Why Choose HydroBeadz Water Beads?
- Much better value when compared to other brands sold in New Zealand (for example, 125g of NoNasties beads would cost more than $100).
- Outer cardboard box and internal resealable bag for easy storage.
- Window on the front to easily tell your colours apart.
- Instruction booklet included in every box.
- All boxes are at least 125g NET weight (generally, the internal bags are overfilled to ensure you always receive what you pay for or more).
- Highest rated water bead brand in New Zealand with hundreds of 5 star reviews across multiple sales channels!
How to Grow Your Water Beads:
Simply place the beads into a container of water for 4 - 6 hours. Remember that you've got around 7000 in a packet, and they grow to many times their original size so don't put too many in at once! We recommend you use distilled water for best results, but tap water should work fine too.
