5 Things to Know Before Buying the Orbeez Sensory Spa Kit

Plan ahead The Orbeez need several hours to expand in water, so this kit is useless for last-minute boredom fixes.

Use a contained space Set up the kit in a bin or tray with high sides to keep the beads from rolling everywhere.

Accept floor damage Tiny gel beads will migrate into every corner of the room, and your floor will never fully recover.

Kids play for a long time Once the beads are ready, children will sit and play with them for an impressively long stretch.

Know what you’re signing up for This toy works well only if you plan ahead, contain the mess, and don’t mind cleanup.
