Hama 10.8922 Maxi Car Bead Kit, Multicolour

Product Information

In Hama Universe, a version of the free and limitless game awaits for your child with empty pegplates and three challenging theme islands where he or she can make the classic Hama patterns. If you are looking to buy a pegboard or two I'd recommend starting with a square, hexagonal and circular board as these will allow you to create a wide range of designs. The pegboards can be used over and over again, as long as you are careful not to over iron your projects (see more ironing tips for Hama beads below) Hama Universe welcomes to many hours of entertainment in a fun and developing framework where your child can immerse itself in a constructive and entertaining play.

In addition to square pegboards, you’ll see round and hexagon pegboards. These are fun to have in your arsenal if you plan to do a lot of perler-ing. Hama Maxi Beads are the biggest size beads found in the Hama bead series and measure 10 mm in diameter. Hama Maxi Beads can be used by children aged 3 years and over. Playing with beads is a fun sedentary indoor activity that you can do all year. When the child is playing with beads, it practices recognizing colors and fine motor control. You can learn the child about the colors and their many shades. The child also learns to grab and hold on small objects like the small beads, and finally, the child also understands and learns about shapes. Animals, plants, and cars can be made of big beads. The Hama beads can be ironed and sewn on things as decoration. Then just lay a sheet of ironing or baking paper over the beads and press lightly with an iron to fuse the beads together. I've suggested below a few Hama bead products below that are great for beginners, and you might also want to take a look at my Hama bead gift guide for some more Hama bead inspiration.

Hama Midi Beads is a tube of about 5 mm in diameter and is the most famous size bead from the Hama bead series. It is recommended for children aged 5 years and over. The midi bead can be ironed and sewn on things. You can put them on a string and make great Hama beads bracelet. Hama Midi is the most versatile bead, as you can make all the patterns and motifs you want. Motifs like fun animals, great fairies, cool cars, lovely princesses and everything else you can imagine. The Hama Midi Bead is the most used bead in institutions and schools. Hama Midi allows you to get more color shades and details in your characters. Together with your children you can play with beads and create beautiful shapes for decorations or presents. If you use the Hama Beads in a classic way by mounting the beads on a bead pegboard, the next step is to iron the beads to complete the figure. When you iron the beads, they melt into one solid figure. When you used this method, you can reuse the pegboard, and use it for new patterns, animals, plants or other figures. Cars are a beloved theme for many children and adults alike, and creating your own Cars-themed Hama bead project is a fun and rewarding way to bring your love of cars to life. It will now be possible to play with beads in the rear seat of the car or in surroundings far away from the analogue beads of the play room.

However an exception is the Picture Beads sold by Hobbycraft. I've used lots of these Hama style beads and found that they are nearly as good as branded Hama beads. Hobbycraft sell their beads in mixed bags of related colours, like blues and greens, and they are much cheaper, especially if you catch them on special offer. They are exactly the same size as branded Hama beads and can be used interchangeably with your Hama beads and Hama branded pegboards.A few of these patterns are larger than a 29 x 29 pegboard, so you’ll either need a extra large pegboard(49 x 69 tall) or to put multiple square peg boards together to form a larger “canvas.”
