Floam - Where to get this?

[HayGan]

My DS (5) really wants this stuff for Christmas. He never asks for anything so I definately have to make sure that Santa can have this under the tree this year. Does anyone know where I can get this stuff other than ebay? I've tried calling directly to order it and they have a 10 -12 week delay in delivery

I will do ebay as a last resort but I want to exhaust all options first!

Thanks

Just an FYI....you may want to do a search on this, I was interested in buying this for my DD, however after reading many, many reviews decided against it.

Good luck

Also, check out e-Bay for it.

Opps, Sorry just read that you didn't want to go through e-Bay.....

"I tend to read half of everything...."

Did a little research and found it on:

Good Luck...

I saw it at AC Moore. I did notice it. It was, I believe, $7.95/tub. I had my daughter with me so I didn't want to pay too much attention to it since both of my girls want it for Christmas. Even better if you get the 40% coupon that usually comes in the mail.

I've got a few tubs of this in my daycare center and the kids don't care for it at all. I don't know if it is because the tubs were sitting around for a while at the store or what , but the stuff doesn't hold its' shape really. Plus some was dropped on the rug & did not easily come up, plus it left a water-mark on the rug--unusual for child care center rugs-which seem indestructible.

They'll be igone the next time we have "clean out the cupboards day"!

Just my .02!

My DS also would like this for Christmas. I am interested in what you found out in your searches that made you change your mind.

My mopm went to TRU to buy some for my kiddos for their birthdays. TRU did not have any and said they would not be carrying it again. Why?? According the the person mom talked to, they had to throw away all of their stock because it hardened before they were able to sell it. I know my kids would like Floam, but they are not going to be getting it--sorry!!

I just bought a recipe for make your own floam off of ebay. It will be a fun cold weather craft and if they don't like it then I'm out much less $$

Magicx2: I tried to find the tread that talked about this but I could not find it. If I do, I will PM you. Sorry.....

Inside sources say floam will be available at Toys R Us Target and AC Moore by Halloween!

Procedure:

mix borax and 1/2c warm water, seperate bowl mix 1/2c glue, 1/2 c water, food coloring, mix all together in a ziplock bag, knead 7 minutes, add styrofoam beads

Noticed your in Steeler Country Pa, I don't know if your anywhere near the Grove City Factory Outlets but the last time I was there the Kaybee (sp) outlet had floam, but some of the ones they had on the shelf even looked dried out.

I just saw this a couple days ago at CVS if that helps at all.

Yes. My mom lives very near there She said the same. Funny, because they usually only carry older outdated items.

Does anyone know where I can get the styrofoam beads needed to make the floam? Thank you.
