HAMA Beads are made in Denmark.The plastic HAMA Beads are put onto a plastic peg board. Then with some ironing paper with a household iron you fuse the beads together to make a fantastic piece which can be displayed on a table or hung on a wall. You can remove the peg board and use it again with another batch of HAMA Beads. The ironing must be supervised by an adult. The MAXI HAMA Beads are for ages 3 years & up. The MIDI HAMA Beads are for ages 5 years & up.
