Craft Time : Tuesday

 Today its tiny Plastic Perler beads : 


Despite the buzzy attention Perler beads have gained from the pixel artist faction, Ms. Derr stresses that kids remain the core users of Perler beads, with Perler products found in the kids’ crafts aisle of major mass market retailers. Millennial parents who first crafted with Perler beads as kids are now introducing them to their own children, and the parenting website Romper recently included Perler beads in a list of top rainy day activities for kids.

“Creating with Perler beads gets kids away from screens and forces them to focus on making something,” Ms. Derr explained. “They can practice self-expression through bead art at a very young age, but they don’t have to stop doing it just because they’ve gotten older. It’s the type of creative activity that adapts to their age and talent level through adulthood.”

Perler beads were first introduced in 1981 in Cloverdale, CA. Perler products, ranging from beads to pegboards, activity kits, tools and more, are sold on Perler.com and in stores nationwide.
