Fun weekend activities: Aquabeads

My kids really enjoy crafty hobbies, and I recently bought some Aquabeads for them from Amazon Japan. I think anyone with kids who enjoy hands-on activities would get a kick out of these, and you can get a ton of "add-on" kits above and beyond the starter set.


For instance, they have Disney Princesses, Sanrio characters, Super Mario, Demon Slayer, and more. One of the ones we got was an Animal Crossing add on, and it's really great!


My son made the Tom Nook character yesterday, and here it is after being sprayed with water. I like that with these, you don't need an iron like you do with perler beads to "fuse" them together.

Anyway, if you need an indoor activity for your kids that consumes a bit of time, this would be one I'd recommend!
