WATER BEADS & ORBEEZ® AUSTRALIA

Yes, water beads in bulk orders are available or you can select multiple 300 gram packs.  There are approximately 18,000 beads per 300gram pack. If you need to purchase by the KG we can help you.

Our water beads come in 10g sachets. Simply soak the contents of one sachet in 1.5 L of water for roughly 8 hours – overnight is perfect – and voila! Your once tiny beads are now the size of marbles and are ready for use.

We love adding them to vases and centrepieces to create unique decor for the home, or events like weddings and birthday shindigs. There are other uses for water beads, though, such as adding them to your garden soil to assist with keeping your plants and flowers hydrated, or as a sensory tool for children.

Please note: Our product is not a toy. We recommend strict adult supervision should you choose to use water beads for sensory purposes with children, as they can be a serious choking hazard.

All our water beads come in 10g portions. Individual bead counts per 10g as follows (approximate only):

• 10 grams = 600 beads / orbeez
• 50 grams = 3000 beads / orbeez
• 100 grams = 6000 beads / orbeez
• 300 grams = 18000 beads / orbeez

Caution!: Some online shops suggest they have tens of thousands of beads in small packs (eg. 10grams) which is a blatant lie. The most reliable way to purchase is by total weight. 

Yes. Water beads and Orbeez® both use a super-absorbent polymer to expand to around 100 times their original size. Orbeez® is the trademarked name for water beads which is owned by Water Beads Australia Pty Ltd (in Australia). They are also known as water crystals, water balls, gel balls, water marbles, crystal soil and magic fairy beads.

Yes, at the time of writing this we are not aware of any online shop based in Australia, that holds Australian stock with water beads cheaper than ours. And if you find a product at a cheaper price we’ll match it (please see T&C’s for price match details).

Bulk water beads orders are available, or you can select multiple 300 gram packs. There are approximately 18,000 beads per 300gram pack. If you need to purchase by the KG we can help you.

Based purely on sales the colours that we ship most frequently are clear, purple, turquoise, blue, red and pink. However, the most beautiful colour in our opinion is turquoise – it looks absolutely stunning!
