These two have been obsessed with these bead things. I don't even know what they are called! They started doing them around Christmas time and Caleb got into it right away, making patterns and then making up his own creations (a candle, a tree, a rainbow, ice cream cone). Back then, Jackson would start one and give up pretty quickly. And now he can sit at the table for hours just creating. How fun to see the growth in just a few months. I have no clue what I will do with all of these things...any suggestions!?

#1. They are called Perler Beads (yeah, I know - stupid name)
#2. We have hot glued magnets on the back, stuck ornament hangers or lanyard through to make ornaments or decorations ( hang them from a backpack - they break and then you have to replace it with another one), sent them in the mail to special people, stuck them in cupcakes...
We call them "melty beads." And we have done the same crafts as Wendy...and then I slowly move them our the door to the trash! Just don't tell my kids!
I knew the name was Perler beads, but I like the name Melty beads much better. Have fun with all your creations!
