Not requiring any glue or adhesive to work, the Aquabeads Frozen Playset enables children to create bead art using just a handful of simple tools. Starting with the beads themselves, they are suctioned up by kids with the [included pen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pen-creator-studio) to prevent them from flying all over the place. Once placed into the chosen design and sprayed with water, the beads will stick together and form a permanent keepsake.

Although the Aquabeads Frozen Playset is themed after the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kidslife) movie, the set gives children everything they need to continue playing over and over. Accessing the Aquabeads website allows access to a bevy of different bead art designs to follow. The kit can also be used without a stencil to enhance the creative interaction for children as young as three.
