Safe Alternatives for Baby and Child

My daughter’s loves arts and crafts, so I thought Happy Mais would be something she would enjoy.  Little did I know she would be obsessed with it!

When we got our first box, she played all morning long (and could have gone longer if I hadn’t put the box away.)

I’ve never seen her have such a long attention span with anything, not even playdough or finger painting!

She can become easily frustrated (like any other 3 year old)  if she can’t do something by herself. With Happy Mais, she is able to be totally creative without needing to ask for help.

Happy Mais Building Blocks are made from 100% GM-free cornstarch, (”Mais” means “corn” in Italian/French) and dyed with non toxic food colorings. No glue is needed, the starch contained in this happy corn works as a natural glue.  Just wet and stick together! Happy Mais is totally biodegradable and compostable, all of which makes this a truly safe and eco-friendly toy.

I helped her put the animals to the left together, but she was able to ‘glue them together’ along side of me.  It’s simple, just by adding a bit of water onto the sponge, she could make animals and stick some eyes on them too.

She plays with the animals we made, and she’s been creating many things with Happy Mais on a daily basis since we got the box a few weeks ago.

I must say it’s been very therapeutic and relaxing for me too, all of this creative craftiness.  I enjoy the quiet time and it’s nice for a change that there is no messy clean up needed afterwards. No stains on clothing or anywhere!!!  So, it’s definitely mommy approved!

Happy Mais would be a great kids birthday party entertainer or if you are getting together with your Mommy’s Group for some arts and crafts with the kids!  All your friends will be amazed at how fun this unique play stuff is.

Each box contains:
-over 700 pieces made of natural cornstarch, with various bright colors, sizes and pre-cut shapes to help children with their creations,
-a natural cellulose sponge,
-a Mater-Bi knife (made from cornstarch)
-a cardboard sheet with pop-out flowers & jewels shapes

Happy Mais Building Blocks for Girls and Boys are recommended for ages 3+.
