I bought this recently for my niece who is six. Hama beads are the little beads that allow you to create patterns on a board and then, after a quick whizz over it with an iron, they can be removed from the board and enjoyed. I am a recent convert to hama beads after seeing how much fun my son had creating patterns with them at school, and so I thought that this would be a lovely present for a little girl that loves jewellery in general.
When the set arrived I was very impressed by the lovely shapes and colours of the beads - definitely a good start! The set is a good size, looks lovely and should have enough beads for quite a few pieces of jewellery art. My niece was absolutely thrilled with it and has already created a few masterpieces! She had some help from grandma originally, but now that she's gained confidence the sky is the limit! It's a lovely activity to do together and this will allow little girls to make their own creations that they can be really proud of, and that will have their friends green with envy!
