Perler Beads Pattern Cards and Perler Pegboards for Biggie Beads, Fuse Bead Activity Kit for Kids Crafts, 20 pcs

Love these for small children. Wish the biggie beads were more accessible and weren’t so expensive when you could find them

My 4 1/2 year old is just starting to like Perler beads. We use the biggies because even as an adult, I think they're easier being larger in size.A couple notes - you have to buy the right size kit / tray / board for the biggie beads (the biggie tray is about 6" x 6"). The kits come with 2-sided designs to follow although some I had a hard time telling what the design was. Typically a tray or tub of beads comes with one or two sheets of ironing paper. If you are looking at Perlers for the first time, know that this is sort of an adult assisted project, because at the end of this project the adult is to iron the beads together (it takes about 1 minute each side). ...Someone told me I could use parchment paper if I would run out of the ironing sheets. Wax paper apparently doesn't work. I haven't tried anything other than what comes with the beads and I use each sheet over again until it starts to look thinned out or rips. To make digging for the bead colors more enjoyable than digging for the bead colors, invest in a $7 divided tray from Amazon or a craft store and take the time to separate the colors. I've seen the regular sized perler beds sold in the divided trays for a little more money than a tub. I couldn't get my just turned 4 year old into this but almost 5 and she likes it alot. Most craft stores carry perlers you just have to look for all things "biggie" if going for the larger beads. One thing about the biggies I wish would change is that I wish they would sell the individual color beads. I have only seen regular (small) sized beads sold by color. But overall, very happy with this craft - the trays are big enough for little hands and the instructions are short and easy to understand.

This is awesome! The little peg board and variety of patterns are just great. The patterns stay in the board well and it's easy for my 4 year old to use. The biggie beads are great, too. I originally bought him a set with the regular sized beads, but those were pretty frustrating for him because it's so easy to dislodge beads. Even as an adult, it's a little tricky. The biggie beads are perfect for a young child, though. We will try the small beads again in a couple of years.

It has patterns on both sides so easy to add bead on it my 4yrs old daughter liked using tthem

We got our granddaughter biggie beads for her birthday this year. She absolutely loves them. Perfect for her little hands to make designs with.
