With a kid who is always on the look out for a new project to do, we were thrilled to review Super Beads from Zirrly! It was great that we got to choose which pack we liked and Skyler chose the Mega Pack. This way she had her pick of many designs to create!
This is a really neat little arts and crafts kit! The beads fuse together using water, not heat like in other products. I understand my kiddo is thirteen but still mishaps can happen and burns are no fun at all. Best of all this can be done totally on their own depending on age. Skyler had no issues with it at all.
I could not believe all the designs that came in this pack! It was hard to choose because Zirrly has so many cool packs! They even have one for jewelry making!
Skyler got busy right away. She chose to make an apple first. The little beads fit onto a board while you are putting it together to match the pattern underneath. You can also connect boards to design your own which is using even more creativity!
She decided to make quite a few at once. She had many to choose from!
The little beads fit just fine on the board and there is a little tool to pull them off in case you drop the wrong one down. After your masterpiece is finished you just use the included little spray bottle. Easy as pie! They also don't fall off too easily. I mean you can't turn them upside down but if you move it you don't have to worry that it will fall apart! The beads are also safe so non toxic! There is also no melting plastic smell! This is a plus for my home because my kids are kind of sensitive to certain odors.
Now with the water, you don't want to go overboard and drench them! You want them wet but not dripping. After spraying them well shake off the excess water and lay them to dry. Skyler had made hers early in the morning and they sat all day.
Once dry, Skyler flipped the board over using the tool she pushed them off the pegs slowly. If something happens and your project does break NO worries just push them back down, add some more water and let them dry again. The projects are not as stiff as traditional fuse together bead crafts either.
She was pretty thrilled with her apple!
So thrilled that she in fact made another apple using different colors!
Of course Rhyli and Fox had to get in on the action and create some crafty cuteness!
Zirrly is a long time kid craft company! They have been around since 1956 and offer a wide variety of kids crafts. They also have crafts specific to special needs as well. Zirrly even offers Custom Crafts! That seems so neat to me! One of a kind crafts you can have from your idea! The 3D kits they offer look pretty awesome too in my opinion!
