Aquabeads Finding Dory Playset

Aquabeads Finding Dory Playset review

Posted on May 6, 2017 by jenny

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…

Aquabeads Super Mario playset review

Posted on September 17, 2016May 4, 2019 by jenny

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…

Monday Happy List – Week 97

Posted on August 1, 2016April 13, 2024 by jenny

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…

Then it was time to place the finished design on the ring body. The designs are really sweet and we enjoyed making them together.

Aquabeads Dazzling Ring Set

Posted on June 10, 2016April 7, 2017 by jenny

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…

Aquabeads Minnie Mouse Playset review

Posted on May 14, 2016April 7, 2017 by jenny

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…

Aquabeads Sweets set

Posted on October 20, 2015April 7, 2017 by jenny

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…

Aquabeads Bracelet Set

Posted on August 30, 2015April 7, 2017 by jenny

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…
