Creatistics Metallic Pony Beads - Pack of 1000 are a vibrant and reflective crafting essential, designed to inspire creativity while supporting developmental learning in the classroom or at home. These 7mm durable plastic beads come in 4 assorted metallic colours, adding a brilliant shine and eye-catching finish to any handmade project.

Children will love using these bright, jewel-like beads to create necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or to embellish items such as papier-mâché models, greeting cards, or ornaments. These versatile beads are perfect for threading activities, encouraging the development of fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and concentration as children carefully guide each bead onto a string, ribbon, or wire.

In addition to fostering creativity, these beads also support early maths learning by offering opportunities to practise patterning, sequencing, colour sorting, and even basic counting.
