    Aquabeads Finding Dory Playset review

    May 6, 2017 - By 

    It’s been a while since we have reviewed any Aquabeads sets. Both the children (aged 5 and 7) enjoy Aquabeads. They are the perfect after school activity for them, as they require a little bit of concentration, and peace and quiet for me! Aquabeads Finding Dory playset Dory might not remember her unforgettable adventures but you can make your favourite characters to help remind her. Just keep Aquabeading with this Finding Dory Playset which includes over 780 beads in 11 colours and three template sheets which let you make Dory, Nemo, his father Marlin and Hank. Just in case you…

    Aquabeads Super Mario playset review

    September 17, 2016 - By 

    My son is a keen gamer. Screen time is his reward for doing his homework, reading a book to his younger sister or going to bed properly. Yes, at 6 he still has a reward chart but it really works for him (and us!). Anyway, his favourite games are Mario Super Kart on the DS and Star Wars Force Awakens on the PS4. I think I mentioned we were recently asked to be Aquabeaders and were sent the Aquabeads Super Mario Playset to review and share with you.

    The weather has taken a turn for the worse so I’m really grateful we have been sent some lovely toys and games to review. Today I’m going to share the new Disney Frozen Aquabeads Playset. This is a fun set that lets you create your favourite Frozen characters including Elsa, Anna, and Olaf. Aquabeads are really fun and something my 4 and 6 year old love to play with. Simply select a design template, place the layout tray over the template and create your design. When you’ve finished, spray with water and the beads will magically stick together. This set…

    Monday Happy List – Week 97

    August 1, 2016 - By 

    Last week was the first full week my husband spent out of hospital and it was good to have him home. To give him a chance to recuperate the kids spent the week at Super Camp. I was a little apprehensive how they would get on but they loved it. They did a multi-activity week and came home happy but tired every day. Because the children were busy we were able to enjoy a little date during the day. We went to the cinema to see Jason Bourne, I love Matt Damon and this was a great fast-paced action film.…

    Aquabeads Dazzling Ring Set

    June 10, 2016 - By 

    I’ve always found making things to be the best hobby. Luckily my children think so too! As my 4 year old olny has afternoon sessions we usually spend the morning crafting. This week we have been trying out a new set from Aquabeads – the Dazzling Ring Set. This is a Refill set which means you need to already have a Layout tray and water Sprayer. The Dazzling Ring Set contains over 400 jewel and solid beads, 6 x ring bodies and 3 x template sheets. My 4 year old chose the template sheet she wanted to make, I slipped…

    Aquabeads Minnie Mouse Playset review

    May 14, 2016 - By 

    I’m always surprised that my children love anything with small beads but they do. It’s been drilled in to them that they have to be careful, but they are, and I love that the benefits of this kind of toys are huge. Both children love Aquabeads and I like the fact the beads stick with a simple spray of water. Last week we received one of the new Aquabeads Playsets to review – the Minnie Mouse Playset. We’d actually seen this Playset in our local toy shop so my 4 year old was really happy to open it. I think this is…

    Aquabeads Sweets set

    October 20, 2015 - By 

    We’ve been sent a few lovely toys to review lately and the last one I wanted to tell you about today was the Aquabeads Sweets set. Aquabeads are small round coloured balls which stick together with a spray of water. My 3 year old loves them, which surprises me as they are quite small, so she was really pleased to receive the Aquabeads Sweets set to review. These small Aquabeads sets only contain the templates and beads, you will need to own an Aquabeads layout tray and sprayer. The set contains 600 beads in 10 different colours, both jewel and solid beads.…

    August 30, 2015 - By 

    We’re big fans of trying lots of different crafts. If my children can make something with minimum input from me then they’re pretty happy. We’ve crafted with Aquabeads before so were pleased to be sent the new Aquabeads Bracelet Set. This is a Refill Set which means it only comes with beads and the card templates, you will also need the Aquabeads layout tray and sprayer. The Aquabeads Bracelet Set contains over 500 jewel and solid beads in a variety of colours, 4 x template sheets, instructions and a bracelet. We opened up the packs of beads and Little Sis…
