Worth it & stays intact for so long!
The media could not be loaded. These are awesome esp as a sensory play toy. This company was easy to order from. Shipping was fast, packaging was great, & the beads are of good quality. Ive had them in a bucket for a month now. They have shrunk a couple of times but I just add a little bit of water to bring em back. I threw in small cups, bubble scissors, & some of my daughters lil toys in it the bucket to set down when her friends come over. They play with them for a long time. I even made a stress ball with them. I poured some dry beads into a clean soda bottle, & added just enough water to get them to grow. I then blew up a balloon halfway, twisted the balloon opening, & stretched the opening over the bottle while untwisting it in the process. I filtered the watered orbs unto the balloon, released all the air & then tied it off. I put the stress ball into the bucket in case it breaks. Either way our daughter thought it was cool to squish. When Im done with the batch I throw them Into our planter box outside to moisturize the soil.

Great for Sensory Bottles
I had purchased this product several times to use in making sensory bottles for my special needs students. We used empty Bai drink bottles and the kids love watching the beads grow. They do shrink back down to their regular size if dried. I include a warning to parents about kids eating the beads. Although they are labeled as non-toxic, they could be a choking hard if swallowed. Kids love playing with them, although we tape the bottles shut for our student population. It is possible for them to mold, but I have put a few drops of Lavender essential oil in with them. BEWARE, I used a very small amount to fill the bottle shown- less than half of a teaspoon. As in a BAKING measuring teaspoon, not an eating spoon!! A little goes a long way.

Don't use too much :o
LOL! These are fun but beware.... kids love to just touch them and then throw them LOL! They are loads of fun and you can practice sorting too! Fill a kiddie pool with them.... so many things to do, but if you just want a little to check them out get a large bowl and use 2 TBSP and fill with water. You may want to check on them to make sure you have enough water . ENJOY!!!

Very fun and will engage your kids for 1-2 hours.
I tried it with my daughter for the first time and she just could not keep her hands out of the bowl while they were soaking. Once they were done, she thoroughly enjoyed playing with them. Only 2 things to watch out for:1. They really expand. We soaked just about 4 oz of the beads and after soaking they expanded to fit into couple of gallons of bucket. So, ensure you place it in a large enough container and add plenty enough water.2. One mistake we did is to let the kids play with them however they wanted in the backyard and after they were done playing they stomped and squished them on the the floor and cleaning up the floor at that point was tough.But, definitely worth it and loads of fun.
