Playmais is a natural crafting toy:
By simply moistening it with water, the natural stickiness of the cornstarch it contains is activated. This allows children to easily combine Playmais pieces to create patterns, animal figures, pirate ships, 3D objects, or entire imaginary worlds – all designed by themselves.
Parents don’t need to explain anything when it comes to Playmais.
Kids immediately understand how it works: just dive into the colorful, fantastic world of imagination and start crafting – completely free, driven by their own creativity. Or inspired by our themed templates and instructions.
With Playmais, you can get creative anytime, anywhere.
At home, on vacation, in a café, or outside in nature – wherever you like.
One more tip: We recommend using a waterproof surface while crafting. After all, water is involved – even if just a little.
We recommend using water carefully. The sponge should only be damped well and should be wrung out before it is used on Playmais.
Another tip: Use a waterproof surface while crafting. It is recommended to do one or two test stickings with the Playmais pieces before starting your masterpiece.
We use corn grits to produce Playmais. This raw material is sourced primarily from Germany and the EU.
Yes, Playmais is completely safe for children.
Even if children accidentally swallow or eat Playmais, there is no risk. The corn we use could, in theory, also be used for food production.
Simply put:
Playmais is safe for children – completely natural, made entirely from corn, with no harmful substances and no artificial additives.
Acting responsibly towards people and nature has always been our mission.
The result: sustainable products made from organic materials, developed and manufactured with care for the environment.
Playmais is completely safe for children, made from a renewable raw material and produced in a climate-friendly way.
We use 100% green electricity from renewable sources, generated in our company’s own bio-gas and photovoltaic plants. That makes Playmais naturally sustainable – or as we like to say: simply natural. Made from corn.
This gives Playmais a clear advantage over artificial materials like plastic, which is still widely used in toys.
We are proud that our efforts have been officially recognized:
Playmais has received the German Brand Award in the categories "Excellent Brand in Kids & Toys" and "Sustainable Brand of the Year."
We have always produced entirely in Germany, and will continue to do so in the future. Why?
By bearing the "Made in Germany" quality label, we ensure that our products are free from inhumane working conditions, harmful manufacturing practices, and child labor, which are unfortunately common in some developing countries.
We also benefit from being independent of global supply chains, working directly with local producers and supporting German agriculture.
This allows us to offer our customers not only a sense of security but also contribute to the well-being of future generations.
These are the good reasons why we produce environmentally friendly, ethical responsible, and regional– in Germany.
There is a wide range of products for different age groups and types of play.
In general, Playmais is suitable for children aged 3 to 11. It is an innovative crafting toy that promotes and challenges children’s natural creativity, imagination, concentration, and learning development. For a shared crafting experience with your children or grandchildren, we’ve developed Playmais Ecopixx: Ecopixx is artistic crafting for relaxation and is suitable for people aged 12 to 99.
Our Playmais is not 4K, not responsive, and doesn’t require updates.
It doesn’t contain any harmful plastics or electronics like Wi-Fi, SIM cards, or batteries, and there’s no screen time involved.
For 25 years, we at Playmais have used organic corn material for our certified creative crafting products, developed and tested in collaboration with educators and psychologists. Our Playmais is completely natural, sourced directly from farms in Germany. Its production is completely sustainable and eco-friendly, endlessly renewable, biodegradable, and free from harmful substances. We have always produced exclusively in Germany, and we will continue to do so.
This allows us to eliminate inhumane working conditions and manufacturing practices in developing countries, as well as child labor. With our "Made in Germany" quality label, our products are safe for both children and the environment, ensuring ethical standards.
We offer products for different age groups, types of play, and needs:
- Classic is the "free" version for unleashing creativity. With Classic, children can create animals, objects, or entire Playmais worlds based on specific templates, either in 2D or 3D.
- With our Mosaic crafting sets, children create two-dimensional works of art. The Mosaic pieces are applied onto pre-designed or blank template cards. The Playmais pieces in Mosaic are smaller than in the Classic sets, making them ideal for more detailed, intricate designs.
- New is Playmais Ecopixx. With Ecopixx, we bring moments of relaxation into daily life: We call it artistic crafting for relaxation. This product is suitable for people aged 9 to 99, making it a great opportunity for a
For 25 years, we have been using corn, a natural material, for our crafting products that we develop in collaboration with educators and psychologists. From their perspectives, Playmais combines essential qualities:
- Playmais encourages natural creativity, imagination, concentration, and learning development. It gives children space for discovery and provides quick successes, which boosts their self-confidence. It also creates an opportunity for them to develop a strong connection with themselves and the environment, as well as find inner calm – something increasingly difficult to achieve in today’s highly organised family life.
- Some of our crafting sets have earned prestigious awards, including the "spiel gut" seal for particularly educationally valuable toys, the "Independent Toy Award," and the German Brand Award in the categories "Excellent Brand in Kids & Toys" and "Sustainable Brand of the Year."
In a word: nothing.
The ingredients in Playmais could theoretically be used in food production, making it completely safe for children. Even if your child accidentally swallows Playmais, there is absolutely no danger.
