Care, storage, and longevity tips Store in a cool, dry place in labeled bins to prevent color transfer and curling. Use PVA craft glue or glue sticks for clean adhesion; avoid excessive moisture that can warp foam. Keep away from sharp objects that could crease or cut the surface; keep out of reach of very young children who might mouth small pieces. Who this was ideal for Perfect for parents planning at-home craft time, teachers building interactive learning stations, and daycare centers seeking safe, tactile materials that rise to the occasion for group activities and quiet-time crafts. While the original Animal Foam Shapes line is discontinued, the essence of its approach—accessible, colorful, kid-friendly foam crafts—continues in our current foam arts selection, ready to spark new projects with the same spirit of creativity.
