Floam?

Has anyone played with Floam?
http://www.floam.com
I'm probably going to order it but am wondering whether it's going to
be one of those "wow, it looked cool on tv, but..." experiences. I'm
not going to make a big deal of my doubts to the kids, but I don't
want to get MY hopes up, lol.
Thanks,
aj

Yes! It is very cool in a tactile way and makes nice squeaky crackly noises
when squeezed, from the tiny foam bits. It also can be sculpted
3-dimensionally in a way that resembles modeling clay rather than Play Doh,
and then the pieces will slowly dry solid retaining their bright colors. The
pieces stick together in the modeling process much better than play doh or
clay - which is why it can cover stuff. I notice a picture of it being used
on shoes on the website - I would suspect that is going a bit far - I don't
recall the dried product having really enough flexibility to stay stuck and
not chip off after a while in that kind of usage. However YMMV.
Gosh it's been ages since we had any and I am enthusing myself about getting
some more!
Only problem - the seal on the containers has to be *very* good or the stuff
will dry out in the box or bag. Extra bagging should help with that.

That's what I was thinking--in the distant past when my older kids had some.
I ended up re-using the containers for something else because I found them
with chunks of hard floam inside.
