Good thing there is the Hama Ironing beads in a big box! 13,000 individual Bügelperlen waiting to be used by small children skillful hands ... Who ordered this box, gets the most popular colors delivered in full tone. There are no transparent beads here. I would have loved me want even more different colors, but can be the most common animals, flowers and items covered with the colors. Schade's just repeatedly that the colors are not separated. So you start with first sort often. The children does not do as much, since only the Mom complains that also love to join in: o)
The box is very nicely decorated. It is transparent and you can see from the outside how many beads are still in it. Thanks to the screw cap, the beads are protected. I do not know if the box would survive a fall onto the hard ground. So exactly I do not want to know ... If we make Bügelbilder, then we tip anyway a part on a plastic plate made. The box would otherwise quickly tilt when removing the beads.
Something produce the Bügelperlen is wonderful. Of course, it promotes fine motor skills of the children! They learn also deal with patience and of course with a defeat, when you nudge a half-finished picture and it will be destroyed. The sensitivity is trained. It is also an excellent activity for rainy weather. Sometimes we lose track of time, because we are so engrossed in attaching beads. There is in my opinion no maximum age for that matter! From 4 years and older! Older children and adults alike, it offers a nice job.
The Hama Ironing beads can be super ironing with baking paper. The beads fuse well and quickly. Incidentally, the final images are always a great gift idea. I recommend a large blank disk, so you can create a lot from my own imagination. We've tinkered times Gift Tags for Christmas. Or door signs with names! Who is creative, more ready ironed parts can be interlocked thus creating 3D objects. The imagination is so boundless.
Conclusion: I'm really convinced of the Hama-Bügelperlen. Quality is perfectly fine. It also has a long fun is it used up everything. We recommend.
