I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
My son is starting school next week and boy oh boy did this summer fly by! To celebrate the end of the summer my husband and I wanted to surprise the kids with a fun afternoon with just a few friends before school started. We were thinking something simple but yet fun and creative for them. So when Beados? introduced us to their products we knew this was something my kids and their friends would love! So we had a simple yet perfect ‘crafternoon’ using Beados?!
If you haven’t heard of them before I’ll tell you a little bit about them:
Beados? allows kids to create their own designs with beads that stick together using just the spray of water. The line features several activity kits that include the tools that kids need to create their Beados? creations, like beads, design templates, spray bottles, display stands and more. Plus, this activity requires no heat or glue, which is always a plus!
Here are some of the fun templates and place mats we could download and print off!
The thing that attracted me to this craft was the fact that it doesn’t need glue or heat to keep the creations together…all it needs is water!
We set everything up! I was sent place mats, templates, invitations and all the beads and kits you could ever imagine. My kids love crafts so I was just hoping the rest of the kids would also love them.
As kids got started I wanted to make sure things went as smoothly as possible. I had one-two kids make their creation at a time, just so beads weren’t everywhere and I could help them one-on-one a little more. I’m so glad I did this because everything ran smoothly inside as the rest of the kids where outside playing.
I placed the templates on the back of the see through purple trays and then the kids could place a small bead on top of the template using the little tool that’s included.
Julia choose the little penguin that looked like an ice-cream cone…she loves ice cream so there was no changing her mind…she knew what she wanted the minute she set her eyes on it. Here she is spraying water on her creation. It took about ten sprays.
This amazing machine made the drying time go faster and we all know how impatient these little hands can be when it comes to waiting. That’s all they wanted to do was hold their finished creation.
The Beados? Fan is battery operated and works by a simple push of a button.
Julia’s finished creation!
Are you looking for a fun ‘crafternoon’ for your kids and their friends? Beados? is a perfect solution. They have so many kits to choose, anywhere from mermaids to puppies, and are designed for boys and girls alike. In fact my son had the best time of them all!
Overall the kids had a blast and if you ask me the perfect party is a party where they can create something and take it home. They all loved that they could take them home and keep them forever!
