Review
When our Pop-Arty! beads arrived, we felt like it was Christmas morning all over again! My daughter eagerly took the jar of beads from me, ran to her play table, and was busily engaged for almost an hour. For anyone with a six year old, you know that is a wonderful thing! Another day, time with her Pop-Arty! beads was a reward after a job well done in math time. She makes jewelry for both of us and decorations that find themselves hanging around the house. My little one loves creating and jewelry, so this toy is a great combination for her. As a mom, here are some of my favorite features:
- Pop-Arty! beads come in their own plastic jar with a handle. I don’t know about you; but I would not want 500 plastic beads rolling around the living room. A gift tag is even attached.
- A colorful booklet with ideas accompanies the beads; and, for parents, a booklet with adorable quotes from children.
- These are not our childhood pop beads! Instead of primary colors, these beads have different texture and various shades of fuschia, lime green, turquoise, and even animal print!
- Pop-Arty! could be so much more than just a toy if used for sorting, pattern making, or even fine motor skills for young children or special needs students.
- Pop-Arty! encourages independent creativity.
