WATER BEADS AUSTRALIA
From 30c Per Pack! Premium Quality, Biodegradable Water Beads
Non-Toxic, Biodegradable Water Beads
Water Beads are a small hydrogel that can absorb up to 99.8% of liquid. They’re versatile, educational and they look absolutely stunning. The balls can be used for home decor, 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. The main differences between water 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.

WARNING: Water beads are not a toy and must be kept out of reach of children (especially infants) at all times.
FAQ’s & General Information
What are water beads?
Water beads are a super-absorbent polymer. They’re about the size of a poppy seed when dry, and can expand up to 100 times their original size after absorbing water! Watch them in action below:

Can I order water beads in bulk?
Yes, water beads in bulk orders are available or you can select multiple 300 gram packs. There are approximately 16,500 beads per 300gram pack. If you need to purchase by the KG we can help you.
How do I use Water Beads / Jelly Beads?
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.
How many water beads do I get in a pack?
All our water beads come in 10g portions. Individual bead counts per 10g as follows (approximate only):
- 10 grams = 600 water beads
- 50 grams = 3000 water beads
- 100 grams = 6000 water beads
- 300 grams = 18000 water beads
Caution!: Some online shops suggest they have tens of thousands of beads in small packs (eg. 10 grams) which is a blatant lie. The most reliable way to purchase is by total weight.
Are Jelly Beads and water beads all the same thing?
Yes. Water beads and Jelly Beads both use a super-absorbent polymer to expand to around 100 times their original size. They are also known as water crystals, water balls, gel balls, water marbles, crystal soil and magic fairy beads.
Are we really "Australia’s cheapest water 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).
Can I get special pricing for my market stall?
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.
What are the most popular Jelly Beads colours?
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!
Do you ship everywhere in Australia?
Yes, we certainly do! We ship nation wide, and regardless of your destination, regular post is FREE, and Express Post is $11.50.
Can I buy water beads with Afterpay?
Yes indeed. You can buy regular and jumbo water beads with Afterpay. Especially useful when you need to decorate functions and events that require bulk orders.
