Hama Large Gift Box - Magical Horses

A Bead Craft Set for Horse-Loving Kids - Ages 5 Years+

The Hama Large Gift Box — Magical Horses is a complete bead craft kit built around one of kids’ most beloved themes. With approximately 4,000 Hama beads, two pegboards — including a special fantasy horse-shaped board — and a colourful design sheet full of magical horse patterns, this set gives kids everything they need to create, fuse, and display their own bead artwork. The kind of kit that keeps hands busy and imaginations running for hours.

What’s in the Box

• Approx. 4,000 Hama beads in assorted colours
• 1 large hexagonal pegboard
• 1 special fantasy horse-shaped pegboard
• Colourful design sheet with magical horse patterns
• Ironing paper
• Instructions

Why Kids (and Parents) Love It

• The horse board is the standout: The fantasy horse-shaped pegboard lets kids create a bead design that follows the silhouette of a horse — a much more satisfying result than a standard square board, and a natural display piece once fused.
• 4,000 beads means real creative freedom: Enough beads to complete multiple designs from the pattern sheet and experiment with their own creations. No running out mid-project.
• Builds focus and fine motor skills: Placing individual beads onto a pegboard requires patience, precision, and concentration — all developed naturally through play, without it feeling like practice.
• The fusing step is the magic moment: Once the design is complete, an adult irons the beads to fuse them permanently. The transformation from loose beads to a solid, colourful creation is genuinely satisfying for kids — and the result is something they’ll want to keep.
• Reusable pegboards: Once the fused design is removed, the pegboards are ready to use again for the next creation.

• A strong gift choice for kids who love horses, crafts, or creative activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is the Magical Horses set best suited for?

Recommended from 5 years. Children in this range can place beads onto the pegboard independently, though they’ll need an adult for the ironing step. Older children (7+) can work more independently and tackle more complex patterns from the design sheet.

How does the bead fusing process work?

Once the beads are arranged on the pegboard, place the included ironing paper over the design. An adult then irons over the paper using a household iron on a medium heat setting — the heat melts the beads slightly, fusing them together. Once cooled, the design can be carefully removed from the pegboard as a solid, permanent piece.

Do I need anything else to complete the set?

A standard household iron is required for the fusing step — this is not included. Everything else needed to create and fuse designs is included in the box.

Can the pegboards be reused?

Yes — once the fused design is removed, the pegboards are completely reusable. Additional Hama bead packs in different colours are available separately, so kids can keep creating new designs long after the included beads are used.

What skills does it build?

Hama bead crafting supports fine motor development (precise bead placement), concentration and patience (working through a design step by step), colour recognition and matching, spatial reasoning (following a pattern on a grid), and creative expression (designing original patterns).
