Have you seen tiny colored beads on your friend's desk? They are called perler beads. Each one is only five millimeters wide. You pick the colors, place them on a board, and press them with a hot iron. When they cool down, they become one solid piece. You can make a key ring, a magnet, or a gift for a friend. Sales jumped over nine thousand percent in one holiday. Many say the work is relaxing. Your phone makes you tired, but these small beads make you calm. The iron is hot. Always ask an adult to help.
你见过同学桌上的彩色小豆子吗？它们叫拼豆。每一颗只有五毫米宽。你挑好颜色，把它们排在板子上，再用热熨斗压一下；冷却之后，它们就变成一整块。你可以做成钥匙扣、冰箱贴，或者送给朋友的礼物。就在一个假期里，这类豆子的销量涨了九千多个百分点。很多人说，拼豆让人放松：手机让人越刷越累，这些小豆子却让人静下来。不过熨斗很烫，一定要请大人帮忙。
