PlayMais Mosaic Dream - Mermaid, 2300 pcs
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 looking for a new way of being creative at school, in kindergarten, or at home? Do you want it to be suitable for children from 3 years old and be easy to handle without paint, glue, and gooey stuff all over the place? Would you also like to mix several different creative activities in one process? Then choose Playmais, which is a very special and quite brilliant 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 all kinds of mosaics or artworks, entire artistic pictures and statues, or fun trophies to decorate the wall.It’s easy to be creative with PlayMais. You simply take a piece, cut it or mash it into the shape you want, dampen it with a wet sponge and stick it where your child’s creativity says it should go. PlayMais stick because the pieces are made from cornstarch, which gets sticky when wet. 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. You can get PlayMais activity books, templates, and all kinds of different play sets. 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 even larger creations following instructions or from free imagination. A lovely feature of PlayMais is that the colourful pieces are fully biodegradable. PlayMais are made from corn flour, and not plastic.
