5.0 out of 5 stars Fun BPA-free toys! April 19, 2011

Just wanted to let everyone who isn't familiar with B.Toys that these toys are sturdy, well-made, and the ENTIRE LINE is BPA-free (and lead-free and phthalate-free). To help get rid of any "fumes" (which we haven't had any problems with and we own nearly all their toys, including the Bristle Blocks), just wash them in a 50/50 white vinegar and water solution, no rinse needed; spin dry in a salad spinner and then let air dry completely. Don't worry - you don't smell the vinegar once the item is dry. This solution also works for clothes with fumes, too - add a cup of vinegar to the wash cycle and the smell will go away.

5.0 out of 5 stars FUNKY & FUN! January 9, 2010

Pop bead are wonderful for fine motor skills and these pop beads are artfully crafted in luscious shades. I especially love the beads that look like raspberries and sea urchin shells. Since they are pop-beads, they can be used over and over again to make numerous creations. There is a slight plastic odor (obviously from off-gassing), so I recommend leaving them in an open container until they air out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Too fun for words! June 21, 2010

When I saw these (in person) I knew I HAD to have them! They are waaaay cooler than the plain circular pop-beads of my childhood! Truth be told, I bought them for myself (I'm 28) but then figured I should probably share them with my daughter, who is 4. I'm not sure which one of us like them more! And then after seeing how fun they are, my mom bought some too. AWESOME toy- every family with a little girl (or a little girl at heart) needs these!

1.0 out of 5 stars Suspicious smell May 14, 2011

By M. Frank

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

I was so excited when my 5-year-old received this as a birthday gift... but then we opened the container, and was appalled by the odor that came out. I don't know what these beads are made of, but they smell horrible. Like sewage. Also, some of the beads are very hard to pop together, even for me, so my 5-year-old doesn't have a chance. What a disappointment. Now I have to figure out how to get rid of them without my little girl being devastated. (She doesn't seem to mind the smell, but honestly, it's really overpowering. How could this have made it to the store shelves like this!??? It smells totally toxic and horrible.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun! January 11, 2011

This has given my 4 year old hours of fun. It's nice to have a "craft" item that can be repeatedly changed. I saw the "smell" issue on the two negative reviews. If I put my nose right up to the container and try really hard, I can smell something. Most new toys have some sort of smell. There is NO smell to me unless I put my face right up to the container. I understand that some people are super-sensitive to smells.....and certain smells I am sensitive to as well....this is just not offensive/overwhelming -and- I am extremely happy with the product.

My daughter received these for her birthday from her grandma. These beads smell horrific. I want to throw these in the trash fast! Who wants chemicals wrapped around their child's neck, wrists, and fingers. Not to mention they touch the beads repeatedly to build the toxic jewelry!

My 5 year old daughter loved the beads, but they smell strongly of chemicals. We washed them, let them air dry in the sun, and they still smell awful, so this toy is going back. It is not safe.

1.0 out of 5 stars Odor is horrible and chemicals are bad for children August 19, 2012

This is a great toy for creating jewelry but the odor is horrible. My friend also has this for her children and commented about the smell. We looked up the contents and it is made in China. There is no way the chemicals can be safe for children so we are throwing this out. I do not recommend it to anyone!!
