Our Take
A substantial starter-to-intermediate Hama Midi bead kit containing 10,000 plastic fusible beads across multiple colours, plus the pegboards needed to arrange them before ironing. Aimed primarily at children aged five and up, though adults enjoy it too. It sits in the mid-range of Hama's own product line, offering genuine value over buying beads and boards separately.
Key Features
Contains 10,000 Midi-size beads (5mm diameter), Hama's most popular size for younger children
Includes multiple pegboards in different shapes (typically square and round, though exact board count varies by edition)
Beads are sorted into multiple colours within the box, usually 20–30 shades
Compatible with the full Hama Midi range, so additional peg boards and bead top-ups slot straight in
Beads are fused permanently using a household iron with ironing paper (paper not always included — worth checking)
Packaging doubles as a storage box with a lid to keep beads organised between sessions
Our Verdict
A solid buy for any household where a child is already interested in Hama beads or is likely to take to craft activities. The sheer bead count offers real longevity. Those wanting highly specific colour palettes or intricate boards should supplement with additional purchases; casual crafters will find this more than sufficient.
