Melty Beads

Take a bunch of plastic beads and put them (artfully, of course) onto a pegboard.

Get a grown-up to iron them together and - presto! Off pops a permanent piece of art. We love this classic activity - but all we could find on the market were tiny frustration-sized beads packaged with tiny pegboards.

A kid-pleaser like this deserves something better. "Melty Beads" for instance. Packaged with 600 big beads that are friendly to little fingers, this book comes with a sturdy plastic pegboard and plenty of inspirationa artwork.

It's a complete, ready-to-peg package.
