About GILI Toys
Big ideas begin with busy hands.
GILI Toys creates hands-on DIY jewelry and craft kits for children ages 4–12. Our kits give kids a clear place to begin, enough freedom to make the result their own, and something real they can wear, remake, keep, or share.
Why GILI exists
Children learn a great deal when they can choose, connect, arrange, braid, correct, and try again. We design creative play around that process: simple enough to start, interesting enough to revisit, and satisfying because progress is visible.
For parents and gift-givers, that means a practical alternative to passive screen time—an activity with an age guide, an organized set of materials, and a finished creation children can feel proud of.
Two ways to create
Pop Beads Jewelry Kit · Ages 4–8
The GILI Pop Beads Jewelry Kit includes 500 colorful plastic pieces that snap together without string or knots. Children can make bracelets, necklaces, rings, headbands, and other accessories, then take them apart and build something new.
Friendship Bracelet Making Kit · Ages 8–12
The GILI Friendship Bracelet Making Kit is a portable 180-piece braiding set with supplies for more than 20 bracelets. The loom, colorful strings, alphabet beads, decorative beads, and stickers help children make patterns, names, messages, and friendship gifts.

What guides our products
- Easy to start: age-appropriate systems reduce setup and help children begin making quickly.
- Room to choose: colors, patterns, names, shapes, and combinations make each result personal.
- Skills through play: careful hand movements, coordination, pattern recognition, patience, and creative decisions grow through the activity itself.
- Made to be shared: finished jewelry can become a gift, keepsake, trade, or small celebration of friendship.
- Designed to come back to: organized components and reusable ways to create support more than one play session.
Age guidance and safety
GILI kits include small parts and are not suitable for children under 3. Always follow the age and safety guidance on the product packaging, supervise younger makers as appropriate, and return small components to their organizer after use.
