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 was a bit nervous due to all the reviews that said the beads arrived as a mixed up mess, but because this set had multiple shades of brown and some other colors I was looking for (plus it was at a great price) I decided to go for it. I received them today and am very happy to say they were all divided out and packaged well! Nothing was out of place. My container was not cracked or broken at all. I'm very excited to have these for some upcoming craft projects with my kids!

I knew the warehouse deal would mean a mix of beads, but I was like a starving kid in a candy store when these arrived in a bag and a mostly intact case! The lid is only cracked in one place, everything else was ok. No loose beads in the box.
I started sorting them about an hour ago, and ten minutes later, my 3year old wanted to join in- he proceeded to sort them perfectly (he's been that way since birth- everything MUST be just as it should... or the whole world collapses). As we worked, we discussed what the color names were and counted them as we went. FREE HOMESCHOOL LESSON-YAY!!
Thirty minutes in, my 7 yr old joined in- and we flew through the rest. None were broken (there were some random plastic chips in with the mix). While we all worked, we discussed all the things we could make with these things, and how we thought they were made (yet another homeschool opportunity- they loved watching Mister Rogers tour the crayola factory last week on Amazon Prime).

In all, we got a great deal and a good hour of imagination and eye-hand coordination practice :). Thanks Amazon!

I'm still giving it 4 stars even though it looks like someone dashed it into the box. Beads were everywhere. It's no big deal to meal though because I read the reviews. I expected it to be a mess when I opened the box so I just got a huge ziploc bag to put all the beads in. Now I have to fish through a bunch of other colors when I only need 2 or 3 but they're still getting the job done as I need. I don't think I'll need more beads as these were quite a lot. If I do ever need more though, I'd order from here again.

bought for my daughter to make bracelets and necklaces and it does the job
