BBG is over at the Toy Fair and they just saw these weird cornstarch blocks that you can shape and shave to your heart’s delight. Writes Joelson John:

While EnviroBLOX have been on the market for about a year, manufacturer Cadaco is now releasing new sets with tools that cut, smoosh, and emboss the corn starch-based building puffs into even more shapes. EnviroBLOX are made of the same stuff as biodegradable packing peanuts. To connect them, just dip them in water (or give them a lick). Think of them as Cheetos* with which you can build giant dinosaurs.
