What Are Water Beads? Water beads are small polymer beads that expand when soaked in water, turning into squishy, jelly-like balls. They come in all sorts of colors and sizes, perfect for sparking curiosity and creativity.
Why They're Awesome Imagine the joy of touching these squishy beads and watching them change size and texture as they absorb water. It's like a mini science experiment that's also incredibly soothing and relaxing.
BIODEGRADABLE and REUSABLE! Water Beads can be used over and over and over again, rinse and store in a container, you can even dehydrate and rehydrate them enjoying weeks of fun activities. Once you are ready to dispose of them, simply dig them into the garden and they will help keep the soil hydrated!
