For a long time our tub of fusible beads sat in a cupboard unused and unloved, and then out of the blue one day my kids decided to give them a go and they have been obsessed with these little colourful beads every since! Now the kids regularly get out the Perler beads to create something, and even spend time sorting them into colours and searching the internet for new ideas.

Perler beads (you might also know them as Hama beads, or fusible beads) are a great craft activity for kids aged around 6 and all the way up to adults (there are bigger fusible bead options for little hands too). It’s a great activity if you have multi age groups and the perfect tween craft option.
