Very hard to use and have gotten smaller over the years

Not what the original was years ago these beads seem smaller and the process is difficult and the beads bleed their color at times . Not for kids under 7. My 12 year old who is very into stuff like this has issues and had to try several times before getting the hand of how much to spray on the beads. Beads are very small and are a choking hazard .

Pros
  • Great quiet time activity for kids and for fine motor skills.
Cons
  • The colors of the beads may not be as vivid or attractive as advertised

7 year old nephew's birthday present - he LOVED it!

I gifted this to my 7 year old nephew for his birthday last week. My sister text me to tell me that after a full night of making different designs he proclaimed that it was "the best day ever!" I have not played with it or opened it myself, but I am giving it 4 stars due to the fact that I was told it didn't come with enough of the right colors to make the designs provided in the kit. My nephew had to make his sloth brown with purple limbs because there weren't enough brown beads. Seems like…

Pros
  • Extensive Set: With over 900+ pieces, this bead kit provides hours of entertainment for kids, allowing them to make a wide range of designs and patterns
Cons
  • The kit may be too heavy or bulky for younger children to carry or use comfortably

Good but not great on my review.

Overall a neat gift for a 6 year old. The water was not able to hold the beads in place most of the time. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • My daughter loves this. She made so many things in the first day that she already needs new beads.
Cons
  • The kit's carrying case may break easily or lose its durability over time

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good, but with some caveats.

This is overall pretty good. The tray is pretty good, but note: It only comes with enough beads to make the INCLUDED patterns and will not be full like on the box without buying a refill. This means it's basically a one person set, so plan accordingly.It comes with the flip tray, which may be confusing at first. You make your patterns on the depressed side of the white tray, and after you've sprayed it, put the blue plastic cover on top of it before flipping. If you do it too fast, your design…

Pros
  • It’s a really good care recommend
Cons
  • The beads may be difficult to clean up after each use, leading to messes and frustration

DONT DO IT in my review

The devil himself must have designed this. It’s awful. Beads are tiny, they are impossible to make and they do not stick together at all and immediately fall apart. Save yourself a lot of frustration and don’t do it

Pros
  • This was awesome
Cons
  • The beads may have a tendency to slide or shift out of place, ruining the finished product

So much fun but get aquabeads refill with it

It is really fun. My 5 years old son likes it and me too 😁. It just 840 aquabeads, what it seems a lot but not at all. Once you put the beads in the kit, it is not as full as it is on the pictures. If you really want to make big stuffs or if you are really into it you need more beads for sure!

Pros
  • cute and fun
Cons
  • These aqua beeds are awesome but,they just never stick you can get it but it’s just not really good.

My kids love aquabeads

My kids had recieved some refill packs for aquabeads but we didn't have anything to use them with. I ordered two of these since we have several kids and they just love them. They come with a nice case and everything your kiddo or kiddos need to get started

Pros
  • My daughter loves this kit. She is 5 and can use it mostly unassisted.
Cons
  • Good concept. Horrible design. Scale much too small.

Frustrating: my feedback

These beads are very hard to stick together. Either too much water or not enough water. Once we flip it most of the time it all breaks.Sorry but it was waste of many.

Pros
  • Complete set includes everything your child needs to design and create unique bead creations. Beginners Carry Case includes over 900 solid, jewel and star beads in 24 vibrant colors, flip tray, sprayer, double-sided bead pen, creation base with design pegs and bead palette that doubles as a storage case with carry handle.
Cons
  • The kit may produce a lot of waste, including unused beads and packaging

Pros
  • My kids had a lot of fun with this!

Misleading amount of beads.

Disappointed because it didn't come with the beads that are pictured. Grandkids loved it 😍. I took a picture of how many you actually get.

Pros
  • Grandkids loved it 😍
Cons
  • Hard to put together and difficult to keep together. More trouble than it’s worth.

Fun! But takes a couple hours to dry.

My 4 year old got this for Christmas. The instructions basically say your creations will be ready in like 15 minutes. That is NOT the case. We’ve found that it takes at least two hours of drying before they’re dry/hard enough to play with. So once we figured that out, it was a success. We’ve made so many neat things and will need a refill soon!

Pros
  • 5/5
Cons
  • ALL CRYSTAL BEADS ARE MISSING!VERY DOSAPPOINTING!WE EXPECT A REFUND

8 colors not 16 - my new review

Child really liked set and had fun using. Did not remember colors promised or amount! Received 8 colors 30 of some and 35 of others

Pros
  • My kiddos love it
Cons
  • The carrying case may not be large enough to store all of the beads and tools securely

Great activity best in my review

My eight year old daughter loves these! Filled her down time for many days during the cold winter school break. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • The kit comes in a handy carry case, which makes it ideal for on-the-go beading or tidy storage once playtime is over
Cons
  • The kit may not be compatible with certain types of surfaces or materials, limiting its versatility

Our daughter is loving it!

Our 5 years old received this set as Christmas gift from her grandmother. It’s been only 4 days and she’s loving it. Direction says 10min of drying time and I don’t think it’s true. It’s better to wait for a few hours. Our daughter likes making own designs than using template sheets.Just note that this toy was originally from Japan and suggested age is 6 over there. Our daughter doesn’t mind sitting and working on details but It may not easy for some 4-5 years old.We only give 4 stars just…

Pros
  • Spray with water to fuse the beads together and finish your design! Fill the sprayer with water and spray the design thoroughly. Immediately after spraying, flip the tray to transfer the design to the reciever for drying. Once dry, proudly display your beadwork on the included creation base using the design pegs!
Cons
  • The beads may not be easy to find or purchase separately if children want to expand their collection

Don't do it in my review

Mess, the beads don't stick well at all. Falls apart easy. Definitely for older kids if you want to create a design. I wouldn't recommend

Pros
  • Great for beginners
Cons
  • The beads may be too small for younger children to handle safely

Mailed in product packaging!

This set looks great, but I bought it for a gift and it hasn’t been opened yet. Just beware, a shopping label was slapped right on the Aquabead box. I expected it to come in an Revain box, so my son totally saw it when it arrived on the front porch.

Pros
  • Great producr
Cons
  • The beads may break or crack easily, making them unusable for future projects

Perfect for kids: my feedback

Kids at the school I work for absolutely love these little things. It’s perfect even for the pre K kids. Everyone loves them

Pros
  • hours of entertainment. great practice of fine motor skills.
Cons
  • The kit may not include enough tools to help children create more complex designs

Kids loved it in my review

I got this for my son and friends daughters. They all love it. It’s a good way to keep the kids busy and entertained. I think it helps them learn to focus and concentrate. Highly recommend

Pros
  • Epoch Everlasting Play
Cons
  • The beads may not be as durable as advertised, leading to disappointment and frustration among children

Revainrating 1 out of 5

These had such great promise, but they were awful.

My son never successfully made anything. The cheap little bead tweezers were too hard for him to get the hang of and didn't really work that well anyway. He was excited to try, but wound up frustrated and disappointed.

Pros
  • My niece loves it
Cons
  • Doesn’t really stick together, kinda frustrating and pointless.

Doesn’t dry best in my review

My friend recommended this for fun together. It was okay for the price, but overall, we couldn’t make anything. The beads didn’t dry, and stuck to everything. I don’t recommend this to anyone.

Pros
  • Beading & Jewelry Making
Cons
  • The kit may not provide enough challenges for more advanced beaders
