LINKCITY CREATIVE 20000 Small & 400 Jumbo Water Beads Sensory Toys for Kids, Non Toxic Water Gel Beads Rainbow Mix Pack - Value Arts and Crafts Supplies Kits

Super easy to use, just toss them into a bowl or jar and add water. Wait a few hours and bam! Water beads galore! The small ones are perfect, and look lovely in clear glass vases. The bigger ones did have shape flaws, such as being misshaped or too soft for their size, but they're still fun to play with and they made even more interesting color shapes when added to a clear vase. I use these for flower arrangments, mix them in the soil of my container plants to keep water stored, make shift ice packs, and many more fun ideas around the house. The packaging was simple and nice, with clearly divided sections between the jumbo sized and the smaller sized. You don't have to use them all at once either, since the baggies are resealable.

I got the packs, the small beads packs were not the same size. I weighed them. One is 1.84 oz WITH the packaging, one was 1.87 oz. The beads of the "large" beads were 2 different sizes. I hoped they would swell the same but they did not, see pix. Looks like I got the jumbo and medium size. It took 18 hours for the larger beads to completely open up and as soon as I started to roll them around in my hand they cracked then fell apart. These "jumbo" packs weighed 1.96 &1.93 oz. Total weight was 7.6 oz WITH the packaging, not 8 oz (assuming without pkg). I could have dealt with the amount if they were sturdy like they say. No way I can put these in a kiddy pool for the grand kids.

I absolutely love these beads there the perfect sensory for the kids to handle They retain the water and when they start to dry out they shrink back to size I do believe that you can add water to them and rehydrate them so I wouldn't say that there necessarily reusable because they will get dirty but I typically just put them in a big Bowl of water and debris will rise to the top.... The only downfall to this product is that the jumbo beads when they are hydrated they are not very sturdy if that makes sense they crushed very easily sometimes just picking them up would break them.

The durability that they are not easily broken is a lie. I would barely go to pick the jumbo size up and they are falling apart! I’ve thrown about half of them away and my son has played with them three times. I am so disappointed at the fact that I did not want something that would be so easily damaged like this. I would not have ordered them otherwise since this is the reason I bought them in the first place was due to durability. I will say that the smaller ones are much better with durability, but the jumbo are awful!

I wish I had taken a picture before throwing these out. First off let me say the kids loved playing with these. They doo the job as far as sensory water beads go....BUT. I was not impressed with the quality, especially of the jumbo beads. Many were lopsided, or completely misshapen. They also broke fairly easily. I will up date with pictures when I use the rest of them. Over all you can get better quality somewhere else. I also do not believe there were 400 jumbo beads, maybe 200.
