Perler Beads are a creative learning tool. The beads are made with a unique formula that allows them to fuse when heated with an iron.
Perler Beads help to develop the hand and eye coordination, colour and shape recognition, fine motor skills and most all the imagination!!
Perler Beads are a great activity for children with special needs, individuals with developmental disabilities and the elderly.
