Pop Beads!
I was looking for an easily transportable activity for the kids that we could take on vacation – and found these B. Pop-Arty! Funky Pop Beads at Target. I remembered my mom talking a lot about pop beads from years ago and how much fun they were, but this is the first time I think I’ve seen them for sale.
I have to tell you, these are even better than I thought they’d be. There are 500 beads, and they come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. I didn’t even realize when I bought them that they came with bracelet and ring “bases” I guess you’d call them. The beads are a little hard for my three year-old to snap together by herself, but she still loves wearing all her new jewelry. I’d say these would make a great gift for a girl age 3 – 12 or so.
$14.99 at Target

oh my!!! in my kindergarten picture i’m wearing a necklace made from pop beads!!! and i’m 59!!! sooooooo that was 54 years ago!! glad to know that kids NOW can have fun with them! ok – i need to go sit down! :^)
We received these as a birthday present for my 4-year-old and have had a blast with them! So many colors, shapes and patterns, as well as so many different things to make. My only negative comment is that they have a strange smell to them when you first use them, so we have been unltra-careful about not putting them near the mouth, washing hands afterward, etc. Also – if you have younger kids in the house, not a good idea as some of the beads are very small and roll away under teh sofa pretty easily!!
