In 1994 Nickelodeon began advertising the Floam Sports merchandise. The set was made up of Balls, Pins, and various objects all used for different sports activities all equally made from Floam. A specific set called “Floam in Flight” was used to make objects fly by inserting a tube into the Floam creation then putting it on an air-tube launcher to make it fly. Although production was discontinued on this product for a number of years it was re-released to the public in 2012 by NSI International.
In 1995 a Floam factory was created as a fun attraction that allows you to make unique shapes and patterns all from Floam. The factory itself includes a Floam bed to lay on, different pockets, shape sizes to use morph Floam into, and a hand roller for patterns.

These kits came with various colors of Floam as well as miniature models that could shape your Floam into animals, dinosaurs, flowers, bugs, etc. They came in a wide variety of colors and patterns. In 2012 the NSI produced the Floam Dome. The Dome came in four different colors: red, blue, yellow, and light purple.
