Description

The listing, Water beads has ended.

Really awesome little invention to keep kids and adults entertained. That is a baby food jar in the picture, and the tiny dots at the bottom of the jar, when the jar is filled with water, become the big beads filling the jar. These beads are traditionally used for plants, as the water they soak up is used by the plants. They are also used for decoration in clear jars, vases or bowls. With this auction, you get 50 beads (jar not included). GIN will get double. For perspective, the amount of beads in the filled jar (not included) is 40.

No-brainer disclaimer: DO NOT EAT. Although the water that they soak up is not toxic, the beads themselves are. I can't think of why anyone would want to eat these, but please don't do it. If a baby/toddler accidentally ingests one, it IS advisable to induce vomiting (in other words, have him/her puke it out).

As always, if my word is not enough shipping confirmation, please request confirmation/certified delivery at your expense.

A minor clarification for those who have not read/do not wish to read the Listia rules: neutral feedback does NOT hurt anyone; negative feedback DOES. If you leave negative feedback without first communicating with me, then I will assume you do not wish to do business with me, and consequently block you. COMMUNICATION IS IMPORTANT.

Dumb question: Would these water the plant for you basically?

If you use them exclusively, yes. If you mix them with the dirt, I'm not sure--you may need to recharge them occasionally.
