I know that I can’t be the first person to post about this, but it’s new to me so I’m going with it. 🙂 I helped make a bunch of rose centerpieces (they were gorgeous by the way) for my college sorority’s formal recruitment a few weeks ago and we had a ton of these water beads left. I knew that Kate would love them so I snagged a ziplock of the extras before they were thrown away.
Kate thought that they were just about the coolest things ever. I’m not really sure how to describe them… They’re sort of squishy, but firm at the same time. Almost like tapioca but cooler.
None of us could stop playing with them. 🙂
Fair warning, after about a week and a half they started to attract fruit flies so they had to go. Next time, maybe we’ll keep them in the fridge or something. And trust me, there will be a next time because these are awesome.
