Aqua Beads

I have started to think about how my project links into schools. I started the project working with beads. Children can use beads in school. There are so many possible activities that children can complete.

You can buy aqua beads. These are beads that are laid out on a tray and once they are sprayed with water the beads stick together. This is a simple activity that allows the children to create their own patterns using beads.

Here are some examples of aqua beading.

I would probably complete this type of activity in reception. I would not use this activity in nursery as the beads are too small and the children may choke on them and they are quite fiddly.
