Hama beads or Bindeez?

[northender]

That's it really. Have no experience of either of them but want to buy a kit of some sort for my 6yo ds for Christmas. From what I've seen so far hama beads look better value which is an issue for me.

I haven't tried any other beads but Hama. Mine all love them. Unfortunatly i killed the iron so no Hama beading here for a while!

Be ready for loads of little beads on the floor too. That bit drives me mad.

That's good enough for me! I'd been erring towards hama so will buy the outer space set for him. We're at my mum's on Christmas day so she can suffer clearing up the dropped beads!

2 of my DD's love the hama beads (and woolies own ) theres a wider range of board available for them too.
Though like aimsmum my DD's got frustrated waiting for me to iron them too...

HANDY TIP

I also found by buying a craft box (can get so cheep now) or even an empty nail/screw diy type box helps keep the bead spillage under control and means that each colour has its own place so DC can go to each 'set' when they come to use that particular colour
