I’ve been shopping for Christmas gifts for my son and came away impressed with so many items. But the one item that really blew me away is the Beados beads. So I think this will be one great gift this Christmas to kids who are above the age of three. Well, at least that’s what the package says, that it is only suitable for children above 3 years of age.
If you have not heard about or seen a Beados set, here’s what it is.
In a package of Beados, there are hundreds of beads in many different colours. A Beados pen has many slots for you to fill up all the beads and you should fill different coloured ones into different slots. Then, all you need to do is to make designs that you want with the beads from the pen on the given tray. When you’re done, use the special water sprayer that’s included to spray some water on the bead design you’ve created. Magically, the beads will stick together and you’ve got yourself a nice beaded artwork.
See how easy and fun it is? I spotted this wonderful craft set in Jusco. Surprisingly I didn’t see this in Toys R Us outlets. There are many sets available so prices vary. But I think they all don’t cost more than RM50 per set. Additional beads are also for sale on its own so I think it will be good to start with a starter pack and add on as you go.
Remember to supervise your young children playing with this as it is a choking hazard since the beads are small. Just play along with the kids’ and it will be fun for all of you! You will also be happy to know that this craft set is declared non-toxic, so you should have peace of mind to let the kids imagination run wild and cultivate creativity in them while they have lots of fun.
