Aqua beads for the win
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great way to my boys entertained, I tried it and I also felt like a kid again. It’s easy to assemble and the setup is easy for kids to try. Just for safety if you have little ones keep on eye, you can make anything. We wrote our kids names and made animals.

Not something that “stuck”
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was nice to have something to try out for an Easter gift for my daughter. So I’m thankful for that. However, it was really really hard for the pieces to stay stuck together. It took a ton of water and a long dry time. I would say 24 hours. She only played with this once.. it might be good for a little bit older girl. Mine is six. Wasn’t a hit was pretty hard to put the pieces together and to stay.

Fun different creations
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Is great but I feel is better for kids 5 and older. My kids loved it but is hard to handle for them two. The little beads are too little and hard for them to handle, but besides that they love creating fun things.

Not a fan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to love this and for it to be a fun activity for the kids but it was more headache than it was worth. It’s a decent concept but it would have been so much better if the beads had been separated by design, not by color. We gave it a whirl once but then it just went into the garbage because we couldn’t keep it organized.

Fun, Creative, and a big confidence boost for kids
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had not tried Aquabeads before but they’re a big hit in this household now! We had such a great experience with this Aquabead Create and Decorate set! My daughter absolutely loved this activity from start to finish. The process was easy for us to follow and she was fully engaged the entire time. Her favorite part was creating the bunny—she was so proud of the finished result and couldn’t wait to show everyone what she had made. It was wonderful to see her confidence grow as she completed the project! I love that the Aquabeads encourage creativity, decision making, and all without a big mess. It’s a perfect screen-free activity that keeps kids of all focused while letting their imagination run wild. This set would make a great rainy-day activity or gift. Highly recommend for kids who love hands-on, creative play! 💕

Cute idea but might need to be for older kiddos
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kit is cute but I had to watch clips to figure out how to use the product. I'm not sure this is set for the right age group. They have cute designs but for my five year old he had a hard time laying them out and using the water pump. I'm not sure I feel great about these beads in my house, worried about my pet possibly getting sick from them. I originally thought when I selected this set it was just a bead set not aqua beads. I basically ended up doing most of the work for it. I think these sets should be for 8 year olds not 4. He had fun and it did hold his attention but not sure if these still last long in our house.

A great craft for kids!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were so fun and got used very quickly! The beads were fun colors and the designs were ones my kids loved. It’s a little nitpicky to put together with the beads so it’s definitely for a little older kids, but it also takes time and isn’t finished right away either which is good!

Cute
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to try this product with my kids as they love arts and crafts. It took a couple tries to get the hang of it so I am only giving it three stars because the instructions were not very clear. But once we got the hang of it, my nine-year-old absolutely loved it.

Theoretically Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Aquabeads Create & Decorate set has a beautifully efficient tray and storage system for your supplies. With plenty of patterns included to help inspire creativity and multiple attachments for keychains or charms, there are endless possibilities. I would not recommend this product be used around young children and babies due to the small pieces and beads. Once you make your design on the tray, use the included tiny spray bottle to mist it with water and the beads become sticky like they’re coated in glue, thus as it dries it melds into a secure piece of art. The issue we ran into to was that ours did not dry as quickly as indicated in the instructions and kept falling apart.

Must have patience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a fun activity but is frustrating at the same time. The idea is great, you just don't know how much water you should use or maybe you should wait more than 15min.

Very cool arts and crafts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really cool art set. My son is so happy with this and so excited to make such unique pieces of art. It keeps him entertained and busy for a good amount of time (great for me) and he gets an end product that he is so excited for. His first piece was the bunny, which he followed perfectly. He was excited to spray with water and then wait. The sheer joy on his face when it was all dry and ready is something that is priceless to me.

My kiddo is obsessed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This kit arrived just in time for my daughter’s 7th birthday and I think it was her favourite toy lol. This kit comes with plenty of beads and multiple different templates to make a variety of characters and things. If I’m being honest, I want to rate this 4 stars because the instructions were not straight forward at all. The paper instructions were in pictures only and no instructions to read. Their instructional videos on YouTube were no help either because the tray and shape of the kit that we received was different from the videos. It took a lot longer to figure that out before she could start creating things. Also, the spray bottle was tough for a 7 year old to use so parent involvement is required. Despite all of this, my daughter is obsessed with this toy so I’m going with 5 stars. She’s been playing with it every day since she got it and doesn’t seem to get bored. If your kiddo likes crafts, this is definitely a fun and unique activity that they will enjoy. I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion.

It's a cheap bead thing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is okay. Don't expect the beads to stay together permanently, or at least longer than a few weeks. I've had to heat ours up and let them melt-fuse together, since they fell apart so often.

Perfect screen free creative activity
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am always looking for screen free activities for my girls and this is the perfect activity, it’s fun creative ,can be taken on the go since the case brings everything that is needed. it’s a quiet ,fast setup and mess free (mostly) activity This is geared towards older kids (5 and up )because there’s little beads and the little ones love putting everything in their mouths , (the beads do have a bitter coating that discourages putting them in your mouth ,which is great because kids love to test the limits). Highly recommend my daughter is entertained for a long time when we pull this out.

Recommendation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kid and I enjoyed this set. It worth its value. Pieces are pretty much easy to be connected even by the kid. Colors looks bright and I would buy it as a gift to someone. Versatility is good

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend

Hated it
Bought this for my 5 year old for Christmas and decided to try it out before I did one with her. Directions are so unclear about where to put the template, the beads were so difficult to pluck out of the triangular pockets, the tiny water sprayer doesn’t work tilted ever so slightly, and when used as per the directions, it broke apart the moment I flipped it over. Endlessly frustrating.

The game is fun and patient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The activity is very practical. It makes children have patience because the result is not immediate. The template are very practical. The varied colors are well. The are not too many balls. It is usually necessary to replenish. Much better to use tweezers to help catch the balls.
