This is a video that walks you through this fun Klutz book. My boys both love this activity book where you make you own pop bead critters. We took it on a plane trip, and I really appreciated having it with us. My children ( 4 and 7 year old boys )enjoyed playing with pets they made. Then of course you get to take them apart and remake them in different colors or configurations.

The only thing I failed to warn you about in the video is the wire end of the spiral binding which will catch on and create a pull in carpet. Other than this minor nuisance it is a wonderful activity and toy set.

A neighbor gave my daughter this "bead" book. She spent hours making necklaces and creatures. She started to create patterns with the colors and shapes, which I thought was terrific. The book has pictures of all the creatures you can make and my daughter had a lot of fun making them all.

Pop Bead Critters are great fun, there are several different types of animal bodies and you just add pop beads to make them into something else. Three caterpillar bodies, a blue dog and two strange spidery sort of things. The pop beads come in several different types from round to oval to hexagonal.

There is a lovely brightly illustrated book to go with it with lots more ideas to give inspiration. It has given my two pre-schoolers hours and hours of fun. they play games with them, make necklaces, make decorations for the Christmas tree and more.

What I love about these is they are brightly coloured and easy to use. They are recommended for over 3 year olds because of choking hazards, but you will be able to supervise slightly younger children with them. Excellent for teaching counting and early maths skills such as patterning. They are great for fine motor skills.

A fabulous present for your kids - get them the pop bead people as well!
