Random warning about these but our friends' 2 year old did ingest a few of these while dehydrated and needed multiple surgeries and weeks at the pediatrics ICU after they expanded in his GI tract. We threw ours away even though our kids are older. Just keep em out of reach when they're dehydrated and you're probably ok but we won't buy em again just in case.
A 1 year old died last week from eating one of these beads.

They are not safe for toddlers or small children

They are this cheap because they are going to be relabeled for older ages imo

plus please think of the garbage patch
What the heck are these?

What is the diff between this 1500 dehydrated for 8.99 and other 50,000 beads for 8.99 from another seller?

Paying for the brand name. I've always bought generic and they're exactly the same, or at least good enough

Tiny colored dots that get big and squishy when you soak them in water for a few hours. Small kids love them for sensory play, but they're great for fine motor skills too. We had a toddler birthday party on Tuesday morning and I dumped 150,000 orbeez into a kiddie pool and it was a freaking hit with everyone. Even the big kids came and hopped in after school and they played for hours. That being said, that was two bags of orbeez that I spent maybe $12 on when there was a bulk sale. This kit is nice for a gift.

Do these have to be disposed of in the ocean or can they go in the regular trash?

Card games and puzzles are not made of plastic or coated in plastic?

Actually with a little googling, orbeez are biogradeable. It may take a little while though, but it doesn't hurt the environment.

You can throw them in the trash or you can put them in your plants.

I looked into this because my kids were squishing these outside and they were getting in the lawn and it made me wonder what the environmental impact is. They are listed as biodegradable, but the time scale over which they biodegrade is extremely long. I think it's pretty optimistic to label them as biodegradable.

I think the risk to small children is interesting. I was unable to find the report of a child dying due to these but I did see a few reports about Orbeez blocking the intestines of a child.

I think the most important thing to limit the danger they represent is to make sure you buy the small ones. The larger ones are clearly higher risk for causing intestinal obstruction
