ELONGDI Water Beads Pack [ 2-Pack ] Colorful Jelly Water Orbies Gel Beads Growing Balls for Spa Refill, Kids Sensory Toys, Vases, Plant, Wedding and Home Decor

As pictured in the product photo, the beads come packaged as two plastic containers within a cardboard box. You get a TON of the beads. It’s a heavy box. The do start out tiny of course and grow to be much bigger - not huge, but the average size for water beads. If you’ve never used water beads before, take note: there are enough beads here to fill a small pool once they grow to their complete size, so use sparingly!Water beads are great for sensory play. Clean up can be a little annoying because they bounce all over, but all water beads do. This is a great water beads option compared to paying for the brand named ones!

We measured out 2 Tbs into snack size ziplock baggies and sold as a fundraiser. We placed 2 Tbs in an ice cream bucket and that amount more than half filled the bucket when adding water. Next time I would use hand sanitizer instead of water or for part of the water. Lots of hands test sampled feeling the beads in the bucket. Almost everyone bought some. Great sensory fun!

Kids are so fun with those "orbeez"! They flick it and see who is the winer~~ they throw it into a hoot like a small basketball~~ they pay them as dodgeball~ect.....~after the fun, they keep the left to their fish tank or their flowers~~

Perfect for the sensory room for my special ed students with sensory issues.

Filled an entire bathtub!

They only stayed big for a couple of hours

I ordered these beads so we could fill our little swimming pool with them. I had four containers and put them in the pool and added water. I had to keep adding water for beads to reach there full size. It took a while for the beads to grow but the kids enjoyed playing in them for several weeks. My kids are older, 8 and 10, so I didn't have to worry about them eating the beads or anything. Just something a little different. They did what I was hoping.

You get a lot, but these are about half the size of orbeez brand.Had some left overs and left them in an open container. Less than a week and they started growing mold.Use them for a day or two, then throw them out.
