Square water beads!
 |
You’ve seen them on every blog out there and kids love them. I was about to order some online when Alex found some in the dollar store garden aisle with the new summer stuff at the end of April. They had beads, but also cubes! Which I thought was pretty cool, so we took some of those too. Since the posts out there are all about beads I’m gonna share our cubes with you 
As per instructions we put them in water and let them grow. Funny how the bead colors bleed in the water but the cubes don’t, I wonder why… Nico liked watching them grow a few times during the day. We dumped the extra water and voilà – our cubes!
Of course, Nico brought his kitchen stuff into play. Pot, measuring spoon, wooden spoon, mixer and stove!
When Nico got into speed stirring mode, Alex who was already picking up a few fallen cubes, got really worried! He also noticed if you squish it, it crumbles and sticks to you, lol.
If you do this, we’d LOVE to see a photo of it. Email it
to us or post it on our Facebook page. We’d love to do a Facebook album, a Pinterest board and a page of your creations
If you like what you see, follow us on Facebook to keep up to date with what we’re up to!

They are cool. Normal beads roll and all over the place. These cubes appeal to me
