PlayMais

So, have you heard of PlayMais then? No, neither had I until quite recently when I was with my sister and her partner's boys and it was raining. My sister suggested that we play with the PlayMais. The what? I assume you have heard of Plasticine? Well, PlayMais is the new Plasticine, but what is new and why is it different? Well PlayMais is made from corn starch and water and is coloured with non toxic food colouring. It is safe for children to play with and is 100% biodegradable. This means that, when the PlayMais is past its best and it is time to throw it away you can just throw it on the compost heap. How's that for ...  Read the complete review

Playmais is a childrens (or adults!!!) activity for modelling. Unlike playdough and plastersine it doesn't get sticky and go all over your nice cream carpet or all over the kids clothes!!!!!

To make the models you soak the cloth in ...  Read the complete review

Like most people I had not heard of playmais in until a week ago when it was pouring with rain and we where visiting my mother in law and she brought out a box of playmais. To me it looked like she had brought out snack to shut the kids up as playmais looks like large different coloured wotsits. Grandma explain to my 3 and 4 yr old how playmias works and they where away, they didn't make any thing really special but they had great fun using them, my husband on the other hand got a little competitive with his sister seeing who could make the best model (when will they grow up) Playmais advertises it self and very eco friendly as it is crafted ...  Read the complete review
