Play Visions' Floof is described as lightweight compound that is like indoor snow that can be packed or shaped into a range of different creations. At the 2018 North American International Toy Fair, Play Visions expanded its line of Floof products with the Ice Cream Dreams set.
The molding toy features a color-changing material that transforms to white with a touch and easily sticks to itself for stacking and shaping. The set includes three ice cream topper molds, as well as a scoop, a cone and a wand that can be used to blow air.
While there have been many food-inspired molding toys to be launched in the past, this new one from Play Visions boasts an enhanced sensory experience that most clay toys cannot provide.
