Build with Beads

Build with Beads: Create Colourful Patterns with a Transparent Bead Board! Inspire creativity and strengthen essential early skills with Build with Beads—a vibrant, hands-on activity where children use beads to recreate or invent colourful patterns. Simply place a transparent bead board on top of or next to an image card, then add beads to match the design or build your own.

As children carefully select and place each bead, they engage in a fun, focused activity that supports hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and creative thinking. With a wide variety of bright, colourful beads, this activity is perfect for encouraging independent exploration or guided learning.

Ideal for classrooms, therapy sessions, or at-home play, Build with Beads combines artistic expression with early learning in a way that’s both educational and entertaining. Ages 3yrs+.
