ATD Creative Sand Pendulum /Painting Pendulum Home Decoration(Contains Natural Sand Independent Packing)

This is a lovely pendulum that works. I placed it on a tray to avoid sand particles being strewn on the table top.

I bought this for my office, it’s very nice and everyone who walks in loves playing with it. It took a while for me to figure out how to make it make designs, came to figure out I had poured too much sand in the tray so make sure you don’t have a lot of sand so it can move well to create the beautiful designs.

In the description of item it says it is wooden. See picture. I was surprised to see it was plastic. Ended up not gifting to the original person I bought for (for their professional office) my family member will like it.

I find it slightly overpriced, slightly underperforming, but it still does what it was intended to do. The plastic arm arch is wobbly. The sand plate is flat when it could be dished to draw over a larger area. The metal hangar, cable and pendulum are nice quality. The ring link was a nice feature that provides more sway in the drawing. The sand flattener was cheap. The box it came in made for a better tool. I would of also gave it 5 stars where it much cheaper.

Not only does it work great for a little calming of the anxiety, it also stimulates my mind and is quite relaxing to watch as well.. almost mesmirizing. I wish there was a little lip to keep the sand inside the tray a bit better but it provides me with such entertainment that i dont care all that much, Awesome for yourself or to gift to others. Its the only one of its kind that i have seen so far and it would make a wicked cool, unique gift

I bought this to go on my desk in my office. I have a natural wood desk, and thought the sand art would be a nice addition. Assembly was easy, but I never could get it to work well at all. Too much sand in the sand tray and the pendulum would get stuck and not make any art. Too little sand and the pendulum would swing like you'd expect, but then there wasn't enough sand to make any noticeably art pattern. Tried using a medium amount of sand thinking that would be just right, and no. All that did was allow the pendulum to swing enough to throw fine grain sand all over my desk. 0/5 would not recommend.

Not only is this entertaining it’s educational. I have it on my kitchen table and everyone loves to watch the designs it makes naturally. It’s affordable, great gift idea and was delivered quickly. May want to keep it up out of a toddlers way though! 😂

Doesn’t really work as it should. I think that the arm bar is too short to really get the pendulum in action with gravity. But they couldn’t make it longer because it’s made of cheap plastic. Even at the small scale, the arm bar is very fragile.
