My sil has asked for me to buy her 4yr old hama beads.

I’m not keen as they’re not the most environmentally friendly, lots of bits if plastic bound to be mostly hoovered up.

But my dd has been bought them in the past and they’re just shit and take a lot of adult input. I have explained this to her, plus her 4yr old is not one to sit still and do a craft.

Anyway, this thread’s kind of me asking for recomendations of young child friendly hama bead sets disguised in an aibu to not want to buy what she’s asked for.

We got loads of use out of Hama beads for year, but 4 is too young.
Do NOT buy aqua beads. They are rubbish.

What about some wooden stringing beads instead. We got loads of play out of Melissa and Doug sets. Probably more suitable?
