Kinetic Sand Sandcastle Set (Styles Vary) Non-Toxic Educational and Creative Sensory Play Sand Toys for Boys and Girls Aged 3+

Bought as a Christmas present for my 6 year old daughter I thought the price was a little high for the product nearly £10 more than the basic set and the only difference is a bit of extra sand and a couple of moulds but it was a very much wanted gift from Santa so I purchased the set. The tray is not deep enough to play with the sand in ito to shallow and most of it ends up on the dining table or the floor, the moulds are ok but my initial reservations about the cost were right as th the tray and moulds are easily bought in for a couple of pounds so the £10 this manufacturer has charged is a bit cheeky really and I have cashed in on a new product that is a popular Christmas present request. The sand it's self it's fun to play with it is not however fun to get off your skin afterwards I would after a couple of playtimes recommend that you get sum latex child friendly gloves it's hard to clean off and gets stuck solid under even the shortest of finger nails. You do get a good amount of sand wit the set but it's all the same colour (blue) so extra bags of the other colours have since been purchased as has a deeper tray (cat litter tray from a pet shop) I would say that if you are going to buy kinetic sand don't buy this set get the basic set which has the 3different colours of sand in and then buy ur moulds and tools separately.

This stuff is awesome and it keeps kids occupied for a long time, which is what we want as parents! I bought this for my daughter who had endless hours of fun with it, modelling things or just squishing it. It’s a soothing consistency and a little bit addictive to play with.There are lots of sets available now with different things to make and do. The colours are all really vibrant which makes it a bit more fun than traditional play sand.I have bought many of these sets for her friends and family members as everyone seems to love it. The set lasts a while if you look after it - make sure you keep it wrapped up in ziplock bags as it can get everywhere.Overall I’m happy with my purchase.

This has been one of the best things I could’ve bought for my son! Keeps him entertained for a long time. Plus I find it magical, I could look at it for hours falling off my hand! Came well packaged

This set is excellent. I've always been keen to try after seeing the countless adverts advertising this item so was pleased my daughters birthday was approaching to be able to buy.Upon opening the box it is pretty much ready to go once you have emptied the sand from the plastic bag it came in. The great thing is that once you have finished you can simply pop the shapes into the tray which already contains the sand, and because it never dries out you simply slide into the box ready for another day.The sand itself is great and very addictive for play! You can mould it in your hands, when you pull it apart it falls almost as a liquid would. It really is as good as it looks! A bonus is if, like myself, you have younger children or siblings who all want to get in on the action and can spill the sand onto the table - you simply push a bit around and the remaining sand clings to it - hassle free clearing up!There is one slight thing, although this could just be where it has spilled over out of the tray (like the rug for example), that when we next go play there are tiny little grains of hard sand type bits with a stony feel - as mentioned though this could be down to us and possibly contaminating it a little. I really cannot fault it otherwise though although being a bit cheaper would of course be wonderful!

This sand is awesome! Literally everyone who has seen it, has played with it and said the same thing; "That's amazing". My 4 year old loves playing with it and it's reasonable mess-free. It doesn't stick to your hands or anything else really. A few things worthy of mentioning:1. You don't get much sand, certainly not as much as shown on the box so don't be fooled. To be fair, too much more and there would likely be more spillage so the amount you get is about right.2. It's not totally 'mess-free', if the sand drops out of the tray you will need the hoover! This is obvious to some but not to all.If you're looking for something for your little one to enjoy then this is the perfect purchase for you. As a tip, buy a matt to go underneath the tray to catch the overspill!

This is fantastic stuff got it next day through prime, the kits are so good, they come with a tray and plastic shapes you can use to make sand castles or sand crabs or any other shape, best thing I ever bought, so much fun to play with, the way the sand comes together to make the shapes but if you start to move it it falls apart like real sand, but with no gritty feeling, it doesn't smell bad and the glitter just adds to the look of it, bought it for my daughter but I spend more time playing with it as I find it relaxes me

Bought this to encourage our daughter (3) to get her hands messy. This stuff is fantastic! It is great for indoor play- holds its shape well and also feels very soft to touch. We went on to buy extra sand as you can never have enough! The moulds are fun, easy for little ones to use and there is hardly any mess afterwards (and can be easily hoovered up). All in all, a great product.

Something different from the usual play dough, moon dough, plasticine etc so was a hit with the kids to start with. Great texture which keeps the interest but is quite limiting to what you can actually do with it. Can't really mould it as it soon dissolves back into a flat blob. Best using shape cutters and creating pictures but that's about it. Very expensive for what it is and can't see the point of having more than one colour at anyone time as it doesn't mould and hold it's form like play dough. Useful tray which is definitely needed otherwise it goes everywhere. Definite positive is that it is easier to clear up off the carpet compared to play dough as it doesn't get trampled in because it doesn't stick. Unfortunately my little one decided to add water one day and it hasn't been the same since despite trying to dry it out.
