Our products are based on colourful beads and pegboards. You can make either simple or complicated designs by placing beads on the pegboard.
1. Just keep adding beads to the pegboard until you have created the design you want. You can keep moving the beads around until they have been ironed.
While playing with HAMA Beads, children are:
• developing their motor skills
• learning to count
• learning to match colours
• learning to recognize geometric figures
• enhancing their creativity
2. Place a piece of ironing paper on top of the design. Use a household iron to fuse the beads together. Follow our ironing instructions carefully and always let an adult do the ironing.
3. After waiting a few minutes to allow the beads to cool off, lift off the ironing paper and remove the design from the pegboard. You can now play with it, hang it in the window, etc. Once ironed, the beads cannot be used again. Through careful ironing, the pegboard itself can be used over and over again.
The beads are available in three different sizes:
x l O mm, recommended for 3 years and upwards.
x 5 mm, recommended for 5 years and upwards (most popular).
2,5 x 2,5 mm, recommended for lO years and upwards.
HAMA Beads do not damage clothes or furniture. Should a few beads end up in the washing machine, they will simply pass through without any mishaps. If you use our ironing paper, no stain will be left behind on the iron.
HAMA products have passed all relevant safety tests and fulfil the requirements of the European Toy Safety Directive. If a child should swallow any beads, there will be no cause for alarm. The beads will pass safely through the child's system because they are smooth and have no sharp edges.
Our HAMA products are designed, produced and packed in Nykøbing Mors, Denmark.
