A lovely gift for your little jewellery makers and designers, this set was a big hit with my daughter! I will try and break this review up into sections:Look and FeelThe design looks really exciting, especially the big pink box to keep everything in and the heart-shaped bead container looks good when you're filling it up with the different colours. The number of beads you get is OK, 1000 sounds like a lot but, in reality, your box looks a little empty after you have spent the 10 minutes trying to open all the individual little bags and get the beads into the containers. Environmentally-friendly packaging, this definitely is not. So much wasted plastic throughout!Making DesignsThe design board to pretty straightforward although,unless you have dexterous little fingers, you probably go insane trying to pick the beads up and move them around! You can put template images under the board or just design your own. The idea with this set is that, once you have finished creating, you just spray it with water, leave the (water-soluble) beads to dry for 10 minutes and then peel off your completed creation using the special supplied tool. I would say that it works most of the time but there have definitely been a few mishaps along the way - notably when you create a design with a single bead stuck to another single bead, the adhesion of the water is just not strong enough to keep it together. Strength in numbers is definitely the order of the day in the Aquabead world!LongevityThis is a great immediate gift, no doubt. It looks exciting and you can be making stuff straight away. However, you will probably run out of beads very quickly and you could potentially end up spending a lot of money topping up your child's bead obsession! Be warned!OverallInteresting, easy-to-do and encouraging for your creative kids, it's definitely worth thinking about. The fact that all you have to do with your designs is spray them with water means that it's unlikely to cause you too much difficulty to let the kids get on with it themselves. Just don't blame me when your kitchen table, and floor, are full of small, plastic jewels! :)

3.5 stars for this, tested when we finally got a rainy afternoon this summer, with a 7 year old. It takes a little while to set this up, and open all the packets. Do be aware that what you get isn't represented by what is on the box, as with so many of these craft sets, 1000 beads sounds a lot but they are small, and easy to lose when dropped. They are easy to drop.. One plus is that they are bright and colourful, if dropped on to a floor without deep pile rugs or carpets they can be easily spotted.It takes longer than you think to pick up and position the beads, they are so tiny and fiddly. For this reason I wouldn't recommend it to children under five,they just don't have the fine motor skills needed to put the beads into place.Having said that, younger children may enjoy working out a design with older siblings or others.The premise is fairly simple, create a design on the board using a template placed underneath, or freestyle, spray liberally with water to set the beads, and wait. I recommend going away into the kitchen for a drink and biscuit, ten minutes is a long time for impatient little fingers. They can't remove the design withiout guidance as a special 'bead peeling tool' is needed for this. This isn't that easy.Not every design lifts off in one piece. those involving just two beads adhering to each other tend to break easily.Many parents may have reservations about the heavy use of pink, many young girls will love them.Items can be made from the beads, a key-ring, a tiara and rings, again appealing to a little girl's inner pink princess.Children will possibly like this more than parents or carers do, but that's true of many a craze.

My daughter loves Aquabeads and this is a great set, with over 1000 beads, in 16 colours, plus a great tray to keep them together. In this set, which is excellent value, you get one tray, a layout tray, to make the designs, a lid, a bead peeler, a spray, a silver bead frame, the accessories to make a tiara and a key chain, plus template sheets and the beads themselves. You receive solid and jewel beads. In the solid colours, you get 50 x pink, 30 x red, 30 x yellow, 30 x orange, 60 x light blue, 20 x light green, 40 x black and 170 x white. In the jewel beads, you have 140 x pink, 30 x red, 100 x yellow, 30 x orange, 40 x green, 90 x blue, 90 x purple and 50 x brown; plus you have 10 x special silver beads.Aquabeads are easy to make.You just create your design, spray and leave to dry and then peel off the design when it is done. You can get refill beads and I will certainly be keeping the tray from this set, to store everything in. You can make all sorts of lovely designs and this is perfect for my daughter on rainy afternoons and keeps her occupied and engaged.

My 7 year old daughter loved this and burst into action. Nearly everything you need is in here and contains over 1000 beads. Tray, bead peeler, spray bottle, template sheets, instructions are all included. I was asked to lend a hand putting some beads together but I was disappointed to find there was no pen so consequently, my big fingers found it difficult to grasp these tiny little beads. Would've been nice to see this addition.We also found that it took several hours to dry these properly so we dismembered a few earlier tries because they were still wet.However, my daughter still loves it and has nearly completed all the templates and needs more beads.A very creative idea and not too bad on the price.

Daughter (8) happy with this - particularly the key chains included. Mainly bought as she needed a refill of aquabeads, but this gave her a few new templates and ideas too.She was particularly pleased that it contained an automatic dispenser, which can hold several beads not just one.Not all the items pictured in the leaflet have instructions, however -she was disappointed there were no instructions for making a dolphin despite there being a picture of one. She can probably work it out from what is shown.I was disappointed by the plastic bead storage container as it was more flimsy than I expected. We haven't used it and have decanted the beads into our already owned,more robust containers.

Our youngest loves Aqua beads and this one is no exception. You get over 1000 beads and the possibilities are endless. You just spray with water to set your creations and you are ready to go!You can create everything from fish to unicorns and rainbows, rabbits and umbrellas. It is a great independent activity that builds confidence and creativity.Just to remind, there are small parts so not suitable for very young ones!!

My seven year old daughter is a huge fan of aqua beads: the instructions are simple for her to follow and it’s one of those rare activities that she can do herself without adults assisting and that suits her as she is very independent! This is a lovely set and very on trend in terms of the unicorn ? and rainbow ?. Minimal fuss and spray on water to bind makes this a great set as it creates no mess!

The only problem is they get super stuck to the board and you have to ease something under it to get it off. Then scrape the plastic off. But other than that it’s pretty simple for my 4 yr old to do. The bead box is just moulded plastic so I suggest get a plastic box with clip shut that has sections as pinking up little beads of floor after it’s been knocked over a few times is so much fun. ?

This is a fantastic gift set for any little girl that likes doing craft and likes jewellery. The pack contains everything that you need to create beautiful wearable items that my little niece adored. I would say that this activity set requires supervision as some of it was a little tricky but there was honestly hours of fun making stuff.

Aquabeads are great, if a little fiddly. You make your design, either using a card beneath the grid, or your own design and then spritz with water and leave to dry to make the design permanent. This is quite a big set, and will keep my nieces going for a while! Recommended.

My daughter loves activities like this to do on a rainy day. Aqua beads were a massive hit with her she loved following the design, creating her own ideas and showing us the results. It's a limited mess game and is great at keeping focus.

Bought for practise for my sons small motor movements- helps with handwriting issues- great set! could use a few more cards/patterns, but works well and have bought extra patterns and sets!

Bought for young child who had a lot of fun making the various designs, so did I too and still has more use to come. Can buy smaller themed packs to enjoy for longer.

If there aren't small pieces of Lego around on the floor at times in my home then there are aquabeads! My Daughter is aquabead mad after getting her first

Great selection of pictures and enough beads to complete. All items are includes to do the craft unlike previous sets we have bought. Good set up kit.
