Q: Purchased the Aquabeads Deluxe Trunk at Target today and there were no Templates in our set. Are templates not included in this set? Also, what are the white pegs or spacers for? How do you use ?
submitted by Catherine - 3 years ago

I bought this for my 6 year old and was rather disappointed. The instructions were not clear and we had a hard time getting the beads to stick together. The pen was not really helpful and we ended up just placing the beads by hand which was not easy with some of the more complicated designs. Any little bump and all of the beads get messed up. It was a frustrating activity for me as an adult, not sure it's really appropriate for most kids under 8/9 years old. With that being said, my kids did love the final results for the ones we were able to get to stick.

No written instructions, needed YouTube
The instructions are in pictures not in words. I'm a reader, I don't mind pictures but I need words to go with it. I ended up watching some YouTube videos to make sure I understood what to do. I bought this for my daughter who gets frustrated very easily. Written instructions are a must for every craft I buy her. This is the first one that we both struggled with which is odd because the concept is so simple. Also, the picture templates aren't as visible through the grate as they need to be so a lot of her creations are improvised. The grabber pen for the beads isn't well designed either, it actually messes with the design. I saw YouTube videos where they were using tweezers and now I understand why they did that. Overall, cool concept, bad execution.

Disappointing and anticlimatic
I always wanted to try this with my daughter, finally bought the deluxe one thinking it was going to be cool. The pen is nice to have until it doesn’t work- you try to extract a bead or move things around and it ruins everything. It’s impossible to reload, one by one. I wanted my 6 year old to do a craft on her own since the perler beads have to use an iron, I thought the water would be fun and safe. After using lots of water it took overnight for the beads to fuse. The blue tint where you put the photo, my daughter complained it’s hard to see. Cute concept and designs, but it’s just not as fun as I thought it would be for her. Also the deluxe kit even though it’s big.. only one person can do it at a time. Other kids can’t do it since there’s only one grid. Also they give you only enough beads for that design, no extra ones to free play. Definitely disappointed and back to perler beads.

It was a hit!
My 8 year brought this to a local brewery that was outside and all the kids swarmed the table to play with it. It was a hit! It was my go to birthday gift after that.

Go with offbrand beads instead
My 14 year old daughter wanted to revisit a craft from her childhood. She quickly learned that something about Aquabeads had changed over the past 7 years and they were no longer easy to use. Don't waste your time or money on Aquabeads. Go with the offbrand beads on Amazon. They work way better!

Disappointing
Would not buy again. The box itself is just okay. It’s very disappointing the amount of aquabeads for this box. Look at Amazon for non aqua bead brand items with way more beads, tools and are way better functionality.

Dont waste your money.
Definitely not for 4 year olds like stated. My daughter is 5 and this (even for myself) is very frustrating. The pictures don’t line up with the slots for the balls, the balls constantly get bumped causing you to restart, they always fall out of the pen, you spray them and wait 10 seconds like it says and flip just for them to all fall apart and beads go everywhere. Disaster. waste of money.

Don't bother
Terrible. Frustrating at best. I guess we will keep the organizer for organizing trinkets but as a creative toy it just doesn’t work most of the time as the creations break easily. I was hoping this would be something the kids could do one their own but it was too frustrating with poor directions and difficult to pick up the beads. The kids don’t want to touch it at this point. Better off getting Perler beads. Waste of money.

Kid approved- elementary aged
Perfect for elementary aged child. Perfect for independent creative play time. A child can us this kit to create and design different things without the help of an adult. Our daughter made gifts for people from things she made with this kit and was so proud. Kid approved!

Fun activity, requires patience
The set is beautifully packaged. I like that it comes with an assortment of bead shapes and colors. The instructions are clear, but the tools they provide are not very user friendly for small hands. I found myself making the art for my daughter. Also wish the template was more visible under the grid. The art pieces are fragile after, but cute to make.

Great! But problem with drying....
This item came with many different shapes and colors of beads along with diagram of pictures, a bead pen and water bottle. All items fit very nicely in the tote! The only downside to this item? The instructions indicate that once you have finished your project and spray with water, it should be ready in 10 minutes, when it actually took overnight. But once they finally did dry, they turned out awesome!

Lots of fun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids and I loved this Aquabeads Deluxe Trunk. We had hours of fun makings aquabead figures and animals. I love how mess free it is and all you need is water to make the beads stick. I recommend this to other moms so that their kids can have fun too.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this trunk for organizing and storing the beads. It makes it so easy to categorize the beads how you want them but also makes it easy to use them as well. I also love all the different things you can make out of the beads as well. I also love how easy it is to use as well. I highly recommend trying this out you will not be disappointed.
