The discovery of poisonous "beads" in a highly advertised and popular new toy being sold in Australia, until recently, alarmed people with children of every age!

I can hear you saying, "No More Beads In This House!"

But wait a moment, not so fast... normal beads are NOT poisonous! Here in Australia, there are top quality, safe and fun bead kits created and manufactured for children of all ages and abilities.

The beads in these kids bead kits have holes in them for threading onto elastic, wire or cords. The carefully created bead patterns are made to be very easy to follow with you and your child in mind, although your younger child will definitely need your help with reading and understanding. An incidental chance for quality time with your child.

There are kid's bead kits made using wire to create a crocodile, a spider, a swan, clowns, angels, fairies and scorpions, and also christmas decorations... the list goes on. Other kids bead kits include nylon thread, and some include needle and thread for the dexterous older child who is ready for that challenge.

Bead making can be part of children's party themes, being used as kids party activities, and or the bead kits can be popped into kids party bags. They can also be stocking fillers, or be christmas beading tree decorations, something special for the child. There are several easy bead ornaments in the Christmas decorations category.

Bead kits are designed for boys as well as girls, teenagers, and also for the 3 - 4 year old. Plenty of fascinating projects for those busy fingers and inquisitive minds!

So when you are next looking for a small, quality and interesting kids craft idea, remember not to put all "beads" in one "poisonous" basket.

Kids bead kits are safe. They give hours of fun. Your children will not only be busy, but safe and happy, too.
