Windmill Nursery

With their bright colours and squishy feel, water beads are especially appealing to young children. But they can be really dangerous if swallowed.

As they bathe in stomach fluids, they can expand to many times their original size, posing a serious risk of blockage in a child’s bowel.

So, please don’t buy water beads for children under 5.

If older children are using water beads, use a large tub with plenty of free space so stray beads can’t escape onto the floor. And make sure all beads are safely cleared away after use to prevent little ones getting their hands on them.
