As you can see, within 45 minutes, the beads started to pop from the top and roll all over!
40 minutes after adding water.
Tactile sensory stimulation involves the sensation of touch and texture. Exposing children to sensory play helps them develop and refine the use of their senses. These hydro gel beads stimulate both tactile and visual senses, though predominantly stimulating the sense of touch and texture by having a child squish, hold, squeeze, and feel the gel beads while sending multiple signals to the brain and increasing neuroplasticity. Most importantly, these water beads a lot of fun!
