After much research, this is our first experience with fusible beads. We did not find any deformed beads at all. The bucket looked quite small and I was dismayed to think they would only do about 4 each. Well they did today and we still have a little over half the beads left! A very active 7 year old and an artistic 5 year old spent a FULL day (starting right after breakfast and only eating and bathing) with them and a 3 year old also played with beads a lot. I poured the beads into a tall, large, rimmed ceramic plate and never spilled. We also used the tape transfer trick (google it) so they could keep using the boards to do more and then we ironed them all at once at night. The balls melted very well and evenly with no strong odor which was encouraging. If you have very observant and alert children (or adults with sensory obsessive-compulsive disorder), use your own smooth parchment paper as the fold lines will not show up well on the ironing paper provided when you fuse the beads. The 4 solid (not crisp) shapes of the pegboard were the perfect size for our kids. They loved that they glow too! This is a great activity on a cold/calm day :)
