Floam Fun

Saturday, Grandad came by for a few minutes & the boys didn't want him to leave. We tried to entice them by telling them that we were going to go to the store, but they didn't care. They really just wanted to go with Grandad. I think he felt bad, because he gave them each a buck to spend at the store.

Of course, at the store, we could not decide on what to buy so we ended up taking them over to the dollar tree where they had enough money to buy whatever they picked out. Again, they couldn't decide on anything here, until i spotted the FLOAM. Now, i had to do some encouraging (even by telling Jackson he could have pink, his favorite color), but i finally convinced them that they would have a blast with this stuff. (Not to mention, i was SHOCKED it was there because it is $6.99 at the craft store - the exact same package) This stuff is so cool. It is sticky & slimy, yet it doesn't stick to you or make your hands sticky. It molds, it squishes, it pulls apart, etc, but doesn't make a mess - even with the foam beads. Even in the car on the way home, Randy & I were squishing it all up.

Jackson quickly made his favorite letter- a P

Eli took a few minutes to warm up, but then got pretty involved himself!

Here, Jackson is concentrating on making more letters....
A, P, L, M, C, I (he is really loving all the letters these days!)
So everyone head out to the Dollar Tree & get some FLOAM- it is so much fun!! But you may not want to try the Clayton one- i wiped it out this afternoon. I bought 15 of them - one for each kid in Jackson's class for christmas!
