little beads by calx

little beads

These guys are called Hama beads. If you have kids you will know exactly what they are! If you don't... they are little plastic beads about 5mm long. You create patterns with them on a peg board. Once finished you can iron your design to glue the beads together. They are good fun to play with and constitute tiny things!
Great colours, I have not heard of these before.

@mcdermgl if I am honest.... I put the explanation in for you and @kwiksilver ;)

Very colourful. (I was going to say nice, but resisted). I don't have kids & know what they are. I also know what fimo is. Am now wondering if this is not a good thing. ;)

Great close up! You will have to show us what you made with them.

@humphreyhippo fimo??? there's a whole world of things out there I've never heard of!!

@kwiksilver fimo is a bit like plastic but you cook it, it makes little models or jewelry. You should visit the craft section of a toy shop... a learning experience for you!
@humphreyhippo Should one infer from this that you are a big kid? @copperheadglass there's an idea for another day :)

@kwiksilver Also known as polymer clay - http://fimo.com/ - lots of fun, though I suspect it's not aimed at my age group. ;)

Ooooh, Calx, I often go to toy shops - looking for jigsaw puzzles ... but the craft section? Will have to investigate :) Plus, bought a bubble gun a few weeks back ... but have to work out how to disable the noise/sounds before I play with it a bit more :))

@calx I very much appreciate the explanation:-) I rarely go into toy shops and sometimes feel overwhelmed with the options when I do. Last time I was in one it was to buy lego. like @kwiksilver fimo is new to me:-)

Great photo, so colorful, and these beads are so much fun to play with and create things from. We made several Christmas decorations out of them this past year.
