Perler Beads are a creative learning tool, full of fun for children. The beads are made with a unique formula that allows them to "fuse" when heated with an ordinary iron. Children simply place the beads on special re-usable pegboards. With adult supervision and an iron, the beads are fused into the created shape. Perler Beads activities help develop hand/eye co-ordination, color and shape recognition, fine motor skills, and imagination. And best of all they will keep children creatively occupied for hours!

Creating designs of any kind is difficult for many children....
