Hama Beads. Aqua Beads or Bindeez?

I am thinking of buying my daughter one of these sets for xmas but not sure which one is better or are they all the same? My daughter is 5.

Hi, my daughter has the Hama beads and the Aqua Beads. She says that the Hama beads are better. I think The Range and Wilkinson's do a cheaper version of them.

i would go with Hama - not had the aqua beads but by far the hama sets are better and stronger once made. my daughter is 4 1/2 and loves making them

Bindeez are a nightmare, the water gets onto them and they stick to everything and if they spray the ones not used they can no longer be used. They are also not very strong either, I have got DD some for Xmas but I doubt they'll stick together for long, I already have a pile of them on the table that have come apart. My DD is a bit clumsy tbh and they never work for long. I'd recommend Hama beads though.

You still end up hoovering the damn things up for wekks after they have been put away!!
