Water Beads Australia

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!

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.

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.

All our water beads come in 10g portions.

• 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. They are trying to scam people. The most reliable way to purchase is by total weight. 

Yes. Water beads and water gel balls both use a superabsorbent 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.
