Only the highest quality polymer. 100% non toxic & biodegradable water beads (Orbeez).
Water beads (also known as Orbeez) are fun, versatile, educational and they look absolutely stunning. They can be used for home decor, school projects, table centrepieces, vases, gardening, or just some good old fashioned crafty fun. Super-absorbent polymer looks like crystal soil and goes by many names which are all essentially the same thing, a small hydrogel that can absorb up to 99.8% of liquid. The main differences between beads found on the market are their initial size and synthetic makeup. At Water Beads Australia we only supply non-toxic and biodegradable polymer. Water beads bulk orders are also available.

What are water beads (Orbeez)?
Water beads (Orbeez) are a super-absorbent polymer. Ours are biodegradable, non-toxic and colourfast. They’re about the size of a pinhead when dry, and can expand up to 100 times their original size after absorbing water!
How do I use water beads (Orbeez)?
All 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.
