Sensory play has never been so fun with these rainbow water beads. Soak the water beads - the size of a poppy seed - in water and watch them grow to 150 times their original size. They're slippery and fun to play with and help little people practice hand-eye coordination.
Sustainable packaging alert
The beads come in a recyclable soft plastic bag with recyclable cardboard outer.
Waste free disposal
These water beads are biodegradable, so simply put them in your garden when you're finished and cover with soil.
How to Use
To grow them, you simply put them into a large bowl and cover with 5 cups of water and watch them expand over the next 5 or so hours. PRO-TIP: Use warm/hot tap water for faster growth.
One they have grown, drain away excess water and voila, you have a bowl of slippery, colourful, bouncy, ball fun!
You are limited only by your imagination when it comes to our water beads – which is what makes this product so awesome for all ages.
