Aquabeads Star Friends Set Water Bead Craft Refill — 600+ Beads, 21 Colors, Star Shapes

Aquabeads Star Friends Set is a water-activated bead refill kit that supplies over 600 solid, jewel and star beads plus templates so kids can build colorful animal designs without heat or glue.

Designed as an add-on to the Aquabeads universe, the Star Friends Theme Refill Set gives young crafters a fresh palette of 21 vivid colors and a mix of bead shapes to expand their design library. The included templates and unique star-shaped beads make it easy to add texture and dimension to llamas, owls, flamingos and other charming characters. Aquabeads uses only a simple water fusion method, making this kit a tidy, low-mess option for supervised children aged 4 and up.

How do I assemble designs with the Star Friends Set?

Create bead art by placing beads on a template and spritzing water to fuse them into a solid piece. No ironing, baking, or adhesives are required—just steady hands, the supplied templates, and a small amount of water to join beads together.

• Follow the included templates or freehand arrange beads for custom shapes.
• Place beads on the tray grid, matching colors to the template markers.
• Sparingly spray water to activate the bead surfaces; allow to dry fully.
• Lift finished pieces gently after drying to reveal a fused design.

What comes in the box and what can I make?

The refill set contains over 600 beads in solid, jewel and star shapes across 21 colors, plus printed templates for animal motifs. These components let kids craft multiple small projects or mix with previous Aquabeads kits to build larger scenes.

• 600+ beads: solid, jewel and star-shaped for added texture.
• Printed templates showing llamas, owls, flamingos and friend designs.
• Color variety that supports layered and sparkly effects.
• Compatible with earlier Aquabeads trays and tools for extended play.

Is this safe and what age is it suitable for?

Aquabeads Star Friends is intended for children aged 4 and older; adult supervision is recommended during setup and use. The product includes small parts, so it is not safe for children under age 3 due to choking risk.

• Recommended age: 4+ for fine-motor skill development and safe play.
• Contains small beads—choking hazard for very young children.
• No heat or glue required, reducing burn and sticky-mess risks.
• Supervise water spraying and bead handling for best results.

Who is this for: The Aquabeads Star Friends Set is ideal for kids who enjoy hands-on arts and crafts, parents looking for low-mess creative activities, and educators seeking a compact classroom project. It also suits collectors and repeat Aquabeads makers who want new shapes and colors to refresh their designs. With its easy water-activation method and playful animal templates, the set supports creativity, color recognition, and fine motor practice while fitting neatly into existing Aquabeads toolkits.
