How many sizes of Hama Beads are available?

Hama beads are some of the most popular creative toys and crafts supplies that the whole family can enjoy. The Hama beads have been on the market for many decades, and new sizes have continuously been designed to open up for a wider range of uses.

Even the youngest children can help create cute bead patterns and designs when using beads of a larger size.

Here, you will get an overview of the many sizes that Hama beads are available in.

Beads named after size

Hama designs their popular beads in 3 different sizes. They are not named after circumference or diameter, but instead, they are categorised as "maxi" and "mini".

You will find the following product versions of Hama:

• Hama Mini
• Hama Midi
• Hama Maxi

For the youngest children, the Maxi version would be the best choice. The Maxi beads measure 10mm in diameter. The large size of the beads is a great help for children whose fine motor skills have not fully developed yet. It makes it easier to control the beads, so the children get to unfold their creativity with as much independence as possible.

The Mini or Midi beads are usually recommended for older children. Mini measures 2.5mm in diameter, while Midi measures 5mm.

It is recommended to choose Midi for children from 5-10 years and Mini for children from 10 years and up.

Worth knowing about the product range and bead sizes

When you choose the largest bead size, you will get fewer beads in your mixed buckets. The weight is the same as with the Mini versions, but because of the large size of the beads, the product contains fewer beads.

Whether you want the Mini, Midi or Maxi beads, you can buy them in mixed colour buckets or single colour.

It is not only children who can enjoy getting creative with beads. Many adults also enjoy it and use it as a way to relax and unwind. When you use the smallest beads, you might benefit from using a pair of tweezers, as they can offer you better control over your projects and your fingerwork.
