Fun with Pearl/Water beads

One of the things I have been trying to do at playgroup each week is to provide a sensory experience for the children....and parents.

I first saw these water beads over at MNM's and the again at A little delightful  .


 I knew they were something that could be fun


It took me a little while to source them...making sure they were non toxic for the children....


I spent a couple of days "growing" them in water......my guys had a great time playing with them...running them through their fingers...


As I hoped they would be .... a huge hit at playgroup for both the kids and the parents......they resemble "fish eggs" and have a very calming feel to them.

I placed them into my sensory tray and added on this occasion some plastic easter eggs . This was to tie in with the Easter theme we have running.
Next time I think I will add the sea creatures, fish and  shells  .


If you would like to try some for yourself...here is where I sourced mine and they were really helpful and great service.
