Very
good. The box is very bright & girly.
Katelyn could not wait to get started. The box is very sturdy, bright
& colourful. Everything inside the
box was individually packaged. Once
again the quality is tops. No "skimping”
on quality. Good quality paper. All in colour. Very easy to understand. Step by step in writing and in pictures. Everything inside and the box is very good
quality. The instructions and template
sheets are printed on premium quality paper / card. The rings are very good quality plastic, not
flimsy at all. Personally I think at a RRP of £9.99 is a bit on the steep
side. A more realistic price range would
be about £6.99 – £7.99. Great birthday
present for parties of class mates. It would be nice to see boyish aquabeads as
well. Boys enjoy art at this age just
as much as girls…maybe superheroes. Great
stocking filler / art project to keep kids entertain. You can’t fault the
quality, however there is only 1 tray & (in the eyes of a 5 year old) you
have to wait quite a long time for them to dry.Katelyn
enjoyed sorting the different colours in each compartment. The colour & pattern selection is very
good. There is lots of choice. It’s a
pity there is only 1 "layout tray”…definitely need at least 1 more to do it
with a friend; otherwise they will get bored watching each other. It’s a bit fiddly.
Katelyn did struggle with getting the colours / beads in the holes "she”
wanted. It kept on getting mixed up. It
did take quite a while to dry. While waiting for it to dry, she did make her
own patterns on a plate. Chantelle

Brightly
packaged craft set, ideal set for keep a little girl busy on a rainy day.
Packaging Clear and eye catching made my daughter eager to open it and play.
Instructions Easy to read and follow, with lots of hints and tips to get the
rings to bond well. The components of the set were well made and sturdy.
However the finished rings were difficult to make sturdy, my daughter (5yr)
needed a lot of support. Also because of the long drying time you can only make
one ring at a time making it a very short activity. It’s a good choice for a present because of
the large well-designed box; it’s more suitable for an older child. I don’t
feel it provides a long enough activity for £10. I would not purchase the ring
set but have looked online and would purchase other Aquabead sets. The idea of the product is good; however with
the long drying time the activity had a very limited time of providing
entertainment. The aqua beads ring set is a good quality well packaged
set. It is suitable for older children who can handle the tiny beads with
patience. As the rings need to dry on the design rack, it’s only possible to
make one ring at a time making the activity have a short life span. Lucy Lowe –

These
arrived in a brightly coloured box, could clearly see what the item was and
Gail could not wait to get started. The
presentation of the box is very eye catching and would stand out in a
store. Quality is very good. Instructions clear and easy to
understand. The contents of the box are
all of very good quality. These would
definitely make a really good birthday gift.
Price I believe is on a par with similar creative toys. You have 1 tray for you to create and then
allow your ring to dry. Gail loved all
the coloured beads and had fun being creative, just got impatient waiting for
them to dry. Gail enjoyed making
patterns with the beads and eventually loved her ring creation. I think this is a bit fiddly for a 5 year old
and may suit older child. I would
purchase as a gift and would recommend as it is a great concept. Would be better if they could make more than
one ring at a time and all her friends could join in. Good creative toy and
enjoyed by my daughter. Jacqueline Dean
