We have dabbled in Hama Beads before but the children were quite a bit younger, we used the small beads and it wasn’t entirely relaxing, so I left it for a long time, but I always meant to have another go at it. Then I discovered Maxi Hama Beads, the chunky ones which are suitable for younger children. It still took me a while to buy some kits, and even longer to do them, but a couple of months ago Rabbit made a butterfly. She was very proud of it. And then it broke. I promised to fix it and forgot for a long time. But today I did it! I fixed the butterfly, and the boys made a dinosaur. Turns out all it took was a vomiting bug to keep us all in the house. Anyway, I think we now have the Hama Bead bug as well so we’ll be back here to buy some more.
This is not a sponsored post. I am writing this because I want to support this business, run by a lovely home educating mum. And also because I think the products are really good!
ohh we should have a Hama Beads Wednesday afternoon sometime – H has the maxi ones too and a few templates (although she doesn’t really stick to them!)
Perfect. Home Ed group is on Wednesday afternoons, and we could definitely have a Hama Bead themed session. Anyone interested in Home Ed is welcome and there are quite a few under-fives.
We spent this afternoon making things with hama beads too! Obviously it was the day for it! My youngest has taken her ladybird to bed with her! ;D
Lovely:-)
So that’s what those are called! My niece makes these all the time and they seem really fun to do.
They are great fun, and good for a really wide age range.
