    Yes! Orbeez or water beads can be a perfect addition to a foot bath. Simply soak your feet in a large basin full of Orbeez, or add a few beads to your bath water for some sensory fun.

    Make sure you use warm water to grow your Orbeez, as cold or room temperature water can slow down the growing process.

    Make sure your container or bowl is large enough to hold the water you'll need and the fully grown Orbeez. It's always best to use a bigger bowl rather than a smaller one.

    Orbeez come in all types of colors, including clear. If you have clear water beads and want to make them colorful, simply add a few drops of food coloring to the water while they grow.

    If someone eats 2-3 Orbeez, the balls will pass through their digestive system easily, since they're non-toxic and won't stick together. If someone eats a substantial number of Orbeez, they should seek immediate medical attention to prevent illness.

    Sadly, once an Orbeez ball is broken, you won't be able to grow or shrink it since it won't hold any water. To get rid of it, you can throw the broken ball away in the garbage. Never put a broken Orbeez ball in a drain.

    You can shrink your Orbeez by placing them in an open container for 24-48 hours. To speed up the process, put them in direct sunlight and spread them out on a paper towel so they release their moisture.
  • Question
    How many Orbeez would it take to fill a bathtub?

    The amount of Orbeez you'll need will depend on the size of the bathtub. Most people use anywhere from 30,000-100,000 Orbeez. Before you fill the tub with water and pour in the Orbeez, make sure the drain is completely closed and sealed to prevent the Orbeez from falling into it.
  • Question
    Can you put Orbeez in slime?

    You can mix Orbeez into slime by making the Orbeez and the slime separately. When you're ready to put the two together, place the slime in a large bowl and pour a few Orbeez on top of the slime. Then, fold the slime over the Orbeez a few times to mix them together. Keep adding Orbeez to the slime until you have the mixture that you want!

    They will shrink if you put the Orbeez on a towel and put it under sunlight for 24 - 48 hours.
