Water Beads Balloons Sensory Decoration Review

The item itself was purchased as a gift so I have not seen it in action. However, there was something missing from the package for that, and it didn't come with the instructions it promised. Nothing was really labeled what it was. But in general everything was as described.

Bought this for my little sister because she loves the feel of Oorbez and suffers from anxiety and helped her dress up her look after putting them in the mini pool and watering them . She clung to them for weeks. A good distraction for her when she got home. I found her in the backyard, put her hands in it and looked very relaxed. They were a good size for her.

They worked great. The balloon was a little strange. After we filled it and the water balls swelled, the opacity of the balloon changed. It turned cream in color, not more transparent. None of the bullets broke unless we physically smashed them. We put about a teaspoon in a large bowl, filled it with water and watched in amazement. We have a lot more than we know what to do.

Good variety of packaging. Small ones don't usually break even if you try to put them between your fingers. The big ones are very comfortable to the touch but break very easily, except for small ones in a large package. It's hard to get into balls without a funnel. Balloons smell strongly of latex/plastic. No instructions, just 3 packs in a large pack. Large beads were cultured for more than 5 hours, small ones for about 1 hour in lukewarm water.

Now I literally buy nothing for gifts except this pack of water balloons. When you get it, the first thing you think is, ok, for $12 it's a small package, it doesn't matter what you expect. but then you don't even put a quarter of a bag of water balloons in the water and they just overflow! They just keep growing and growing! We have gone from a mug to a bowl to a small container of tupperware to a very large container of tupperware now in a plastic shoe box hopefully they will stop growing…

The smaller beads are great! We used 2T in a shoe box sized container and they swelled enough to fill the box! The kids loved the little balls too. However, the large pearls were a big disappointment. They're not round, they're bumpy. At least a third of what we soaked fell apart in the water, and about half the rest cracked inside so they don't stand up to handling (two fell apart in my hand when I picked them up). much less than a 3 year old or 6 year old playing with them. I was looking…

These pearls disappointed me. I thought I was getting fakes from China, I just wasn't prepared for such poor quality. You will receive a bag of small beads, a bag of large beads and a pack of very thin beads. As others have said, balloons are the color of condoms but not as durable. I wouldn't use them for stress relief unless you're ready for a mess when the balloons pop. Also, after a short period of squeezing (less than an hour total), the balls in the bale will begin to disintegrate. Large…

5 for small balls and -1 for large balls. Can you be happy and disappointed at the same time? Yes! I made a bowl out of a small one and then I wanted to look for a big ball. Epic failure! You can't lift big balls without them falling apart. After reading the reviews I realized that large balls would take around 36-48 hours to wet. After letting the kids wait 2 days for the adults to be fully hydrated, I decided to let the 6 year old play first. Though very gentle, it couldn't be held with one…
