I use water beads in play therapy as a sensory experience. When the senses are regulated then the brain can learn and absorb new things. Water beads are fun for both boys and girls and are not going to be messy. They are perfect for those kiddos who don't like to have residue on their hands.
This website is about where to get water beads and different ideas that she does in her classroom with them.

If I was a teacher with a classroom, I would try to keep some sort of soothing sensory tool behind or in my desk to hand to a student that was struggling with self-control. A bowl or bag of water beads would be great for this. Give the student a 5-10 minute timer to sit by your desk and enjoy their sensory experience. Trust me, you will be amazed how much less energy you have to put in to discipline when you catch them before they start acting out.
What other ideas do you have for water beads?
