich toll, dass diese Knete niemals austrocknet und daher auch tagelang draußen stehen bleiben kann.Meine Tochter kann natürlich in ihrem Alter noch nicht so perfekt die Dinge formen, aber dadurch, dass sie pantomimisch mit den gekneteten Gegeständen arbeiten konnte, war es dann doch oft möglich ihre Gegenstände zu erraten. Für sie war das jedesmal ein Erfolgserlebnis und auch das Erraten unserer Gegenstände hat ihr viel Spaß gemacht. Wir Erwachsene hatten ebenfalls jede Menge Spaß.Einziger Kritikpunkt: Unsere Sanduhr bleibt leider ganz oft stehen, weil sich der Sand irgendwie selbst blockiert. Wir haben aber noch andere Sanduhren und nutzen dann einfach diese.Fazit: Ein tolles Familienspiel, was ich absolut empfehlen kann. Man hat was zu lachen, ist kreativ und verbringt gemeinsam schöne Zeit. Volle 5 Sterne.

The media could not be loaded.  El juego es muy divertido. Conocíamos de antes el juego en el que se saca una tarjeta y hay dibujar algo para que el compañero lo adivine, o aquel en el que hay que actuar para que los amigos adivinen la palabra, título de la película, etc. Y, en nuestra familia, nos encantan estos juegos. Nunca había visto esta versión en la que hay que adivinar aquello que se está modelando. Me parece muy original y un reto técnico a la hora de que aquel material que se use para modelar, no termine ensuciando, pegándose a superficies, secándose con el paso del tiempo, etc. Y respecto a esto último, por lo general pienso que lo han logrado bastante bien. Aunque, no es 100% perfecto. Dependiendo de la forma, es posible/probable que esta se descomponga bastante rápidamente (recomiendo mirar el vídeo). Si se aprieta con fuerza, aguanta algo más pero ahí, adultos tienen una ventaja respecto a niños. Por otra parte, viene con dos colores, pero tras pocas partidas, es bastante seguro que ambos terminen mezclados entre sí, particularmente si se juega con niños pequeños. Las tarjetas están muy bien porque viene el dibujo de la palabra que hay que adivinar y la palabra escrita en castellano y en inglés. En cada cara de la tarjeta viene una palabra diferente. El reloj de arena nos parece que va demasiado rápido, nuevamente, muy en especial si se juega con niños. Es un juego que estimula el intelecto y la capacidad artística. De los 4 jugadores, 2 han votado darle 4 estrellas al juego (un adulto y un niño) y los otros dos darle 5 estrellas (también, un adulto y un niño). Le termino dando 5 estrellas por los pelos.
