			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over a year ago, my son, Cedar and me made a video review of Playmais for Tree Hugging Family, but after we made the video, Playmais, by that name, basically vanished off the face of the planet. I looked everywhere and found them very few places and they were going out of stock, so I didn&#8217;t write up a review here. Then this morning, I noticed HappyMais Building Blocks at <strong><a href="http://www.peekagreen.com/index.html">Peek A Green</a></strong>. HappyMais are just Playmais by a different name. And your kid will love them.</p>

<p><strong>What are HappyMais</strong>:  Natural arts and crafts material made with GM-free certified cornstarch and dyed with non-toxic food colorings. You can use them to build just about any old thing you can think of and there&#8217;s no glue needed. HappyMais stick together with water.</p>
<p><strong>Eco-perks:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>100% biodegradable</li>
<li> Non-toxic</li>
<li> For every box sold, the manufacturer makes a donation to the Earth Fund Association.</li>
<li> If you buy from Peek A Green you&#8217;ll get a tree planted for your purchase.</li>
</ul>
<p>See Cedar&#8217;s take on this craft material below &#8211; neither of us like talking on camera or being on camera much, which you&#8217;ll likely be able to tell.<span id="more-3926"></span></p>

<p>There&#8217;s a <a href="http://www.peekagreen.com/hamamocoforb.html"><strong>boy&#8217;s set</strong></a> and <strong><a href="http://www.peekagreen.com/ecoartcrcso.html">girl&#8217;s set</a> </strong>available, which frankly is kind of silly since this is an any gender sort of toy, but that&#8217;s how they come. Each set comes with over 700 pieces in 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) and a cardboard sheet with pop-out designs &#8211; flowers &amp; jewels shapes for the girls or pop-out monsters &amp; insects shapes for the boys. Either set would make a great gift or summer activity. Cedar loves his.</p>
<p><em>Has your child ever played with these? </em></p>
