Available Sizes:
We currently have three sizes available - small, regular, and large. As packets are sold by weight, the smaller the bead size the more there will be in a packet.
Small Beads:
These are the smallest and firmest beads. They grow to approximately 7 to 8mm in diameter and you can expect around 10,000 per 85 gram packet.
Regular Beads:
These are our mid sized beads. They are the most popular size chosen as they are large enough for play, whilst also maintaining durability. They grow to approximately 10 to 12mm in diameter and you can expect about 7000 in each packet.
Large Beads:
Our large beads work great as decorations, although they can also be used for play too. Softer and less durable, they'll break apart more easily when compared to the regular and small sizes. These grow to approx. 15mm in diameter and you can expect about 2500 per 85 gram packet.
Available Colours:
* Please note that not all colours are available for each size.
How Do I Grow My HydroBeadz?
Simply place your HydroBeadz into a container of water for 4 - 6 hours (the large size may require a little longer). Remember that you've got thousands in each packet, and they grow to many times their original size so don't put too many in at once! We recommend you use distilled water for best results, but tap water should work fine too.
Regardless of the size of beads used, you should aim for one measuring teaspoon of beads per 3 measuring cups of water.
