“Orbeez are superabsorbent polymers?that means they are made of several smaller molecules joined together. With the addition of water they can grow to more than 100 times their volume. That’s right, place a tiny Orbeez bead in water and watch it swell! The water is absorbed into the spaces between the molecules. These polymers were invented for agricultural use back in the 1960s to irrigate crops during times of drought. Today you will find superabsorbent polymers in diapers to prevent leaks, in food packages to absorb liquid and in floral vases to hydrate cut flowers “
I was able to check out Orbeez at the Time to Play Holiday Showcase in NYC in September. I was immediately intrigued and thought these were perfect gifts for girls.
I was so excited when I was able to check out the Light Up Heart from Orbeez. I was excited to put it in my room, even though I’m a grown up! Since my room isn’t finished yet, we set it up in my sister’s room.
“Make your very own working night light. Grow your Orbeez in three different colors, fill your Light-up Heart and turn it on. With color-changing LED lights your Light-Up Heart changes color from one magical transformation to the next. Requires 3 AAA batteries, not included.
- 1 Light-up Heart
- 1,500 Orbeez in six colors”
It is very easy to set up. You just drop the little Orbeez in water and literally watch them grow. It’s amazing to watch them grow, like magic!
Here’s a video below that shows you how it works, quite interesting!
Besides the Light Up Heart, Orbees has a number of things that any young girl on your list would love! The Jewelry Maker is pretty cool and I checked that out at the event. Some of the girls were wearing some of the jewelry which was pretty cool. I really liked the Soothing Spa too. The Orbeez feel great against your skin!
I especially loved the Mood Lamp and will be buying one for myself. It reminds me of a mood lamp I had when I was younger, but so much cooler than that one! I can totally picture this on my night stand!
