We weren't expecting them to be so bouncy!
This is where I got tired of trying to catch them as they bounced all around the kitchen hoping the dog wouldn't eat them. The towel helped a lot with this
Then we got creative and added some valentine silicone cupcake molds
Jada would stop every once in a while just to run her hands through the beads. I tried it and it was a very nice calming feeling
Thanks for looking and I love reading your comments. Please see my sidebar for all the great blogs I link up to:)

I love touching those! Thank you for sharing.
We still haven't tried these, yet. It looks like fun. Is the middle picture a close-up of the beads or did they get really BIG?
@ Moiss Courtnety,
a close up lol they are a blast to play with a must try
That looks like fun. When my children were small they didn't have those, my kids would have loved it. Visiting from Show and tell blog hop

Cool! I never thought to add our glass beads to water! Sooooo doing this this afternoon.
Love the tagline to your blog - totally agree with you...all about process.
What a fun activity ... and a great sensory experience! Thanks so much for linking up with Montessori Monday. I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/LivingMontessoriNow
You should try putting them over a light table. Way cool effect. They grow really cool. Don't you just love how they feel?

The more I see of these the more I want to get some.
Thanks for linking to Science Sunday!

Thanks for sharing this at WOTT! I am featuring it this week :)
Just found your blog through Deb Chitwood. Love these water beads! We'll be giving them a try. ;0)
I'm following you now. I need to check out your other ideas!
Love these waterbeads- seen them several times now on the net. Where can I purchase them? I'd love to subscribe to your blog via email if I can? You have such great ideas! Thanks for sharing, eh? Your fellow Canadian {living in T.O}. Sabrina
sabrina you can buy the beads in any flower shop:)
Oh thank you Andrea!
I just came back from Walmart where I found the beads! Unfortunately I noticed a warning on the back stating something to the effect that the beads may cause reproductive problems, etc, etc. I decided to opt out....boo hoo- I really wanted to get these for my kids!
R these the same as the ones I see in walmart in the floral dept.??
Tracy yes they are. Just be careful not to give this activity to young toddlers who put them in their mouth. I hear they have some pretty nasty chemicals in them??
