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. This software allows all children to take their time with their Perler Beads designs, try out different designs, colors, and shapes, and print their design, which gets them ready to create the actual project with Perler Beads.

Beyond creating and printing patterns, though, the software introduces colors, color names, shapes, color coordination, computer operations (open, save, print) and sharing. And it's lots of fun for adults, too!

The software comes with a full User's Guide, but anyone can start using the software right away without reading any instructions. It's truly an easy, fun, and educational software program. Try it today!
