Water Beads are made from a super absorbent polymer which expands to over 100 times its original size when added to water! These water beads will become marble-sized. Children can learn important hand-eye coordination skills from playing with objects of different textures, especially these squishy beads that move and appear to take on colour from objects around them.
There are so many fun ways to play with these colourful delights!
