Welcome to Homework and Horseplay. Today I am sharing my Super Beads Jungle Animals Review. I am always looking for fun S.T.E.A.M. projects for my children to work on, so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to explore Super Beads from Zirrly. I have fond memories of using perler beads as a child, and I am thankful my children finally got the chance to make their own bead masterpieces.
What are Super Beads?
Super Beads Jungle Animals are perler beads with a twist… Super Beads fuse together with just water! Gone are the days of ironing perler beads together.
The Super Beads Jungle Animals costs $24.99 and includes:
- 2,000+ Super Beads
- Design Templates
(lion, rhino, elephant, zebra, owl, and monkey designs) - Super Beads Work Tray
- 1 Spray Bottle
- 6 Boards
- 1 Design Tool
- Instructions
I really appreciate that the beads come in smaller packages. As you can see in the picture above each color has multiple packages, and I know this saved us from a huge mess. We opened only one or two packages at a time, so we wouldn’t have a million beads open in the box.
How do you use Super Beads?
Our Super Beads Jungle Animals kit came with very simple, and easy to follow instructions.
As you can see the instructions include pictures and text. This is really helpful for younger children using this product, and serves as a good guide on how close you should be when spraying your design with water.
To get started all you have to do is put your design template under the bead board, and then follow the pattern. Once all of your beads are in place you then spray it with water. The directions tell you to wait 30 minutes, and then remove from the board. Zirrly provided me with updated information that said to wait 60 minutes, and I definitely recommend waiting at least that long. At the 30 minute mark Julia checked our designs and they were a bit sticky still. We had a few other things we needed to work on, so we just let them dry for the afternoon.
We found it a lot easier to get the designs off the board by using the provided design tool. Make sure not to remove your project too quickly because certain areas are a little more delicate. Jack got a little too excited while removing his lion from the design board, so we had to spray the design with water again to reattach the tail. I was very relieved that it was such an easy fix to put the lion back together. I would have had an extremely disappointed boy on my hands if he did all that work for it to be ruined so quickly.
Homework and Horseplay’s final thoughts…
My children really enjoyed building their Super Beads Jungle Animals. The only complaint I have is that some of the beads did leave colored marks on Jack’s hands, and some of the color transferred to other beads.
This did not happen with Julia, so I think it might be because Jack is always warm and tends to have “clammy hands”. After completing his project he washed his hands, and the color came right off. The little bit of color bleeding was not a big deal to me since it was easy enough to clean up, and my son had so much fun making a lion.
It is really exciting for me to find something my children, especially my daughter, enjoys so much. As children get older it becomes more challenging to find things to entertain them with that does not involve a screen. I have found Julia working on our Super Beads Jungle Animals numerous times since we opened up the package, so I call that a huge win. I will definitely purchase more Super Beads from Zirrly again.
