Ready for summertime fun? Well we were and we decided to celebrate the warm weather with some fun from Nickelodeon. My children grew up watching fun shows on the channel for kids and now my grandchildren, nieces and nephews were ready to join the fun ranks as well. The surprise for them was that they were going to be able to have a great time being creative with textures that were smooshy gooshy fun. The same sort of fun that we had when we were teenagers. With younger brothers and sisters I was able to have fun with them and still continue with my teenage attitude. Two of the greatest things back then that we had fun with was gak and floam.
We were able to have a good time reviewing the Gak and Floam from Nickelodeon. The fun products retail for around $6.99 each and are available in a few different colors. Not only are Gak and Floam fun but also have been reformulated to make playtime and cleanup a cinch for a new generation of families. Age recommendation is above 6 years old and let me tell you everyone from the little ones that we played with to the teens who helped them and yes even myself had a bit of fun. Floam is a textured molding compound and Gak is a stretchy and squishy goo that is fun to play with as it feels very slimy as well.
Floam is a fun product that is made up of what seems to be tiny balls that feel funky when played with but are a lot of fun. Simply mold, fold and roll floam into any creation that you can possibly think up. Here you go a great tool to use up your child's creativity and curiosity. Floam can be used to make sculptures or molded onto common household items to help create a new look. A great idea would be to use floam and decorate a clay flowerpot to give it a new updated spin. Available in Rockin' Red, Blazin' Blue, Electric Yellow, Glimmer Green, Posh Pink and Purple Power, Nickelodeon Floam can be used for hours of fun of squeezing, squashing, and molding. When creativity time is over clean up is easy and the floam can be squished back into its airtight container for reuse or if you want to keep your creation simply let it dry and harden overnight. Floam will not stain but it is recommended to use it on a clean, dry surface and away from carpet, fabric and hair.
Nickelodeon Gak is one of those childhood things that none of us wants to grow out of. Kids will love it and never want to put it down. Gak is a bit rubbery but so much more slimy and fun. It can be squished, stretched, squeezed, and twisted. It is so fun to simply handle and when you start hearing the wacky sounds it makes the fun gets any better. Gak comes in an iconic splat-shaped, airtight container and is available in Rebel Red, You Blue It, Yakkity Yellow, Goo Green, Tickled Pink and Purple Panic. Once playtime is over, put Gak back into its container to keep it fresh.
at first we were just not quite sure what to think but then we got to having a bit more fun
Pretty soon we were having so much fun that we were wondering what we could make and do with the floam with those little balls that ran between our fingers and the gak that was slippery and slimy and if you played with it just right made some funny sounds as well.
our Little diva got in the act as well stretching the gak to see how far it would go. I love this because it builds their creativity, and wonderment of curiosity to check out new items and have fun. They must take a bit off of their aunt as well.
i totally remember that stuff!! how fun for themL) thanks for sharing!
