I’ve never heard of Aquabeads before. I was a bit puzzled at first until I read the instructions. These beads fuse together with just water, no heat required. I picked up the grid that you position the Aquabeads on to create your design. It was 90 plus degrees the other day, so the kids stayed busy in the AC. My youngest had a little too much fun, and next thing you know there were Aquabeads stuck to his skin. It was very entertaining! We did lose quite a few Aquabeads in the process since they are small. My children have been gradually finding them over the past couple days.

Overall, it was nice to spend time with my children and keep them entertained. However, the Aquabeads stuck to our skin, and once they hit the floor they rolled into the abyss.

These are great for kids from 5-11, my kids (boys and girl) sat together for hours and had great fun helping each other. We used to use the hama beads but found having to iron them tricky as the kids always wanted to help. With these you use water and the kids can do it themselves which they like.
I would have given this review 5 stars but found sometimes the beads didnt dry properly and were sticky, also think a proper lids for sections of beads would help as they roll everywhere. Definitely will buy again.

This is definetly mega. It comes with lots of beads and a small variety. Some jeweled which are really pretty and the star shaped along with regular beads. We used these to refill my daughters beginner case and then stored the remaining unopened bags in the trunk along with extra art pieces. So easy to create she has made alot. The trunk also has spots to display 8 pieces on it. This trunk is handy for storing unopened bags waiting to be used and created pieces waiting to be displayed.

This pack came with tons of beads that can be used with other packs. My daughter really likes the case itself to stick her creations to. If your in the market for aqua beads this would be a great set to buy along side other sets to give your kids a whole variety of colors to choose from. The different texture ones were super fun also. I even had fun with them. Will defiantly be something we come back to in the future. Fun for kids who are looking for something fun and easy to do.
