And the most used item this easter is ...

Hamma Beads. They have loved them. I have had to hide them today though as one mindee aged 6 would happily sit at the table all day and make things with them. Gonna have to stock up on more for next week

[Tink]

I know exactly what you mean, my 6 year old mindee loves them, and is making a bear as we speak

[BucksCM]

Mine love them too and can make them for England...but then what to do with them?
My dd was clearing room last week and came down with a box of about 30 of them that she's made over the years(she's 11) saying that she didn't want them any more!
Found that one of my mindees that I call my little firecracker will sit for AGES when I've got the hama beads out

I love hama beads.

My own children love them but most of my mindees wont sit for that long to do one specific thing

[Rubybubbles]

ohh I didnt even think of using them for my younger mindies but 1 of them their focus has been hand eye co-or thank you

[loocyloo]

hama beads also really good to thread on scoobidoo plastic thread things!

I tried these but I didn't find them as good as the Hama ones.

My children are into bendaroos ATM.
