11lb (5kg) Natural Brown Play Sand for Arts and Crafts, Sandbox, Amazon Exclusive (Packaging May Vary), Sensory Toys, Holiday Gifts & Stocking Stuffers for Kids Ages 3 and up

This set is great. The sand is flowy but doesn't stick to my hands. The castle pieces make really nice shapes out of the sand. I was surprised that the flowy sand packed tight enough to make shapes hold. Castle pieces and sand fit perfectly in the box, but with no extra room. The box is cute, and I think kids will enjoy the creative options it gives. I bought this for sandtray therapy, so I kind of wish the box had a flat bottom. I learned the hard way with another set of kinetic sand -- don't get it wet. I washed my hands and used a 3 lb bag from Michaels, and now it is kind of sticky and warm. It still works, but it is not as nice as this. I could be wrong about what happened. Hopefully other people will share if they have similar issues. I also bought the 5.5 lb box here on Amazon. This has a courser feel, and slightly moister. My first impression is that the two would not mix well. That is my only issue. I would like to have more than 2.5 lbs of sand to work with. If I do find more sand, it won't fit into the box. If the 3.25 lb bag from Amazon is similar to the 3 lb bag from Michaels, then that is probably the best bet for mixing. The 5.5 lb sand review redirects me here. So I'll say more about that. It's a lighter color and very fine. It still sticks to itself and not to my hands. It feels really good. It's a drier, smoother feel. I tried it with the sandcastle pieces, and it does hold its shape there. This sand is a lighter beige, while the sand castle kit sand is a darker, courser brown. This sand is great for sandtray therapy. The sandtray figures don't get dirty. The sand comes off easily. The sand is mesmerizing. It feels good to play with.

This 3.25 lb Kinetic Sand set is absolutely perfect for kids who love sensory play. The texture is soft, moldable, and incredibly satisfying to squish and shape. It never dries out, which makes it a great long-lasting activity for creative play. The beach-style sand has a natural, calming feel, and it’s much cleaner than regular sand—no mess, no sticking to hands, and super easy to sweep up. My child stays entertained for long stretches, building shapes, digging, and pretending they’re at the beach. It’s also great for sensory needs, fine motor skills, and quiet playtime. The resealable bag is a huge plus for storage. If you want a fun, reusable activity that keeps kids engaged, this Kinetic Sand is an amazing choice. Highly recommend!

Quality, durable sensory sand, color matches real sand. Highly recommend to use with drop cloth to prevent items for floor spillage mixing in. Value for money would and will purchase again

I have ordered this product several times for my kindergarten classroom. It is great for the sensory table! I usually buy 2 packs at a time which is enough sand for 3-4 kids to share at once. I already have all the accessories so I just need the sand which is what this product is. It sticks together, makes for easy cleanup, and keeps the kids occupied for a solid chunk of time. I usually order the brown, but it comes in several colors so it’s nice to have options. Highly recommend for an easy activity to keep kids busy!

It said this for a 5 year old but my 2yo loves to play with it! Of course with supervision making sure he doesn’t eat it. It’s very interesting because there’s no mess at all! You also will get the lid to cover and store everything! Makes it easy to store the toy without a mess! Also it’s not drying at all and can be used over and over again! Good for sensory play!

I got the 11 pound box and it is exactly the right size for a medium sensory box. I’d say it’s exactly the right amount for 1-2 toddlers to play with. My husband hates normal sand because that gets everywhere and this was our compromise so our kiddo can play with sand at home. It had a weird chemical smell when we took it out of the box- I hope it wears off with use and this is part of why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars although I would have given 4.5 stars if I could have. Also it comes packed (like really really packed) in the original packaging so you have to spend about 5 min fluffing up the sand the first time to get it ready. The other issue I have with it is that it is too heavy for a toddler to use a shovel in. However it molds perfectly and you can let it fall through your hands slowly and hide toys in it (even fabric ones) without anything sticking or getting dirty. When it falls out of the sensory box It cleans up easily- just grab a handful of sand and use it to blot up the rest of the sand. Overall great and I recommend it!

My grandchildren. 2 yrs old and 3 yrs old LOVE this! I bought 2 mini outdoor pools, one blue and one pink (no squabbling) and put the sand in them (1 for the 3-yr old grandson (blue) and one for his 2-yr old sister (pink.) They can play for a very long time for their ages! I bought road work as well construction toys, they push the sand around, they bury things and dig them out...can play w/this in many different ways! My daughter likes that it is soft not grainy, that it wipes off the kiddos bare skin and clothes, well! I do not let the sand in the pools sit outside, the pools are put under a covering or in a garage! I do not believe the sand would do well getting soaked by rain. The kid's dad got grass clippings in the setting on the ground pools, had to pitch it all and start over...a small pool or large tub, setting on a deck or in a porch, would be a great idea for outdoor play! Indoor, perhaps a large tub! Either way, the sand would easily be swept up, it does not harden like original Play Doh :) ! Great Buy!

For a kids sensory table or bin, I’d get two of these. But it’s so fun and my toddler loves it! It’s even relaxing for me to play with. I’ve never tried an off brand so I can’t compare quality, but it has held up well over a month and sand color is perfect.
