🌈 MarvelBeads 9.5oz Water Beads [Non-Toxic] Certified Rainbow Mix for Kids Sensory Play and Spa Refill BPA & Phthalate Free (Over 0.5 lb) Review

My 5 and 3 year old beads have great joy playing with these water beads. I was surprised at how much more they have become than what they started with. I think the longer you leave them in the water the easier they break. I soaked them in water for the time they said, then took them out and let them dry. Then my girls took them outside to play on the water table and unfortunately a lot of the water balloons kept breaking so I'm not sure if it was just because they were in the water too long…

I was a bit worried when I first received it. I've posted a few pics so you can see how big the container is and how much comes out of such a tiny amount - I bet you could probably fill a tub plus that tiny jar! I've also included photos of some of the projects I've done - Touch Screen. Bottles and a rainbow bottle for my baby's rainbow birthday party. (The jars are smaller than regular mason jars, the balls will be as big as standard balls or slightly larger). It's definitely easier to…

We ordered these for my daughter's 10th birthday. The theme was wellness day. We used them and let the girls get their feet wet there. After rinsing them out and accidentally sending each girl home with a footbath and beads. A few days later I go to my daughter's room to see how they dry. I put my hand in to examine them and they didn't shrink much but the awful smell that was in my hand was awful. I immediately called the parents and asked them to check, and the parents of all 12 other girls…

The main downside for me is that they don't grow as big as the pictures suggest and then they don't stay as big as they are originally either. As for the other beach balls, I leave them in the water when the kids aren't playing and they stay the size of marbles. They started shrinking after the first day! They are about half the size they were after sitting in the water for a few days. I always have to add more to keep the kids entertained. Great as a business theory as I need to buy more to…

I've seen them on Pinterest so many times I finally gave up. And for $7.99, how could I resist? It's getting colder outside and we're going crazy! I was immediately shocked at how small the package was and how small the dried balls were. When people say use very little, they really mean it! I used about a teaspoon or less in the image I've attached. It takes them about 10 hours to reach their full size. I will say that I did not expect them to grow to different sizes. Some have grown to the…

The first thing I thought when I opened the box was that it was quite small. However, after creating a batch, I realized that this is probably more than I really need. The instructions are to mix 1 teaspoon of dried balls with 5 cups of water, a ratio that seems to work pretty well, resulting in a decent amount to play with. I imagine the entire reservoir would be enough to fill a decent kid's pool (which is a bit tempting, but I don't know what I'll do with it after that). I couldn't…

This is a great sensory activity! My kids aged 7 and 3 loved it. I used the "under the bed" storage bin to store the beads. We only used 2 tablespoons of pearls and there are so many! As soon as it hits the water, they immediately begin to expand. They feel and look just like balls. Once they reach their full size, pour out the remaining water or they will crumble. I've taken them out of the water for 4 days now and they're still the same size and usable. The packaging says non-toxic, ideal for

I saw all these fun water balloon sensory activities on Pinterest so I thought I'd give it a try. We've played them in other places, but I've never played them at home. Why doesn't anyone ever talk about cleaning them?!?! I tried draining all the water hoping they would dry out and go back to their small size. nope I left them in the sun for a few days. They never dried up. The only pearl I put in it was dry. Then they crushed each other on deck. It turned into a slimy film all over my deck. I…
