Best Kids' Play Necklaces of 2026

"I've always wanted one of these necklaces for the holidays and was thrilled with how quickly it arrived and how bright, festive, and colorful the lights were. The different lighting modes are a lot of fun, and it was great for both kids and adults. I also liked that it was a good value and ready to use right out of the package. The button to switch modes took a little getting used to, but it was easy once I got the hang of it."

"I purchased these for Christmas parties and loved how lightweight and easy to wear they were. The lights weren't too harsh, with several fun blinking and steady light settings. They turned out to be adorable, long-lasting, and a big hit at gatherings."

"These necklaces were a fun addition to our holiday outfits, and I especially liked using them for my kids during night walks to keep them visible. The variety of lighting patterns and impressive battery life stood out to me. The only downside was that one necklace arrived broken, but I was able to fix it easily. Overall, I had a great experience."

"I brought an 8-pack of these necklaces to our Christmas family party and they were a huge hit. Everyone loved wearing them and they made our pictures so much more festive and colorful. I really appreciated the different lighting modes, and I’ll definitely be bringing more next year!"

"I took these to a workshop during the holidays and they were a smash hit with everyone. The fun, flashing lights really added to the festive mood and got everyone in the holiday spirit."

"I’m really impressed with how safe and sturdy these necklaces are. There are no loose stones or sharp edges, and my toddlers love wearing them every day. They can put them on and take them off by themselves, and they’ve held up really well despite daily play. I appreciate the thoughtful design for young children."

"What sets these apart is the one-piece, flexible construction that eliminates any choking hazards. My kids can easily use them on their own, and the durability is fantastic—they’re still going strong after a year of play. The painted 'gems' look beautiful, and there’s no worry about anything breaking off. I would definitely buy these again!"

"The quality and design are great, but my 3-year-old prefers necklaces that hang down like traditional bead necklaces. Still, I think these are really cool and much safer than the usual play jewelry I remember from my childhood."

"I got this for my daughter's birthday and she absolutely fell in love with it. The necklace is not only adorable and well-made, but also lights up and plays music, which made it extra magical for her.

Excellent value for the price!"

"My 5-year-old can't get enough of this necklace. She loves to sing along with Ariel's song and wears it both for dress-up and every day. The bright colors, fun lights, and music make it a wonderful addition to her playtime, and she hasn't stopped playing with it since we got it. Highly recommended for little Ariel fans!"

"I got these for the 4th of July and, even before using them, I could tell they were exactly what I was looking for. The beads are bright and shiny, with a length that works for both kids and adults. They feel higher quality than most party beads and aren’t heavy, making them comfortable for all-day wear. I can’t wait to use them with my family for our celebration!"

"I got this bead set for my granddaughter, who is on the Autism spectrum. She spends hours playing with them—covering her figurines or dropping them into cups.
