When using Hama hot beads my children have always had to hand me their finished designs to complete by using a hot iron to seal the beads together. As you may have guessed by the name ‘Aqua beads’ gel together using water and therefore do not require the use of hot irons or any other potentially hazardous equipment. Aqua beads are suitable for use from four-years and upwards. It was really nice to be able to give my children the freedom to carry out and to complete their own work safely without the need for much assistance. J obviously wanted to begin by creating Mario, we selected the Mario template and inserted it behind the layout table, J then began putting the correct beads into each slot. I must admit that this required some patience as the balls seemed to have a mind of their own at times. After a small amount of coaxing and reassurance J eventually completed his design.

The Star Beads look like little stars and can be used to show texture with Aquabeads, and brand new Aquabeads creations are possible!

Make creations of your favorite Super Mario characters, such as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Bob-omb, Goomba, Koopa Troopa, Koopa Paratroopa, and Piranha Plant. Much to the kids delight we were recently sent the Mario ‘ Aquabeads‘ set to review. I had seen Aquabeads advertised on the television but had no previous experience with this product. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame.

We have used Hama hot beads to create a range of jewellery, decorations and accessories in the past which I presumed would be a similar product. Whilst reviewing the Mario Aqua Beads set I soon found that Aqua Beads and Hama Hot Beads are vastly different products in terms of shape, style, use and safety requirements. I was quite pleased that there is a good amount of space on the layout table for two children to work closely together at once, this seemed to prevent any arguments and allowed the kids to work simultaneously. Completing Our Work My son will happily admit that he is a computer geek. Whilst we try our hardest to limit his ‘tech time’ his mind still stays firmly in the game hours later.Star Beads look like little stars and can be used to show texture with Aquabeads, and brand new Aquabeads creations are possible! The Aquabeads Super Mario Creation Cube will bring your favourite characters to life in a whole new way!

In the box we found there to be: Mario is one of J’s favourite games to play whether it’s Mario Kart or Super Mario he is happy as Larry playing along with Mario and Luigi.

Each set includes a range of templates from which a range of designs can be created, alternatively children can use their imagination to create their own designs, anything is possible! I have a seven-year old boy and a three-year old little lady, both of which greatly enjoy getting crafty and creative with almost anything you hand to them. Whilst there are usually age requirements on most products, I have always encouraged my kids to give things a go and where an adult is required have stepped in to offer assistance.
