Creation StationCreation Station 215 g Barrel of Beads in Assorted Styles, Pack of 1200

A lovely range of bead designs including crowns, dolphins, flowers, shinies, hearts, stars, butterflies, normal rounded beads and clear ones.I bought these for my preschool cohort to make mother's day bracelets to go inside their cards as a gift for their mums. The children enjoyed making them and the beads were sturdy enough to withstand a few drops on the floor!The holes were big enough for the kiddies to post the bracelet thread through and see what they were doing. I used a 1mm clear plastic thread for this.Like other reviews have said, there were a few broken beads and bits of random plastic within the tub so I had to sift through first to make sure they were safe to use. I've added a photo at the end of what I received.On the whole, I would definitely buy these again and think they are great value for money!

I look after a lady whom is blind, she enjoys threading beads, she has really enjoyed using these. Only got rid of the smaller odd shaped ones, but the rest have been great, as there are lots of variety of shapes and sizes.

Good beads, small for what i needed it fo4. so depends what it is for.

Great all rounder, brought these for my grandkids to use. We had great time making all kinds of things.

Ok bit not for kids 7 and under, too many tiny ones not enough big. Would if been good to supply the laces with them so not value for money.

Working as a playworker in a 'before and after' school club I can say, on behalf of the children that they have thoroughly enjoyed threading the beads, making bracelets and necklaces.The beads vary in shape are colourful and are of a good size for handling and threading.

It was OK for the price I paid which was 5.49 And I will say the sizes of the bees are really good you get all sorts of shapes and sizes a really good mix I must admit for the price I paid I did get quite a Bargain xBut after pouring the beads onto a tray I found hundreds and hundreds of little stray pieces of plastic and a few broken beads Which Wasn't good because it took me Ages to get rid of I have to pick through!!!! The picture shows just what was left in the bottom of the jar after I poured the beads out It took me about 2 and a 1/2 hours to pick through them all to make them safe for my children to make bracelets I do feel that they're a good price for what you get but I'd probably will be going with a more expensive But I couldn't this time because my kids had already seen them and had waited a few days for them to be delivered so it was a case of just buck up pick the bits out !!!!!

Great
