FAQ

What age this sensory kit recommended for?

Use this kit with kids ages three and up, however no matter the age, children should always be supervised when playing with any contents from the kit.

Can I keep the kit for future use?

Absolutely! You can get years and years of fun out of your pond sensory bin.

Can floam get wet?

It can! One of my favorite things about floam is that it can get wet and that it floats. When you’re finally done playing, let it dry out completely before storing it back up.
