Australia’s Cheapest Water Beads

Water beads (Orbeez) are a super-absorbent polymer, and 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!

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.

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