The Tikanga of Food in Play
We did consider the Tikanga of using food in play. After much debate we agreed to use marshmallows as our "pellets" out of respect for our environment.
If a child uses this kit and does not collect or eat the marshmallows, pets and wildlife are safe to eat them - unlike foam pellets which are traditionally polystyrene and apart from causing damage to animals and the water cycle, won't break down.
