Do you know PlayMais?

Do you need a new way of playing creatively at home or at school or kindergarten? Do you want it to be suitable for children from 3 years old and be easy to handle without paint-splattered clothes or gooey glue everywhere? Would you also like to combine various creative activities in one process? Then PlayMais is the answer, which is an easy, clean, and fun way to make crafts, models, and figures. PlayMais are small, slightly oblong pieces or "dots", made simply from corn and food colouring, which can easily be shaped with your fingers and which stick together using only water. With PlayMais, you can form mosaics and small artworks following templates, entire artistic pictures and statues, or fun trophies to hang on the wall.

It’s easy to be creative with PlayMais. You simply take a piece, shape, mash, squish, or cut the small corn piece into the desired shape, dampen it with a wet sponge and stick it where your child’s creativity says it should go. PlayMais stick when the cornstarch in the pieces is mixed with water. PlayMais has received many awards worldwide. They are fully biodegradable and it's actually perfectly safe for your child to taste them.

Your child shouldn’t gobble down a whole bowl of PlayMais, but tasting them won’t cause harm. They taste a bit like unsalted popcorn and stick to the tongue in a weird way. There are many different sets and endless ways to be creative with PlayMais. You can get both small PlayMais for making mosaics, which help your child understand the transition between 2D and 3D creativity, as well as bigger PlayMais for making beautiful artworks in larger formats, either from imagination or from a template. PlayMais are made from a material which is corn flour-based, and which is one hundred percent decomposable. There is no plastic in PlayMais.
