There are just a few more days until Christmas. Can you believe it? While I found shopping for those initial wish list items to be quite easy, the last minute gifts have proven to be a little more tricky. My kids don’t ask for much which makes me want to spoil them just a little bit more. We’ve also been shopping for cousins, friends and for the giving tree at church. The holiday hustle is no joke!
I’m also a fan of having a few extra gifts on hand in case we realize we forgot someone or if we find someone in need. For these gifts I like to try and find ideas that are universal, gifts that any kid would love. From collectibles to crafts, Moose Toys has every kid’s wish list covered – even if they didn’t know to ask for it!
In a technology-focused world, we think it’s important to find activities and toys that encourage imaginative play and creativity. My daughter has recently come to know Beados, and I love that we found something that makes her want to put her ipad down and get creative!
If you’re just now hearing about Beados, I’ll fill you in. Kids can create their favorite designs using templates and simply spray the beads with water to fuse them together. I love that there is no need for an iron or hot glue. After all, a kids’ creativity kit should be a hassle to parents or dangerous for kids. Beados are fun AND easy! The kit even comes with display stands to show off your kids’ artwork.
This is a toy that’s appropriate for both boys and girls. My daughter was very interested but my four-year-old got in on the creative fun too. We decided to make ornaments. What will your kids make with Beados?

These Beados I have seen a couple of times I think on tv. They are great for the kids because their creativity comes out and they are easy to use. I love you just add water to connect the beads. This would make a great gift idea for my little nieces and nephews. Thanks for sharing this awesome creativity toy.
