Why it works
Hama is the original brand of the beads that are placed on a pegboard and ironed. This box has a project with an end result: a mobile of rockets and planets to hang in the bedroom. Placing beads one by one is calming and trains a steady hand better than any worksheet.
Our verdict
A good small gift for patient little ones aged 5 to 9. If you do not want an iron involved, Aquabeads stick together with water.
They will like it if
- they concentrate on fiddly tasks
- they like space
- they enjoy seeing what they have made hanging up
Bear in mind
- ironing is a job for an adult
- one nudge of the pegboard and you have to start again
- the listing gives no age; midi beads are usually manageable from 5
What's in the box
- About 2,500 beads
- 2 pegboards
- Mobile ring and string
- Design sheet
- Can be used alone
