Information
Our SmartKidsPlanet initiative began in 2017 when 3 geeky and dedicated parents saw a gap in the children’s toys and games market. An opportunity was spotted while we struggled to find toys and games for our kids which enriched their minds and guided them toward science, art, math and construction. The trio then knew that their paths were set, establishing an online shop with a comprehensive range of intelligent toys for babies, children and young teenagers.
With offices based in California, our SmartKidsPlanet team enjoys a daily growth in our presence within the children’s educational toys market. We love our new place in life, and we love helping young minds with their growth and skill development, all while having as much fun as possible.
We love it. I tested my 7 year-old's interest in paper beads by giving her an old knitting needle to use. She loved it, but got very frustrated trying to keep the tension on the paper. Enter this bead winder, and she is so happy with the results! It took about 4 beads for her to get the knack of starting them off. We didn't use the glue or dabber included, just a glue stick so there wouldn't be as much residue. She can take off the bead and glue it, or leave it in the winder so it doesn't unravel. I will be buying these for birthday gifts for her friends.
Bought this for my Granddaughter for Christmas & she is still busy here in the middle of February crafting away making jewelry.
She absolutely loves this kit!! Its endless amounts of fun for her __
This may have been designed for children, but I'm having a great time using it to make professional-looking beads. It only makes the one size, but I like that size. Adults with bead-making experience should have no trouble making nice beads with this tool. I put the tool on a water bottle, hold between my knees, use both hands for smooth rolling and use my own supplies to glue, harden and glaze. When I want to make different size/type beads, I use different tools. But this is one of the best values in jewelry making tools I've seen.
My grandma loves these so much that shes had me buy a bunch more to send to her friends in Colombia. She doesnt have the greatest control over her hands anymore but has always loved making paper beads and jewelry. This is the solution for her. Im so glad shes able to do one of her favorite things again. Its cheap but being able to give my grandma the ability to perform one of her favorite activities again is absolutely priceless.
I'm trying to recycle a couple huge stacks of magazines into small beads and got to playing with this today. I made a palmful of beads in the time it's been taking to make one. I was nervous the stringing hole might be too small, and while you aren't stringing these beads on any sort of yarn, they'll fit on elastic string, heavy thread, or fifty-pound fishing line, even split embroidery thread. Super-intuitive; this would make an excellent after-school or school-holiday activity!
