This is Bubber.  It is a soft compound that never dries out, doesn't stain, and is non toxic.  You can mold it, mush it, squeeze it, etc...  I saw it at the CHA Supershow and immediately thought of my son (age 7 with autism).  We try to get him as much sensory play as we can throughout the day and I thought he'd really enjoy squishing this and playing with it.  I was wrong.

While my son is indifferent to the stuff, my almost 5 year old daughter absolutely loves it and plays with it almost every day.  It really doesn't dry out and she really loves the feel of it.  My only real complaint is that it breaks into really tiny bits that are hard to pick up off the carpet.  They haven't been ground into the carpet or dried onto it (like play-doh often does), but we lose a little bit of Bubber to the vacuum every time she plays with it.

There are crafty uses for the stuff as well.  Check out how they used Bubber to make a mold for plaster.

This would be a really cheap way to make a mold of your baby's hand or foot.  Instead of just a print, you could cast their whole fist.  Once I have time to launch my line of jewelry kits (did you know I have that in the works?), I may have to make a mold of a hand and wrist so I can have a display for the bracelets and rings.  That would be cool.

Even though we didn't use the Bubber like I though we would, I'm glad we have it.  It's a fun thing to have around.

I was given a bucket of Bubber to try out but was not obligated in any way to write a review of the product.
