I hate to blame the product, it's probably just the packers but it arrived broken twice with beads EVERYWHERE. Also once you open it there is no "snap" to close it so they would fall out anyway. Need a new concept for the box.

I bought this bead kit to make key chains and thought this would be a good choice because there is a good assortment of colors to work with for the projects. I was not disappointed. The beads are well made and the kit I chose has amazing vibrant colors. My 4 ½ year old niece saw what I made, and she wanted to make something. I helped her make stretchy bracelets and a couple necklaces, and she loved it! These beads were a hit with a lot of different ages. The range of color combinations are the best I've seen for what I need. I can make critters or people with the colors in this bead box. All beads in my kit were uniform, and there were no duds. I was so pleased, I bought another kit so I could have more beads.

I ordered three different sets of these beads, all arrived with the lid taped in place, unlike some of the previous reviews. There was one corner of one box that appears cracked but otherwise all is in great condition. Beads are great for my kids projects. However, these boxes do not snap or lock in place, so I think that I'll transfer them to a tackle/craft box just to keep them more secure. I'd hate to pick up 3 entire boxes of these beads. Overall even with the cheap case it's still a better value, more beads for less money, than at my local Walmart.

Bead colors are gorgeous!

they are pretty but they break. what i mean by this, they will fall out your kid head broken. a few beads have broken in half after a few days of my daughter wearing them, so we have been picking up broken beads around the house and my daughter is not doing anything to them, they just break. not sure what that is about.
