Water beads
is fun. We recommend that you only play with it when the children no longer put
anything uncontrollably in their mouth. The balls are made of polymers, also
known as superabsorbents . This is actually what is in baby diapers and absorbs
moisture - often in a smaller granule form and combined with additional layers.
They are said to be biodegradable and harmless, but I would still make sure
that no one eats them.
And
something else about the sustainability of the water pearls Waterbeads

Superabsorbents
are biodegradable and not plastic waste. We used it for about 5 months. Yes, we
threw them away. But there is a better solution: you can "bury" them
in a larger flowerpot with a decent goodbye. According to this link here you
can mix them with normal flower potting so that we loosen up the existing soil
and continue to function as a water reservoir.
