Perler Beads Craft Activity Kit with Portable Storage Case for Creative Fun

Custeemade: Bought this Perler bead kits for niece, and let me share her experience, followed by a breakdown of pros and cons:

Pros:

- The storage compartments, initially challenging to open, become easy once you figure out the tabs' push-and-pull technique. Kids can manage them independently.
- The kids enjoy the flexibility to work on portions of a project, storing it safely without worrying about messing up the picture.
- The separately sold books with patterns are a hit, especially the 3D patterns. Kids can place pictures under the transparent pegboard.
- Portable and travel-friendly – the projects can be stored away and even worked on in the car or at Grandma's house.
- The kit's only downside is its compatibility with square peg boards, excluding additional shapes. We improvised by using thick cardboard for the non-square peg boards.

Cons:

- Limited compatibility – the kit caters only to square peg boards, excluding additional shaped peg boards. An extra step with cardboard is needed for non-square shapes.
- The lids on the side containers can be overly tight, which, while preventing spills, may be challenging for younger kids to...

jesus mis diaz: Es muy bueno, pero la verdad por el precio de +-$600, no creo que lo valga, honestamente yo lo conseguí en $450 por el hotsale, solo así lo considero una buena inversión.

Kai: I ordered this and what came was the older, green one. The lids are, as mentioned by many, somewhat difficult to open but I have managed without spilling. I accidentally dropped it off my chair at one point and everything stayed closed tight; no beads were lost so that is good. My one complaint, and it’s kind of a big one, frankly, is that it doesn’t fit the pattern books or even a part of the pattern papers that come in the buckets. They should fold the bucket patterns so they can be fit into the space in this case. Outside of photocopying and cutting the paper down, or bead counting, there is no easy way to use this with Perler’s own patterns.

Mason Landaverde: It's awesome! I just wish it was big enough to fit larger peg boards! But I LOVE IT!

Fleur de Jardine: I have bought 4 of these so far. I keep them at my house for my grandchildren and they love to come over and craft with these Perler Bead 'n Carry. They each have their own . I am now ordering another one for a fifth grandchild as the older ones have not out grown theirs.
One of the comments brought attention to the fact that the little storage cubbies were difficult to open. For small hands that is the case but if a thumb is placed behind the joint and the middle or forefinger pushes the opening flap towards the thumb they open quite easily. Practice a bit with an empty cubby.
Obviously, I reccomend this product.

Amazon Customer: Is a good introductory kit, keeps project organised, good quality and is enjoyed by my daughter. would be improved with a larger peg bord surface, the color black being included, and a pair of tweezers, but we are happy with this product and are ordering more supplys to go with it.

Pun: This was a great idea for my son, he recently got into perler bead projects. When he is in the middle of a project he can close the lid on this and everything stays in place! Just make sure to teach the younger kids to snap the lids shut tightly, we had a couple spills because my son didn't push on the lid hard enough, the product is good I would deferentially get one as a gift or buy it again. He loves it and it makes it easy to take to his grandmothers house and back home.

K. Chavez: I create & sell Perler Bead creations, and this little carrier is a godsend!

The containers on the side to hold beads, shut incredibly tight (almost too tight to open). Usually this would be annoying, but when it comes to potentially dropping this thing, i know those lids aren't all going to fly open.

The tray in the center is great. It holds the standard square size pegboard and has space underneath to store your tweezers & parchment paper. The pegboard fits snug & when the lid is shut, it keeps any project your currently working on, securely in place (thank you!!). The only bummer about it is that the lid comes off when you open it. But I guess that's a good thing. If it were attached so that it stayed open while you worked, it could potentially fall down and slam onto your pegboard.

The desk itself is very lightweight.

If your an avid beader like myself, this item is worth the buy 10x over. If your kids just enjoy occasional beading, again, so worth it.

Diane: My 4 year old and 6 year old received these perler bead kits for Christmas along with additional beads and template books. My six year old wanted to do hers immediately.

I have to admit, the storage compartments were a little hard to open at first, but once you figure out how to do it, it is easy. My kids can even open them up by themselves now for the most part. They only ask me to open one compartment every once in a while. You need to push the tabs over, then pull up. Once you figure that out, it is pretty easy to open. It's not too easy though that you are afraid the compartment will open by itself and spill all of the beads all over the place.

My kids love the fact they can do only a portion of the project and then put it away for later without having to worry about the picture messing up.

They love the books that were sold separately (Perler Beads 110 Patterns). They have several editions which have 3D patterns included. My daughter has completed an unicorn and elephant that stands up on their own. My son has completed a car that stands on its own. The pictures can be placed under the peg board which is transparent.

The kids can put the project...
