Floam "Floamies

Against my better judgment I bought this product made by exploited Chinese workers laboring under near slave-like conditions exposed to toxic chemicals.These little polystyrene beads will end up in the ocean for hundreds of years, killing wildlife.But stupid me, I bought it anyway to fulfill the Christmas wish of my daughter - she cried tears of frustration and disappointment when she couldn't get the stuff to stick to anything but her hands.Word to the wise - make you kids some biodegradable play dough - it costs less, it's more fun, and it's better for the people and the wildlife of our planet:Mix in pan:1 cup flour1 Tablespoon vegetable oil1 cup water½ cup salt2 teaspoons cream of tartara few drops of food coloringHeat. Stir constantly until a ball forms. Cool. Knead. Store in closed container.

I ordered two different sets of floam for my daughters for Christmas. Both sets were completely pathetic and a huge waste of money.The product wouldn't stay together at all it just crumbled up and got these gross little balls stuck all over your hands. You couldn't do any of the stuff they claim it will do on the commercials.I will never purchase this product again.

You can make your own pets. I like the feel of floam. It's squishy and fun to play with for kids with sensory issues.
