We first blogged about water beads back in the beginning of June, and since then - WOW - they have really taken off with parents, caregivers, and schools! AWESOME! If you haven't played with these slippery little suckers yet, you are really missing out. Its a great sensory experience for ALL ages.

Putting water beads in the tubes - great for fine motor skills (and confidence, patience, resilience, etc).
