Have you tried playing with water beads yet? They are SO fun! You can buy these almost anywhere now (Michaels, Walmart, Oriental Trading).
They come in a small package and you put them in water to watch them grow. You control the size by how much water you put in. They are slimy, they bounce, and they are so fun to scoop and pour.
I put them outside in the sand table because they were getting away from us in the house.
Such a fun sensory experience for all ages!

I have tried to find these in bulk but at a good price. Any recommendations on where to buy at the best price?

Sara,I haven't found a bulk price/deal on them yet. I bought mine from Oriental Trading for $2/pack and I think they are about the same price at other craft stores.

Can these be reused? I read that someone put them in her plants but when they dried out they didn't rehydrate.

I saw these several times and went to purchase at Walmart until I read the back. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I chose to opt out of buying them for my kiddies. There is a WARNING label on the back the states something about reproductive disorders,etc. I want to have another baby and didn't want to take any chances. Just a little FYI!
