Hama Beads - Safari - MIDI

The HAMA MDI Beads with a diameter of 5 mm are the most popular within the HAMA range, and are perfect for all age groups. We recommend from 5 years, as children at this age have control of their own motor skills. Children and adults can have great fun with the tiny plastic beads, whether they string them or iron them. They are completely safe should they be swallowed, and through the nature of the raw materials (PE) no harm will come to the child.

Hama beads is an excellent and creative hobby for both young and old alike. The Hama Beads are positioned on the pegboards to form a picture or a complete exiting design. When complete, the design is ironed to fix it and removed from the pegboard, which may be used over and over again for more art projects. There is an amazing array of Hama Beads colors: glitter, neon, brights, pastels, glow in the dark and individual colors.

This is how the ironing system works:

Place the beads one by one on a pegboard to create a design. Then place Hama ironing paper on top of the beads before ironing them. Hama ironing paper is treated with silicone to stop the beads from melting onto the iron.

Iron the beads until they’ve fused together. Always remember to ask an adult to iron the beads for you, because the iron is very hot. Apply the iron for just a few seconds using smooth movements. Make sure the iron doesn’t touch the pegboard.

Leave your bead design to cool for a short time, then carefully remove it from the pegboard.
