MarvelBeads 50,000 Water Beads [Non-Toxic] Fully Certified, Rainbow Mix for Kids Sensory Play and Spa Refill BPA & Phthalate Free (Over Half Pound)

I saw all kinds of different sensory activities on Pinterest, so I decided to give them a try. They were played with elsewhere, but I hadn't ever done them at home before. Is it because no one ever talks about cleaning them Trying to drain all the water out in hopes that they would dry out and shrink back to their previous size did not result in successful drying. Over the course of several days, they sat in the sun. There was no drying out of them. There was one bead I set out that did not dry. There was an accident on the deck, then they were smashed. I did not clean my deck for days because it turned slimy. It took me a little while to get the film off the deck. It took me some time to realize I was not able to reuse or dispose of these in an ecofriendly manner. My hand reached into a trash bag and put the whole slimy mixture in it. Cleaning up is not fun and games until it is time to go home.

Here are lots of pics showing the size of the container and how many can be made by such a tiny amount - If you had a tiny jar like this, you could fill up a bathtub plus! Below you will find pictures of some projects I have A sensory bottle and a sensory table The rainbow bottle was a party favor for my baby's rainbow birthday. In terms of size (the jars are smaller than traditional mason jars, and the beads are about as big as marbles, or a bit larger). It is easier to separate colors when they are wet for a few minutes so they can be picked up and saw for themselves.

My daughter's 10th birthday party is the occasion for ordering these. During the spa day, guests enjoyed spa treatments. Those were used and the girls let their feet soak in them. It was because I rinsed them and sent each girl home with her foot tub and beads that I made that mistake. My daughter's clothes slowly begin to dry in her room, so I check on them several days after. They hadn't shrunk much, but the awful smell from them in my hand was awful. I put my hand in them to examine them. asked all 12 of the other girls' parents to check and they all reported that the same thing had happened to them. This is the last time I will ever purchase anything. The fact that I even had to telephone my parents made me very embarrassed. I would have given it a negative rating if I could. The kids loved them for a short time.

I was surprised at how small the package was when I first opened it. Having made a batch, I realized the amount I'd be making is probably more than I'll actually be needing/wanting. In order to make the solution, you need to mix one teaspoon of dried balls with five cups of water, which seems to work pretty well and results in a decent-looking solution You can play around with a reasonable sized batch. If I were to fill the entire container, it would probably be enough to fill a kiddie pool of reasonable size (which is tempting, but I don't know what I'd do with them afterwards. I'm not quite sure about Though the container says there are 10 colors, I don't seem to count all of them. A clear part of my vision contains yellow, orange, pink, a different shade of pink, blue, teal, purple and green parts. I thought when I saw 9 I counted it as having two different pinks, though I really had to have them side by side It's impossible to tell they're different (they're the same color, but one is cloudy, the other 1) I have no idea about the 10th color What was the difference between pinks like? Did I miss that, or is it even more subtle? Nevertheless, that's a pretty minor issue in my opinion, because the colors are generally pleasing to the eye. I discovered after playing with them for awhile that they do get a bit weird I have less of a problem with the balls themselves and more with all the dead skin cells and stuff that happens to pile up in them as I Make a new patch every once in a while and pitch those older patches There will be a LOT of these things made with the container I mentioned earlier.

It is seven dollars as well. There's something about 99 that I cannot resist? It's getting colder outside, and things are just getting worse! From the first glance, I was shocked at how small the packaging was, and how small the dried beads were. Only a little of something is what people mean when they say that! As you can see in the attached photo, I used less than a teaspoon. My disappointment was that I did not expect the seeds to grow to different sizes. It took about 10 hours for them to reach full size. It is important to know that some grew to be the size of a quarter, while others only grew to be the size of a dime. If you want the same size coins, look elsewhere. The problem I have with these is that, while my kids loved them, I didn't and I felt like I had to do something. I HATE THEM! They are so messy! If they become slimy mush from breaking apart (which they 100% will), they will become dirty and smelly. There is no way you will be able to get them up I hate it. In the end, I threw them out after 3 days because I didn't want to have to clean up all day, but I still have the I wish that as they get older my kids will learn to be kinder to them.

We had a lot of fun with our kids, 7 and 3. A plastic storage container from under the bed was used to hold the beads. Two tablespoons of the beads made a lot of beads, even though we only used two! The moment the droplet reaches the water, it immediately expands. The feel and appearance of these balls is identical to those of In order to maintain its integrity, the water must be drained once the shrimp reach the full size. Now that I have had them out of water for 4 days, there are still the same size, shape, and function. The package claims it is non toxic, making it a great product for both children The combination of kid and adult appeal has a surprising degree of satisfaction. As a stress reliever, my husband says he enjoys taking my daughters out during his break from.

For my 5 & 6 year old daughters, these water beads were a lot of fun You can play with her if she's 3 years old. As they grew, I was surprised how much bigger they became compared to what they started with. believe that the longer you soak them in the water, the more likely they are to break. I soak them in the water for the amount of time they say, then I remove them Later my daughters took them outside to play with their water sensory table and they broke a lot of the water beads. I'm not sure if it was because they were in the water for too long or if it was something else? It didn't matter what my girls did with them, they had a blast!.
