My five year old (Ahhh! Almost six year old) is passionate about many things. She loves music and dance, science and nature, cooking and baking (and eating), and pretending she has her own YouTube channel so she can do “tutorials” and vlogs!
Recently, she combined her love of vlogging and her love of Little Live Pets and Beados!
What are Beados?
My little girl loves getting her craft on. Give her some crafts to do and she’s the happiest kid on the planet. I’m running out of places to display her creations!
When we were introduced to Beados, Little One was super excited. Beados allows kids to create designs from beads. The beads magically join with water. It’s pretty cool! You just make, spray, dry and display!
Little One received the Beados Quick Dry Station and a Themed Refill Pack.
It was an exercise in control and manual dexterity for her, which was great. We can all use practice with fine motor skills, right? First, Little One chose her template, then counted out all the beads for each colour she needed. Then she placed the beads according to the design on the template. I think the thing she enjoyed most was spraying the Beados with the water sprayer! The most difficult part for her was waiting for the Beados to try (which really didn’t take much time at all).
The end result was an adorable Beados creation and a kid who was grinning from ear to ear because she was able to do this craft all on her own!
In love with Little Live Pets!
Little One loves animals. On our farm, we have cattle, a dog, a cat, bunnies and chickens. She was really excited to receive her very own Little Live Pet and bird cage. “Oh, Mom! I’ve always wanted my own pet bird!” She has, but we haven’t given into a budgie yet. She also wants to get a fish tank complete with fish! Considering we have all our farm animals already, Little Live Pets seem like a good compromise!
Little One immediately figured out how to make her bird sing and repeat her phrases. It’s actually pretty cute.
Little One was excited to get her bird to respond to touch and get it to sing, chirp and tweet just for her.
If you’ve got a birthday party coming up or are thinking of ideas for the upcoming holidays, Beados and Little Live Pets are great ideas. Christmas is just shy of twelve weeks from now…but, who’s counting, right?

My daughter would love both – the Beados because she loves to create things (and I know she would love the use of water – what kid doesn’t love water?!), and the Little Live Pet because our cat died last winter and I haven’t been able to bring myself to get another pet yet so she would love a virtual pet in the meantime! I think her imagination is such that she would really think the bird is a real pet!
I think Beados will be most loved. Creativity works wonders.
