Water Beads

Sensory Fun
We've discovered sensory tubs and are hooked.  
Today we discovered Water beads.  Thank you playathomemom3 for introducing us to these amazing polymers.  I think my husband and I had as much fun with these as the kiddos did.  I wish we had a marble run to put these down.  That would have been added fun.

After soaking 6 hours in water

Waiting to see what happens

These are amazing over light. 


These have been the funnest sensory tub we've done yet.

Turn out the light and see them glow over the lights.


These were so much fun that we'll be doing this again soon.  They were slimy, squishy, bouncy, and looked amazing over the lights. We found these at Walmart in the craft department by the silk flowers.
