Kinetic SandBeach Sand Kingdom Playset with 3lbs of Beach Sand, for Ages 3 and Up

Good

So I like that this was super clean up especially on carpet when the little dropped some. It didn’t stick at all and I was able to pick it up and put it back in the bin we used for it. It didn’t have much of a smell to me which was nice, though it did have a scent of some sort, grape perhaps. The little has a great time with it. The toys it came with were easy to put the sand in and dump out of the mold without sticking.When the little dropped some in a cup of water I thought It would be ruined but we let it sit over night on a paper towel and it was as good as new.I did leave to the other side of the room for a second as lost horror stories begin in the life of a parent.. and the little must have dropped some and the dog ate it. I’m saying this is a 3 lb box and our dog ate over 2 lbs 😑 it’s non toxic. But you have to monitor for blockage. Our dog first puked it up outside 15 min after consuming then ate it before I could clean it. I was up all night with the dog who had trouble puking / excreting. At the vet the next day to be sure he was ok, It glows on the X-ray just FYI. Thankfully dog passed everything naturally. But just beware for pet owners.

Okay, so I'm an adult and my grandchildren introduced me to Kinetic sand. It is the best ever! This product feels like beach sand, which is kinda cool and the molds are fun for the kids to play with. However, I sit at the table and kneed the sand the entire time they are playing with it. if I'm having a really bad day, I can REALLY KNEED it, I can name it BOB! I love to feel it slip through my fingers and it costs me less than a therapy session!!! The greatest part is, I get to spend time with my grandkids and they don't know if I'm having a good or bad day! Everyone should KNEED it!! ;)

My granddaughter loves this stuff! Get various things to mold in the sand and big trays to hold the sand, so kids can play with the sand around the house or out on the deck. It does not make as bad a mess as one would think.

We wanted kinetic sand for our children, and this sand with a few little toys was virtually the same price as a bag of sand by itself.The little toys are fun enough as molds for little sand castles and such. The box is a little disappointing as a little sandbox. I know we live in an age where a tiny plastic container could cost several dollars by itself, but that would make it a far better toy. Additionally, despite my immense care in opening the box, the glue ripped off some of the outer layer of cardboard so the little sandbox is not pretty enough for us careful perceived l perfectionists. Anyway, I can't imagine using an unsealed cardboard box to store kinetic sand, so I put the sand back in its original bag and we'll just buy another plastic bin to use as the sandbox.If you haven't given kinetic sand to your child and you're a first timer with this stuff, I recommend a plastic container that can be used for both play and storage. Kids have a hard time containing the stuff and you will probably have to clean up a little if your child is younger than 7 years old, but it's not so bad. I'd buy this product again and recommend it, though it's not spectacular. Try to wait for a sale price or just get a bag of kinetic sand and add your own little toys and molds.

The Easter bunny brought 2 sets of these for my 4 and 6 year olds. And I got them on sale! Less than $12 a piece. I would easily pay full price for these.ProsThe box turns into the play space. Less mess!!There is plenty of sand to make great castles.The castles are sturdy and great quality.Easy to clean up!!Keeps my little ones busy for a while.Did I mention it's easy to clean this up??Have you ever had playdoh smushed into your carpets and bits everywhere? Have you ever had slime on a brand new couch? (vinegar solves the problem btw) Because I have. I practically cry when they want to play playdoh because it gets everywhere. But kinetic sand is so different and easy to clean. Oh yeah, now the cons.ConsJust buy this! It's freaking wonderful!!!!!!

We purchased this kinetic sand kit primarily due to the amount of sand for the price. It comes in a box that can be folded into a play area to contain the sand. While this does work, it isn't something you can seal to keep the sand from drying out so we have opted to use a cheap Tupperware-style container for storage and playing. The kit comes with some beach toys for use with this sand and my 4-year old daughter loves making things with it. If you are new to kinetic sand and have a toddler, I highly recommend making this purchase. It allows the children to learn and experiment with their creativity and it offers a different option to play doh. As long as you keep the sand sealed up between uses it will not dry out. Once it becomes dry it will start to break apart from the compound that keeps it together and you will start to see sand grains around your table or wherever your children play. Just be aware of that.

I got this sand for my toddler and preschooler and they've had a blast with it! They've been playing with it for about 4 months now, and it's holding up great. It holds together very well, there is no mess, and it's much easier to make shapes out of it with the molds than with regular sand, because it comes out of the mold much easier. With regular sand, when it's wet it tends to stick especially inside the smaller crevices of the sand shape molds. With this sand, you just turn the mold upside down and it comes out clean in one beautiful piece. The molds that come with it are nice, but we also use our regular sand toys with it, and the play dough tools as well. It works well with cookie cutter type shapes, too. It feels very nice handling it, and it oozes down in a very cool way, like some alien creature. I love love love it, and so do my kids!
