My little boy came home from school a little while ago having made a pattern with hama beads. He had thoroughly enjoyed it, so Santa, (being the kind person that he is), bought this for Xmas.
At first my son was a little disappointed when he saw the pale colours of the beads. Compared to the very bright colours that he'd used at school they're very wishy-washy. However, put them in the dark and it's a very different story! They really do glow very well and he was so proud when he finished the space rocket, waited until dark and saw it glowing away brightly in his room! The sample patterns for aliens, rocket, ufo and planet are very good and relatively easy to do, and I think it's a great idea to include a mobile hanger. Now, of course, he's wanting more glow beads to make even bigger and better rockets...I think he'll have a whole cosmos in his room before long!
All in all a super little set that will really appeal to little boys in particular - and quite good value too in my opinion. Highly recommended!
