- Children and adults can have great fun with tiny plastic beads, whether they string them, press them or iron them
- They are completely safe should they be swallowed, and through nature of the raw materials no harm will come to the child.

We have been huge fans of Hama beads and kits in this house for a couple of years now. My 7 year old makes bracelets and then melts down imaginative pendants for them. She has made picture frames, dolls for removable paper clothes and all sorts of peculiar looking monsters. One recent creation was a hama-bead charm bracelet! My 4 year old son makes pictures of cars, dinosaurs and traffic lights and then plays with them.
It is a simple concept. Put small plastic beads onto a plastic board to make a picture. Use some baking paper to iron (on a low setting) to melt the beads together, and then peel the picture off. The "midi" beads are suitable for about 3 and a half to 10 (or over. I'm addicted...) you can get much larger beads for smaller children, and much smaller beads for older children and adults. I haven't tried either, and we are sticking to "midi" beads for now.
There are also the kits with the instructions on how to create the intricate pattern to make really impressive pictures. It would be nice if the manufacturers had a website where they had a few more examples you can copy. I understand that you can get books and things, but we haven't looked at these yet.
The only downside is that these creations by their very nature cannot last forever if you play with them constantly or wear them a lot. But truly this toy is an all round winner. Hours of peace for parents, creative play for youngsters, and a praiseworthy creation at the end.
Okay, adults, you need to iron for a few seconds after the kids have finished their work, but it is not difficult and doesn't take any time. Also, I think it's fantastic that it doesn't (as yet anyway) have any big brand affiliation, like Disney princess, Barbie, Bob the Builder, ben 10 or whatnot, so proving that children CAN have fun without some random cynical branding stamped all over it.
My advice to a child who has it for the first time: Start simple, because it is rewarding and you see the point of it... a bit like jigsaws or crosswords. Then when you work your way up to the elaborate pictures suggested by the kit, it becomes a masterpiece.

I am the mother of a very creative 7 year old, who sometimes gets bored following the designs that come with the actual packages, so along with more pegboards and a lot of beads, she can now create countless patterns.
But don't be fooled a lot more can be done with these beads that using them with other Hama products.
At the minute my daughter is making very colourful bead curtains for her bedroom.

Brilliant fun for boys and girls. They get to make a finished item that can be individually created. I find playing with Hama Beads as an adult relaxing.

Hamma Beads
This product was well worth the money, some of these sets with the boards can work out quite expensive but if your kids already have the boards this is ideal.
