No Nasties water beads are non-toxic, easy to use and encourage children to learn through sensory play, using hand-eye coordination. They are teeny tiny little beads, about the size of a poppy seed, before they are soaked in water, after which they grow approximately 150 times their original size. • Recommended Age: 4y+ (they should always be used with close adult supervision). • Include: 10g of water beads (approximately 500 beads) • To grow them, you simply put them into a large bowl, 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. Once they have grown, drain away excess water and voila, you have a bowl of colourful, bouncy, ball fun! • Colour sorting, water play, counting, colourful playground (in a bowl), pretend cooking, sensory play, fine motor skills • Size: 3 cm x 3 cm x 9 cm 💙Why we love this: Perfect for colour sorting, counting, water play, pretend cooking, sensory exploration, and developing fine motor skills!
