You can also create classic necklaces, bracelets and chains but why would you when the critters are so much fun?

Have fun with the world's most pop-ular people. This book includes pop beads shaped like heads, bodies, feet and all the other parts you need to make a new set of friends. We've even developed names, games and personalities for our pop bead buddies. And, of course, our beads snap together and pull apart with a satisfying, full-bodied ""POP!"" every time.
