Customers Say

Customers appreciate these colorful, durable pop beads for helping toddlers develop fine motor skills through building chains and shapes. While many children enjoy dumping and collecting the beads, several parents report they may be too difficult for young toddlers to connect despite the 18-month age recommendation. Best suited for children 2-4 years old with some adult assistance. Easy to clean with large holes that allow water to flow through, making them practical for childcare settings.

Pop Beads

The pop beads are very good quality. I was expecting them to be a softer plastic but they are hard and should hold up better. My grandson enjoys playing with them and they are easy to pop together.

The best pop beads out there.

I got these for the youngest of my daycare kids and the 2, 3 and 4 year olds like them too! They pop together easily which is perfect for the toddlers. They kids can create all kinds of interesting shapes with these as you can make more than just a string of beads with them.

Disappointment with product

As a preschool teacher for over 20 years and now a grandma I am very disappointed with this product. I've had similar products for years but these beads are difficult to put together and then they do not stay together. Even when I do them myself, they just fall apart. I should return them.

Good and bad

They are difficult to pop together and take apart. Toddlers love for me to pop them together and we pull them apart together. The kids that have the strength to do it are older and get bored of them

A child may learn how to grip, colors and designs

I would preferred if it was made of rubber. A child has more interested with rubber toys than hard plastic. Don't take me wrong, it is a great product.

Adults Love Them

Bought this for my nephew. He loved dumping the pop beads out of the container and replacing them! A bit too difficult for him right now. When his father tried it out to see how difficult it is to put together, he loved it. As a disclaimer, I am a rewards member and do earn points for reviews.

Fun Toy

Bought this for my 18 month old granddaughter. I babysit her every Tuesday. She loves these pop-its! Every time she’s here it’s the first toy she drags out. At first it was a bit difficult for her to put them together, but she figured it out pretty quick. She also loves to dump them all out and put them back in the bucket one by one. I’m always looking for toys we can play with together, and these fit the bill! They are bright and sturdy, well made.

Not too happy with this toy, too hard for my 2 year old to do! The beads don’t pop together as easily as I had hoped. Says recommended for 18 months and older but my 2 year old can’t pop them together at all.
