Summer Fun #3 - Water beads

This was a fun and super simple activity to do. I ordered a bag of these little balls called Jelly Beadz. This is what came:

I added 3 teaspoons of them to a big container filled with about 4 quarts of water. They start out a little smaller than the size of a peppercorn, I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but they soak up the water and get big.

After about an hour they were already getting pretty big and looked like this. I'd compare them to the size of plump peas at this point. 

And after a full night of soaking in water...They are about the size of marble and they are super fun, bouncy and a great sensory play activity.
