ARTEZA Kids Water Fuse Beads Kit, 9600 Beads, 12 Colors, with Storage Case, 34 Assorted Designs, 5 Templates, 10 Key Rings, 1 Instruction Sheet, & Plastic Tools, Craft Supplies for Kids Activities

This was a fun little activity for my young ones. They aren't as good as the original beads (forgot what they are called) but they are good enough to keep the kids occupied. Either we sprayed too much water or didn't wait long enough, but the beads came apart and caused frustration with my youngest. I was able to fix it though. Overall, not a bad activity, just not the best quality. Very giftable.

Many moons ago I had purchased another brand of these little beads for my grandkids to play with when they came over. They absolutely loved them and would spend hours and hours creating.Fast forward to this holiday season my granddaughter who is in med school sent me a picture of the beads that I had purchased way back and asked me if I remembered them and I said of course I remember those she said yeah those bring back great memories. So I went on Amazon trying to find them found these and thought this was a compact kit it had the mold shapes beads ironing papers everything was in a great little organized case. So I thought I'd order it and get them to her I thought mostly as a joke. However, she was so excited about this because she said she gets so stressed out sometimes studying all the time and she was looking forward to unwinding with this kit. She immediately sent her study buddy back home a picture of her Christmas present! I really like the way everything is in one small organized carrier. When I had purchased my beads many years ago the storage was a bit of a bigger deal! I definitely would buy these again.

Liked that they are the correct size. Loads of them.Disliked that I mixed them with actual perler beads and they melt faster and not as good as the real things. Lesson learned. Go for the actual brand fuse beads if you plan on making cool big shapes. Spent much time organizing the colors out. Now I buy perler beads presorted into colors.

My daughter (5) and I have enjoyed crafting with these beads! My complaint is that the box does not keep the beads separated & it was busted when it arrived. I had to put all the beads in ziplock bags.

30.00 was way too much for this item.It was way way smaller than appeared in the ad.I think my grandchildren will enjoy the craft, but I was extremely disappointed in the actual size.

I bought the higher priced item because it came with a container to keep the colored beads separate. But the dividers are just pieces of plastic in a slot and just slide out. Once they do, the beads in 2 adjacent compartments get mixed.

The media could not be loaded.  First off, I really love this packaging. I dumped one box into a large bag with a zip top I had gotten from another order (larger than a gallon Ziploc), and sorted away. It made my little Aspie heart happy to get to sort. But my neurotypical husband and daughter both expressed how hard it was to use this set before I went through and sorted our most used colors. I know not everyone is going to want to sit there and sort, or have to dig to find the colors they need. Especially when the colors are inconsistent, which can lead to a mottled effect on your final creation.We bought these value beads to supplement another set we got. I'm so glad we did. We've had hours of entertainment, me sorting and my four year old creating. I will say, for our needs (four year olds are not known for being critical of their raw materials) they have been sufficient. If you are looking to create things to re-sell, I would keep looking, and here's why:1) The quality of color is inconsistent. The slight variations in colors can be frustrating. I made my husband a Duck Hunt duck for him to display on his wall opposite his NES gun controller, and the oranges were all meant to be the same shade, but there are subtle differences. My husband said he could barely tell, but if you're someone that can see a wider range and spectrum of colors, be prepared to be frustrated by this.2) The shear is not perfectly level. Many of these beads have inconsistent cuts where one side of the bead will be taller than the other side. This, of course, leads to inconsistency in the melting. It is hard to get a creation looking uniform when the is so much more plastic that the bead looks like it is lilting to one side or the other.3) The diameter is inconsistent as well. Not in every color, but in many colors. You can see in my picture how wide this variance is, and this also leads to inconsistent melting. You will have areas of the final product not as strong because you can't melt the thinner beads enough to form a solid bond with the adjacent bead.Ultimately, you get what you pay for and these value beads are just as fun for my 4 year old as any more expensive set would've been.

Man this is a lot of beads! And it feels like a giant box of F-U to my anxiety about things being mixed up. I have been sorting these beads for days. Literally days. Also the box is a little on the warped side, so it's kind of useless to me, since it allows the beads to mix. As mentioned above, the mixing of the beads is not my idea of a good time. Overall it's a good set, lots and lots of colors. They do melt at a different temp than my other beads, so they look a lil weird if I'm mixing. I don't think I'll buy them again though strictly for the fact that they are mixed up.

Only down fall with this is there all mixed not a issue for me but my son (disabled) found it annoying they were mixed but oh well. He’s still happy getting creative.

Bold vibrant colours, durable container, and my 4.5 year old daughter loves making different designs. She spends lots of time playing with these beads so that a plus in my book!

Great product! Unfortunately the delivery company broke mine, but I got a response when I messaged the seller within a couple of hours and they issued me a full refund that day! Fantastic service, would recommend.

My grandson loves making things this was ideal for him and encourages him to keep it tidy

My son has been making lots of things with this kit. Plenty of colours and the box it comes in is great.
