PlayMais Inspiration Book - Beginner
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Do you know PlayMais?
Are you searching for a new way of playing creatively at home or at school or kindergarten? Do you want it to work for children from 3 years old and be easy to handle without glue-stained clothes, tables, and faces? Would you also like to combine various creative activities in one process? Then take a closer look at Playmais, which is a quite brilliant and very special way to make crafts, models, and figures. PlayMais are small, slightly oblong pieces or "dots", made from cornstarch and food colouring, which can easily be shaped with your fingers and which stick together using only water. With the pieces, you can form beautiful creative pieces like small mosaics, entire artistic pictures and statues, or fun trophies to hang on the wall.You simply take a PlayMais in your hand, cut it or mash it into the shape you want, dampen it with a wet sponge and stick it where you want it to go. PlayMais stick when the cornstarch in the pieces is mixed with water. PlayMais has been celebrated globally and won many awards. They are biodegradable and they are actually safe to eat.
PlayMais smell a bit like unsalted popcorn. Don’t make a meal out of them, but it’s not harmful for your child to take a bite. There are many different sets and endless ways to be creative with PlayMais. You can get both small PlayMais for making mosaics, which which develop your child's understanding of 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. A lovely advantage of PlayMais is that they are made from 100% biodegradable materials. PlayMais are created from corn flour, not plastic.
