In today’s digital age, finding activities that pull kids away from TV, tablets, and phones can be a challenge. Orbeez provide completely screen-free play that engages all senses with their vibrant colors, mesmerizing expansion, and addicting squishy texture. Kids interact and invent new ways to play.
Orbeez toys are designed for open-ended play rather than single prescribed uses. Whether used in sensory bins, arts and crafts, or our blasters and spas, the play possibilities are endless. Kids are free to explore, create, and find new ways to learn through Orbeez.
Our water beads can be used over and over again in multiple projects. Just air dry Orbeez out and they shrink back down to reusable beads. This reduces waste compared to many sensory materials. Plus, they are made from recyclable plastic.
You can rest easy knowing Orbeez are completely non-toxic with strict safety testing. Made from polymer instead of gelatin, they don’t promote bacterial growth. Supervision is still recommended with all youth activities.
Getting tons of sensory materials on a budget can be tough. With bulk jars starting under £10 and free shipping on orders over £25, Orbeez make sensory play affordable for classrooms, therapists, and parents.
Most importantly, kids go crazy over the vibrant colors, stretchy texture, and magical expanding properties of Orbeez. Your kids will love discovering all the exciting ways to play and create!
As a mom of energetic three year old twins, I'm constantly on the hunt for open-ended sensory toys that engage their curiosity and imagination. The Orbeez Ultimate Soothing Spa has been a total game changer! The kids love the bright colors and weird texture of the water beads. I just add a few scoops to the foot spa tub, let them expand, and watch the magic happen. For over an hour, my twins were completely absorbed scooping up beads, molding them, and squishing their toes in the tub. The Orbeez provided a wonderful tactile experience that held their attention much longer than typical water play. Clean up was so easy too - I just strained out the beads and left them to air dry for 24 hours. This has become a regular calming activity that my twins ask for every day. I can't recommend Orbeez enough for parents of sensory seeking kids!
My 8 year old son has always been a very active, curious, take-apart-and-figure-out-how-things-work kind of kid. I wanted to encourage his interests in engineering and science and thought Orbeez would be a perfect open-ended material to explore STEAM concepts. We started by watching the Orbeez grow 100 times their size in water - just the process of expansion got him really engaged in the science behind polymers. Now he loves setting up elaborate marble runs and contraptions to send the Orbeez rolling, bouncing, and flying in different directions. I got him an Orbeez blaster for his birthday and watching him tweak the pump pressure to optimize his shot was fantastic problem-solving. The blaster has been a huge hit with squirt gun battles in the backyard too. Plus Orbeez are so easy for him to reuse in multiple projects. A+ purchase for curious, crafty kids!
As an elementary school teacher, I'm always looking to incorporate more interactive sensory materials into my math, science, and maker lessons. I discovered Orbeez this year and they've been an incredible asset for multi-sensory activities with tangible connections to standards-based content. For example, when studying capacity and volume, students used graduated beakers to observe the dramatic expansion of dried vs hydrated Orbeez. When learning about polymers and chemical changes of state, Orbeez were a perfect model for kids to touch and feel. I've also set up 'Orbeez Design Studios' for open-ended engineering challenges using tools like ramps, tubes, funnels. This builds critical thinking and problem solving with engaging materials they love. My students talk about Orbeez all the time! I highly recommend them as an educational tool.
We've been looking for screen-free activities to do with our grandkids when they visit on school holidays. Our 8 year old granddaughter loves hands-on creative projects so we got her an Orbeez slime kit to try. She had a blast making sparkly, swirly Orbeez slime combining the water beads with glues, scents, and foam pieces. I barely recognized the goopy, colorful result as slime! We learned that adding too many Orbeez makes the slime fluffy while limiting the beads allows it to get stretchier. Our granddaughter came up with several fun textures and even invented a game trying to catch the slime before it oozed through our hands. She played with it for hours, getting delightfully messy in the process. We all had so much fun and it gave me ideas to try even more Orbeez art projects with her next time.
As a busy college student, I was constantly stressed and anxious about classes, work, and student loan debt looming over me after graduation. I found myself constantly clicking pens, tearing paper, and just fidgeting to try to deal with stress. A friend suggested I try an Orbeez stress ball to channel that nervous energy. I decided to get the capsule shaped one and keep it on my desk during long study sessions. It was the perfect texture and size for absent-minded squishing and squeezing when I felt overwhelmed. Just having something for my hands to play with seemed to really help me focus. I liked that it gradually went back to its original shape too, so I could repeatedly squeeze-and-release to a rhythmic pattern that I found soothing. I'm not typically into fidget toys, but this one really hit the spot. I'd absolutely recommend the Orbeez stress balls for anyone looking for a discreet anxiety-relieving tool.
Orbeez are super colorful, soft water beads that grow to more than 100X their original size when soaked in water! They come in a variety of vibrant colors and can be used for sensory play, crafting, decorating, and more.
Orbeez have an incredibly fun, squishy texture when wet and shrink back down to teeny beads when dried. Kids love watching them grow and transform. Their bright colors, smooth feel, and reusable properties make Orbeez an irresistible sensory experience!
There are endless ways to play and create with Orbeez! Once hydrated in water, you can squish them, mold them, paint them, wear them as jewelry - anything goes. Use them in place of water in water tables or bins for splashy sensory play. Mix colors together to create new shades. Stack them high and knock them down. The creative play is unlimited!
Our top-selling Orbeez toys include the Orbeez Soothing Spa for the ultimate foot soak experience, squishy Orbeez stress balls for sensory relief, Orbeez blasters that shoot water beads up to 65 feet, and pre-made Orbeez slime kits for colorful DIY slime. We also offer value bulk packs of Orbeez in every color of the rainbow!
Orbeez blasters offer hours of stomping, splatting, splashing summer fun! Just load the chamber with water beads, pump the handle to build pressure, pull the trigger, and fire away. Clear shields help protect you from any stray shots. Target practice, target shooting battles, or just free-fire - blasters bring the excitement!
Yes, when used properly under supervision, Orbeez are completely safe and non-toxic for kids. They are made of super absorbent hygienic polymer and are free of BPAs, phthalates, lead, and other harsh chemicals. Just be sure to avoid ingestion.
Simply spread Orbeez out on a towel or baking sheet to air dry. Within 1-2 days, they will shrink back down to their original tiny bead size. It’s like magic! Then they’re ready to expand and play again.
We don’t recommend pouring Orbeez beads down the drain as they could expand and clog pipes. Allow beads to fully air dry before disposal. The dry beads can go in the trash.
