Beados

Am I the only person that thinks that Beados is the worst named kids toy going? Have you heard the tune in the adverts? Its even beados than saying it!

This has me amazed, I think I'd probably take over haha. I like that there's no messy glue and glitter, I dread the thought of when that day comes and the mess that follows. I like that there's a nice clean alternative. It looks really good. I may get one for my friends kid, it'll keep her quiet for a few hours. This kind of a toy is very new to me. What a perfect way of teaching children creativity, coordination and patience.

Bindeez also marketed as Aqua Dots , [1] Beados , [2] PixOs , [3] and Aquabeads are a children's toy , consisting of small coloured plastic beads that can be arranged in designs. In , Bindeez was subject to a multi-national product recall after it was found that the Wangqi Product Factory in Shenzhen , China had, in some shipped toys, used a cheap chemical that was a pharmacologically active sedative prodrug instead of the safer chemical specified by the designers, resulting in the illness and hospitalization of some children who ingested the beads. Bindeez contains a craft kit that allows children to create various multi-dimensional designs using small colored beads. The beads are arranged into various designs on a plastic tray. When the beads are sprayed with water, their surfaces become adhesive and they fuse together. The beads are then left to dry and the whole design becomes fixed and can be removed from the tray. Unlike iron-fusible beads , they do not require heat to be fused. The beads are approximately five millimetres in diameter and come in a wide range of colours. Bindeez are available in various different kits with accessories such as a drying fan, applicator pen, design templates for the beads, and water spray bottles. The product is labelled for ages four and above. Bindeez were first withdrawn from the Australian market, [6] and subsequently from the North American market by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission [7] [8] as well as European markets [9] [10] in early November They were recalled in Australia after a two-year-old boy and a year-old girl became seriously ill after they swallowed large numbers of the beads and the connection between the illness and the product was discovered by a doctor at The Children's Hospital at Westmead, Sydney. When we first announced the recall on Wednesday, we knew of two children who had fallen into non-responsive comas after ingesting the beads used with this arts and crafts toy. Since the recall was announced, we have learned of seven additional incidents, some involving children who had to be hospitalized this is now being reported on the AP wire.

Dd is asking for these, she loves Hama beads but I get fed up of ironing the bloody things so was wondering if these would be better? Do they stick together as well as the Hama beads? My daughter wants the beados aswell. We had aqua beads one year and they are not a patch on Hama beads, very fiddly and don't really hold together. I love Hamma beads and hate Aquabeads with a passion. They are fiddly, fragile and frustrating.
