3lbs Kinetic Beach Sand Set - Fun Playtime Activity for Ages 3 and Up

Ariel: The texture and thickness of this sand it greater than the coloured Kinetic sand options. I love the thickness. It’s easier to clean, easier to mold. It is stronger and harder to pull apart but doesn’t make as much of a mess.

Jessica W.: Alright, let's talk about the fascinating world of Kinetic Sand—a sensory delight that captivates both young and old. However, there are some important tips to keep in mind:

First and foremost, playing with Kinetic Sand is like entering a realm of endless creativity. Its unique texture is like a magnetic force, drawing you in for hours of fun. But here's the thing—Kinetic Sand can be a bit of a glutton when it comes to quantity. One bag might leave you hungry for more, especially if you have ambitious sandcastle-building plans.

The advice to keep it in an airtight container is golden. Kinetic Sand is like a free spirit; it tends to wander and leave small particles behind. An airtight container keeps it tidy and ready for your next creative session.

Now, let's talk about quantity. Your assessment is spot on—sometimes one bag just isn't enough, especially if you have big projects in mind. It's like trying to build a skyscraper with a single LEGO set. Getting two bags ensures you have enough to bring your imaginative ideas to life.

In conclusion, Kinetic Sand is like a mesmerizing playground of creativity, but it can be a bit demanding when it comes...

clothmummyclothmummy: We love this sand for our young boys, (ages 9, 6 & 3) they all love it, but one in particular is especially sensory seeking. Play dough, silly putty, blankets.. he can’t get enough of this. We’ve had this sand before (in green) - when our puppy ate most of it (note: he was just fine, with no ill effects) but then I thought I’d save money and buy a knock off kinetic sand to replace it. That was a mistake.. it was dry and crumbly and incredibly messy. Needed to get rid of that. Don’t make my mistake- the Kinetic Sand brand is worth the $$.. it’s nice and moist, doesn’t make much of a mess-if any at all, it’s fun to shape, holds shape well, easy to contain, and quick to tidy up. We encourage the boys to keep it in the “sandbox” and they have hours of fun. We did purchase 3 bags right away so there was enough to play with, but for how much they enjoy it during the winter months while they can’t play in the sandbox outdoors, it was worth every cent. Highly recommend!

Jake Hanks: The media could not be loaded.  I bought 3 packs for my kids for Christmas. I finally threw it away in June.
It has that indescribable soft, stretchy, yet fall apart kinetic sand consistency that is so satisfying to play with. It packs nicely so you can make shapes. I haven't had the colored kinetic sand so I can't compare the two, but I loved the texture of this.

This never dries out. I left it on a cookie sheet up on a shelf and pulled it down every couple weeks for the kids to play with. For 6 months! Take that playdough.
I thought my son had ruined his because he added some water to it, but after it sat on the shelf uncovered for a couple days it had dried out and was back to it's regular consistency.

It cleans up easily as long as you don't get it wet! I walked into the living room and saw it smashed into the carpet everywhere and my hear dropped. Then I started picking it up and it just came right off without leaving anything behind. Amazing! It doesn't leave residue on your hands or the table unless it gets wet and then you feel like you went to the beach and have sand stuck to you. However if you just leave it to dry it wipes right off.
When it...

jwen: This is a perfect distraction to keep around for the kids during the quarantine, ages 4 and 2. I allow my kids some time for messy play when I really need to get work done, and the first time they played with the kinetic sand they were very absorbed for a good two hours. And they were so focused on the different ways to mold and play with it so I was really able to see their little minds at work.
I like that it's safe and easy to play with and keeps really well. The price isn't too bad either.
Only a few minor cons include: it's not as easy as I imagine getting off of clothes - it kind of sticks when kids sit or lean on smaller chunks, after cleaning up you inevitably feel a few leftover gritty sand pieces here and here, and we played on a flat mat surface and the area in contact with it was a bit slippery afterward - not so much that it feels messy but enough for the husband to ask if we spilled/ wiped off cooking oil in those spots.

Ashley: I purchased this for a sand/water table for my 17 month old son and 4 year old nephew. Like other reviewers stated this sand does have a slight smell to it. I didn't think it was awful or to the point that I wouldn't allow the kids to use it. It's clearly whatever chemical is holding the sand together the way it does. This sand does not do good if it gets wet. It starts separating and is hard to clean up once it gets wet. This sand is not like regular kinetic sand. Regular kinetic sand is made with a much finer grain of sand, whereas this stuff is made with actual sand. So it doesn't stay together like the regular kinetic sand does. When stretching this sand, you could also see the clear sticky chemical that's used to hold this sand together. It would work perfectly for just a sand table, but if you're using it for a sand and water table, regular sand might be a better choice. This stuff is cool how it sticks together, and even I have fun playing around with it. I bought it for 2 young boys and my 11 year old daughter ended up taking half the bag for herself to play with. It's not real sand, so for the price you don't get a lot, but this was a good amount for a small water/sand...

ZhillZhill: I’m really trying to cut down screen time for my 3 year old and bought her this kinetic sand. I was influenced to buy it based on the fantastic reviews and the product is really worth it. The sand texture is great and feels and looks like real beach sand. It keeps my toddler occupied for hours and she doesn’t get bored. She used beach toys and play doh molds and animal toys alternatively. It’s loads of fun to play even as adults. The only thing I’m yet to get used to is the soapy, gluey smell but it’s negligible compared to all the fun. Highly recommend this sand which is also really easy to clean up. I allow my child to only play on a vinyl mat and keep the sand in a container always. The original package bag has a ziploc and makes for easy storage. Don’t throw away the bag! My kid now prefers playing with this sand rather than TV which is a win win. Go buy one or may be 2!

Chelsea Cleary: As a mobile therapist, I require a huge toolbox of fidgets, toys, & other tools to keep my kiddos & clients engaged in session. I’d have to say this is the product that keeps all ages of clients the happiest! From kids to teens to adults and even myself, it’s a really peaceful sand that is therapeutic and calming to watch fall and melt into itself. It can be smooshed, torn apart, molded into shapes & other endless opportunities. I keep it in an air tight container & the kiddos play with it right in the container like a personal sand box. I’ve had no issues with humidity or temperature impacting it. Though I do bring it into the house in the evenings just in case. It has the exact same texture as thick beach sand and leaves your hands feeling soft afterwards. No residue, no pickup and no mess. And I’ve seen ALL SORTS of kiddos play with this stuff. Really impressive product.
