Product Information

But, there is a way you can still use your Orbeez to help with your compost. Compost needs moisture to break down properly, and Orbeez are actually great at holding onto water.

Note that Orbeez expand only to 14 mm, which makes them much safer in case they are swallowed even by smaller kids. Some other water beads can grow up to 57 mm in diameter when in water, which poses a great danger both for humans and pets if inhaled or swallowed. It is recommended to opt for larger water-beads only if your intention is to use them as flower holders for example and you are sure that they will be out of the reach of children. The toy set comes with six tools “to roll, shape, and crush” so that “kids can easily re-create similar effects they see online!” Orbeez have gained great popularity recently and I didn’t know what they were until my five-year-old and eight-year-old kids couldn’t stop nagging me about buying them Orbeez to play with in the pool. To my surprise, they also knew little about Orbeez when I asked them what they were. The #OrbeezChallenge has teens using a gel-ball gun or an airsoft gun to shoot Obreez- circular water gel beads — at friends or civilians. Orbeez are non-flammable because of their Leiden frost Effect. A Leiden frost effect, in this case, is when the outer surface of the Orbeez has water that creates vapor of steam or gas because the hot pan vaporizes it and the layer of steam makes the Orbeez bounce instead of catching fire. Are Orbeez safe for fish?But that’s not it, here are four more ways regarding what are Orbeez used for. So, What Can Orbeez Absorb? This experiment is a great way to teach kids about absorption and how different materials react to liquids. Plus, it’s just really cool to watch the beads change color. Pretend play with water beads

Orbeez are made of superabsorbent polymers, more commonly known as SAPs. These are long, spaghetti-like molecules that can absorb and retain extremely large amounts of water relative to their size. Polyacrylamide Copolymers The problem is that because water beads look like candy, young children may be tempted to swallow them. Kids also have put them in their ears, and evenWhen you add water, these little beads soak it up and expand into the squishy, colorful orbs we know and love. The water gets trapped in the molecular structure of the polymer, but it’s still there – Orbeez are up to 99% water! Once fully expanded, Orbeez can hold up to 300 times their weight in water! But don’t worry, the water is securely trapped and won’t leak out unless you pierce or break the orb.

Orbeez balls can be dissolved using a mixture of vinegar and baking soda to dissolve them layer by layer, which means you may need to repeat the process a few times. You can squeeze it, dribble it, throw it, and play with it however you want. And they’re reusable too! So when you or your kids get bored of them, you can simply mix them in with your garden soil or plop them in your flower vase. They’re non-toxic and 100% biodegradable.Made of superabsorbent polymer chemicals, water beads are also known as jelly beads, hydro orbs, crystal soil and gel beads. They are also called sensory beads, used as play tools for children with autism and other developmental conditions. When the tiny, hard plastic balls are placed in water, they can grow up to 1,500 times their size. The clear, colorful beads can then be dried out and reused. Whether you are using them for sensory play, decoration, or just for fun, Orbeez are a fascinating and enjoyable addition to any playroom or household. Why are Orbeez Called Orbeez? If you want to use Orbeez water beads as a decoration, we recommend using them in a clear vase or bowl. You can also add them to floral arrangements or use them to fill up empty spaces in your home.
