Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down...

Picture the scene, you have a bored seven year old, he’s been cooped up indoors since Monday – yes I realise it’s only Tuesday but have you ever been stuck indoor with a seven year old?? It seems longer – trust me…

It’s raining again outside, so what did I do?

I’ve discovered PlayMais! Totally safe and eco friendly – cos it’s made from corn and dyed with food dyes – so even if the little fella eats it he’ll be OK! Except maybe a funny coloured tongue for a while.

PlayMais ‘glue’ to itself by the addition of a small amount of water, so no actual glue involved, plus it sticks immediately too so no hanging around – less likely to get bored…

It comes in loads of colours, and each box has an ideas booklet, we made lions and giraffes, a bear, a wolf and a huge crocodile too – it’s great!! Seven year old loved it and stayed happily at the kitchen table all morning, and I got rather involved too.

I’ve seen it on Amazon and it’s also sold in John Lewis and The Entertainer. Prices start at £4.99 for a medium pack, but to be honest once you get going you really want a large box so you get loads of each colour to play with!

Now, once your little treasure has show you his models and you’ve had them on the shelf for a week proudly displayed, then what do you do?

Well, PlayMais is 100% biodegradable so either pop them out with the recycling, or sit them on the compost heap, they’ll dissolve when it rains, promoting heaps more discussion in the household!

We ended up with birds having a little peck at ours so we looked up Maize/Corn on Google to learn more – it ended up being quite a lesson!
