1. How long will the Ocean Foam last?

The foam may last a few days, depending on how often it's interacted with. It’s best to create it when you’re ready for immediate play.

2. Can this project be made outdoors?

Yes! Making the Ocean Foam Sensory Bin outdoors can allow for easier cleanup and adds to the fun.

3. What if I don’t have foam?

If foam is unavailable, you can experiment with other safe substances, such as whipped cream or even a baking soda and vinegar mix, but be prepared for the chemical reaction!
