Australia’s Cheapest Water Beads
Welcome to Water Beads Australia
100% Non-Toxic, Biodegradable Polymer
Ready to raise eyebrows? Our water beads 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 water beads are also known as orbeez, crystal soil and polymer beads. Essentially they are all the same thing, a small hydrogel that can absorb up to 99.9% 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.

What are water beads?
Water beads are a superabsorbent 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!
How do I use water beads?
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.
Are "polymer balls" and "water beads" the same thing?
Yup. The water beads we know and love are commonly referred to as “polymer balls” and they are also known as “water crystals”, “water balls”, “gel balls”, “water marbles”, “crystal soil” and our personal favourite, “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).
Where to buy water beads in person?
If you want to buy water beads in person (during business hours) please contact us and we can arrange pick up details. Alternatively, if you are wondering where to buy water beads over the weekend we recommend visiting a local market (many of them stock our water beads).
Can I get special pricing for my market stall?
Yes, you can get a special discount rate if you want to buy in bulk. We’re super friendly so just drop us a line at enquiries@waterbeadsaustralia.com.au and we’ll send you our market pricing specials.
What are the most popular colours?
Based purely on sales the colours that we ship most frequently are clear, purple, turquoise/blue, red, pink and yellow. However, the most beautiful colour in our opinion is turquoise – it looks absolutely stunning!
