Foam shapes do the jobs paper cannot — they hold their form when glued, stack into 3D models, and survive being handled by small hands. The decision is self-adhesive or plain: adhesive-backed removes the glue stage entirely, which is worth it for large groups and short lessons, while plain foam costs less and suits projects where placement is being planned. Pair with craft adhesives if you are going plain.
