Arabella from Shreveport writes: I really want Orbeez and I think I’m getting them today. So, put your Orbeez in a cup– try clear and a color of your choice. Then, you can turn out the lights if it’s not nighttime. Turn on a lamp and put the cup filled with Orbeez under the lamp. It should make a really cool reflection. If you want, you can make animals with your fingers on the Orbeez reflection.

Lauren from Pflugerville writes: I think that you should grow Orbeez in shapes like hearts, stars and animals.

Crystal from Manville NJ writes: “Wouldn’t it be cool to have an Orbeez ferris wheel. Imagine the Orbeez going around on the ferris wheel then they could be let of into a funnel and dropped into a container. I think lots of people would enjoy it. I have Orbeez myself and I love them so much but one thing that makes me mad is when they smuch and I don’t really touch them that’s something you guys can improve on anyways ORBEEZ FARIS WHEEL!!!

Colby from Chicago writes: I think that you should make color-changing Orbeez.

Hannah from Gillett writes: i think you should make a flower and the outline moves so all the beads switch.

Ayanna from Baltimore writes: We play bowling. We get tiny bowling pins from toys and get rid of the ball and use the Orbeez.

Douglas from Clarkston writes: I think you should make Orbeez that don’t break as easily so your Orbeez last longer or you should make an Orbeez track to put your Orbeez down and watch them race.

Selena from New York writes: I’m a HUGE fan of Orbeez, and I’ve got a little idea…I think the company should make an Orbeez water park, which includes slides, water, Ferris wheels, swings just above the water, etc.

 

Check out these new suggestions and fan comments:

Ashley from Holstvill wants new molds: I think you should make more molds for the Orbeez like the peace sign and other things like animals, bugs and more.

Alex from Pennsylvania on BIG Orbeez: I think you should have Orbeez that can grow really big! I also think rainbow colored Orbeez would be cool!

Cydney C. from Dayton talks Ziplocks: You and your friends get gallon size ziplock bags, put some different colors of you Orbeez inside and some water so they don’t shrink. Make sure to close the bag tight so water and Orbeez don’t fall out. Take them to school and between your classes trade your colors with different friends!

Parker from Destin, Florida wants Orbeez to glow-in-the-dark: Hi I am an all time fan of Orbeez. I have been playing with them lately and I got the idea of glow-in-the-dark Orbeez.

Julia from Bonney Lake, WA on why she loves Orbeez: Hey Orbeez fans! My brother and me simply adore Orbeez. We play with them all the time. We have slowly created an Orbeez world out of plates, bowls and other things around the kitchen. We used spoons to connect the plates so the Orbeez can travel. We’ve created shops, spas, public pools and hot tubs. Each Orbeez family gets their own house (bowls). Like I said we love Orbeez!

Skylar from South Carolina makes sparkle Orbeez: If you have the clear ones then you can put them in a cup of water with food die your choice and some sparkles and let them soak for 2 days and you have your own sparkly colored Orbeez.

Shawn, a Mom from Mohawk asks if Orbeez gets rid of asthma: My daughter got Orbeez for Christmas. She also has a hard time breathing at night because are house is very dry. Since she has had her Orbeez balls in containers in her room I believe they have worked as some kind of humidifer for her bedroom and she sleeps a lot better and is not coughing as much and has not needed her asthma meds all winter she has needed neb treatments since she was a baby. Not once since she has had them in her her room. Maybe just a coincidence, or maybe they can provide a service for asthma victims.

The Orbeez Team: WOW! That is worth looking into. Thank you so much for the information. We wish your daughter excellent health and hope it keeps working.

Grown Orbeez

Chloe sent us some ideas: Waterfall idea: It would basically be a waterfall with plastic rocks around it and the Orbeez would flow through it! Fish bowl idea: You would have a fish bowl and you add Orbeez to the bottom and you would have little plastic fish that you fill with orbeez and you add them in the fish bowl and water pumps make the Orbeez fish swim around! And the Orbeez at the bottom would not float around because there would be a plastic wall to keep them from moving! I hope you like these ideas!

The Orbeez Team: We like them!

Desiree from Atlanta: You can use Orbeez as the rocks in a fish tank. It makes it very colorful and bright.

The Orbeez Team: Yes, they do look beautiful.

Jill from Northampton: You should have Orbeez that have a shell on the outside and when you would grow it each time it gets a little bit bigger it changes color. I love Orbeez!!!

The Orbeez Team: Great imagination!

Katy Cragg from Temple Terrace: I think you should make an Orbeez slingshot me and my bro and sis could go in our trampoline and shoot at each other.

The Orbeez Team: Have you seen the new Xploderz line arriving in stores? You can check them out on Facebook.

Heather from Whitesburg, KY tells us: Make bottles in different animals and shapes like they do for the sand art. I think the Orbeez would be a lot prettier because they are kinda shiny.

The Orbeez Team: Good idea. Thanks for sharing.

Abbs from Allen, TX sent us this game idea: I try to bounce them over my Stack ems, and if I don’t bounce it over them I have to take a Stack em away. So, the idea was to bounce all my Orbeez over my stack ems.

The Orbeez Team: Very resourceful. Thanks for sending!

Rebekah from Albuquerque writes: I think you should make sparkly Orbeez many people love sparkles.

The Orbeez Team: We love sparkles too.

Ryan from Brea: I think you should sell something like a heat lamp with a special non-stick surface to put used Orbeez on to dry them out for future use.

The Orbeez Team: Excellent idea. Thanks for sharing.

An Orbeez fan from Nashville: I just got some Orbeez, and I froze them. Like I let them grow to half the size put them in the show off container and put the other part on top and froze that they were sorta hard but once they melted they were more squishy and lasted longer. Also maybe you could make bracelet kits for them if you carefully put a needle through them you can end up with a bracelet, earrings, etc.

The Orbeez Team: Good thinking—isn’t it amazing how much you can do with Orbeez?

Raven from Naperville: You can flick them in someone’s hand and the first thing you do you have to have two partners and two Orbeez. Someone has to go first and you try to flick the one in your partners hand.

The Orbeez Team: Good game—sounds fun!

Kaitlyn from Lexington Park: I use Orbeez for multiple things. Sometimes I make a lot of Orbeez, then take my Dad’s glass cups and fill them up with Orbeez to feel and play with. I also place them around my Angel Plant in the soil to keep it watered. I love Orbeez, and I make more every single day!

Matthew Daly from Jupiter: You guys should make heat-sensitive Orbeez like one color in cold water another in warm or hot water.

The Orbeez Team: Advanced thinking, we like it!

Megan from Cumming: I found out that you can make your Orbeez turn into air fresheners while you can still have fun with them! First, take unsoaked Orbeez. then find a big thing of liquid that smells good! Then put the Orbeez into the Magic Maker, add one cup of water and one cup of the smelly liquid! Soak for two hours and there you have it! That is how to make Orbeez air fresheners!!

The Orbeez Team: Yet another new use for Orbeez.

Tina Stuk from Hudsonville: What about filling a tube-like picture frame with Orbeez or a plastic see-through pillow, or throw them inside clear Christmas ornaments. What about jewelry? Kid shoes with small heels filled with Orbeez, colorful clock frames and pictures to hang on the wall, clear blocks to fill for color Furniture that can be filled with Orbeez also! Endless ideas!

The Orbeez Team: Wow that’s a lot of imagination for one person.

Evan from Pittsburgh: My idea is to make Orbeez stronger and bigger.

Austin from Orlando: I think you should make a line of toys made from Orbeez so you can build your own toys.

The Orbeez Team: Sounds good.

Dominique Rodriguez from Rossford, Ohio: Maybe the Orbeez Makers could try to invent mood Orbeez. You know like Orbeez that can tell your mood. That would be tight.

The Orbeez Team: Yes, that seems to be a popular idea.

Stacy Ann Brazell from Saint Clair: You should make inserts for you shoes or something like a slipper for sore and tired feet.

The Orbeez Team: I think you are going to like our fall products!

Orbeez Ice Pack

Orbeez Grown

Jennifer, a mom of five from Senatobia, MS tells us: Recently I bought some of these to try out and show the kids how neat they were. After I “grew” them in water and we played with them, I placed the Orbeez in a snack-sized ziploc bag and came up with a GREAT use. Did you know Orbeez make a GREAT ice pack? While they were in the zip-loc bag, I placed them in the fridge for a short while until they became cold. When I took them out, they stayed cold a while. Put the bag on scrapes, bumps and bruises and you have an instant ice pack! Just an idea from one parent to another!

The Orbeez Team: Thank you for sharing Jennifer. Aren’t they versatlie?

Sebastian from Holland has been experimenting: If you put clear Orbeez in a jar of water and wait until they are fully expanded then they will be clear. So if you put clear Orbeez in a glass jar and put a message in the back of the jar you will not be able to see it. But then when you slowly pour water in the jar you will reveal the message.

The Orbeez Team: What a great, out-of-the-jar idea!

Jordan from Nashville: You should make Orbeez glow in the dark or mix the colors to make new colors.

The Orbeez Team: That seems like a very popular idea!

Owen Langan from Wyckoff, New Jersey: I think that you should make Orbeez that are different shapes like hearts squares etc.

The Orbeez Team: Yes, a lot of our fans are asking for different shapes. Thanks for sharing.

Payton from Plano sounds like a real Orbeez fan: Orbeez rock!!! My sister and me grow them and then put them in their tank and pretend as if they are pets! I got like a thousand for my b-day and I LOVE THEM!!! If you are unsure if they are a good toy for your kids, they sure are!!!!!!!! Parents, here is a great, safe, and fun idea for Christmas, birthdays:) or even a fun present!!!! :) peace out!!!! TRY THEM!!!!!!!!

The Orbeez Team: Payton: Call us when you graduate—we might have a spot on our Marketing Team.

Cassie, a mom from Stroudsburg writes: My daughter and all of her friends are crazy in love with these things. It is the newest craze… and I notice they all walk around with their Orbeez in water bottles. I think there should be some kind of bottle that they can fill with the water and maybe some kind of twist-off bottom so they can let the water out but not have to empty out the Orbeez.

The Orbeez Team: We love when we get mom endorsements. Thank you for sharing.

Kristina from NY, Staten Island has a list of suggestions: I think you should have a race track for Orbeez . Or you can make: an obstacle course, orbeez ocean/pond/ home filled with water for Orbeez, and Orbeez bigger buddy/plush Orbeez filled with water/regular plush Orbeez. Also make an Orbeez bed/ sheets for beds. Maybe even Orbeez cups. Orbeez clothes!!!!!I love Orbeezzzzz!!!!

The Orbeez Team: We’ll get right on it!

Mad from Buffalo has this idea: I think you should make exercise balls out of Orbeez so people can have fun when they are exercise!

The Orbeez Team: What an original idea. We like it.

Caroline from Charlotte writes: What you could do is lay Orbeez on the floor and lay on them then slide around on the floor.

The Orbeez Team: Have you tried it?

Terrie from Maine: Hey i think you should make more Orbeez colors more then just 9. One color I’m pretty sure you don’t have is black. I think black would be cool because it would look solid and hard so you could surprise your friends. Another color i don’t think you have is red. Red would be a nice addition to your Orbeez collection and brighten up the selection a little more. Also my best idea for a color yet is different color Orbeez. For example, White with Black spots, Blue and Green, Pink with black or blue spots, silver, and other cool composes! Please consider these cool colors and patterns. P.S my fav. combo is white with black spots, zebra stripes, and black with white spots.

The Orbeez Team: Good thinking. It’s actually tough to make white or black Orbeez because of the pigment needed. But we like the idea color combinations. BTW, we do have red.

Ella from Grand Rapids writes:
You should make “Orbeez Figures” — it should include 500 Orbeez,and a machine where you can pile up Orbeez and they stick together! That also includes eyes,noses,and mouths! You can make faces and let it dry,and then you have a figure! Then kids can play with them and have little playsets that the figures can play in!

The Orbeez Team: Sounds like fun!

Grace and Carson Parker from The Woodlands have this idea:
You put a few Orbeez on a slide, it slides down into the miniature pool or hot tub, one slide for the pool, one slide for the hot tub, a ladder-looking catapult for a ladder into the water, a bridge to the catapult and the slides, package comes with 5 Orbeez floaties, 2 Orbeez beach balls, 5 drinks, 5 plates of food, 5 towels, 2 hammocks, a baby pool setup, a swim-up snack and drink bar, a baby duck slide for the baby pool, restrooms, lifeguard setup, a souvineer stand, 2 first aid kits, water roller coaster, a lazy river, a bucket filling up with water to dump on guests, food bags, food, lawn chairs, water bumper cars, a bus, a map stand, ticket stands, cd’s, a boom box, speakers, all the above before the words, “package includes”, palm trees, and a pet pool. A separate package can include a hotel resort with everything you would find in a 5-star hotel, including, mini soap bottles, room service phones, televisions, and bathtub/shower.

Orbeez Team: Wow, now that is elaborate. When you graduate you should think about a job designing toys, or hotels!

Miss Berry, a teacher from Hallsville writes: I use Orbeez in my science classroom to inspire my students to create experiements. They come up with testable questions and then perform the experiment to test their ideas. The kids love it!

Orbeez Team: We love it too. Thanks for sharing and for  inspiring kids to enjoy science.

Bubble Bath Fun

Spencer of Kansas City writes:
“What you should do is make an orbeez bubble bath have a bath tub and then have little figures to put inside of it. Next fill the tub with Orbeez to make it look like a REAL BUBBLE BATH. That would be so much fun for kids to play with and I know about 300 small kids that would LOVE IT just in my school district.

The Orbeez Team: We think that sounds awesome!

We get lots of suggestions from our fans–here are a couple.

Jenny from Apple Valley: “You should make an obstacle course for them!!”

Orbeez: “We think that’s a great idea.”

Taylor & Christopher: “You at Orbeez should let Orbeez lovers put glitter in them or paint.”

Orbeez: That sounds like fun. We know that if you take clear Orbeez and add food coloring, you can change their color!”

Jess of Arlington Heights has a great suggestion:

“When we have a flooding or a big amount of rainfall why cant we just take Orbeez and absorb the water after the rain stops. A lot of Orbeez would be easer to clean and make it safe to get around, or use the substance they are made of to clean a flooding.”

Orbeez: Good thinking Jess. Superbabsorbent polymers are in fact used in environmental cleanup–to clean oil spills and other environmental waste. We haven’t hear of this idea being used, although we sure like it.
