This sand is great! Finding a kinetic type sand that is the perfect balance between staying solid and being “flowy” is hard to find. I work as a counselor and kinetic sand has been the most popular item in my office to play/fidget with when talking for both kids and adults of all ages!!! Some find it fun and entertaining while others get a more soothing/calming affect from it. It is a bit stiff feeling right now but this is the first time I’ve bought this brand so maybe that stiffness will soften the more it gets played with. It’s been quite a hit with the clients that I’ve seen so far and they love the new color! That is another thing I am very excited about is the variety of colors! My plan in the future is to definitely stock up on this as I tend to change it out fairly frequently due to all the people that I have coming into my office and playing with it.

Bought this for my 2 1/2 year old son. He adores it. I also purchased some sand molds but those were mainly pointless. The sand is too "hard" to really press clear shapes into so you have to pack the sand into the mold and then dump it out. He's too young to really be into that and the sand doesn't hold together enough to be able to handle anything you make with a mold. He mainly likes driving his trucks around in it and making "roads." I really love the feel of it as well. It's fun and cathartic to play with. It does actually stick to something... silicone. We have several silicone teething toys for our younger son (8 months) as well as silicone cooking utensils and several times the older as taken the younger's toy into the sand and it sticks like crazy. You have to wash it to get it off. Otherwise, it doesn't stick to things and is easy to clean up. Doesn't dry out like playdoh and my son has spent hours and hours playing with it for weeks now. The color doesn't transfer or stain either. Definitely worth the money if you have an active kid cooped up inside!

I purchased this kinetic sand for my two young boys, one whom suffers with sensory issues .. This sand was actually recommended by his therapists who claimed that it would help him. I doubted her judgement but nonetheless purchased the sand along with the shaper accessories. I cant express how amazing this product is!!! Both my sons can play with this for hours, and its been especially helpful for the one with the sensory issues. the texture is amazing, it holds its shape so the kids have been loving creating a whole farm yard or animals with the shapes. I put the whole bag of sand in a big container and we play with it inside the container and arrange the shapes on a board, this makes cleanup and storage easy as 1,2,3. the sand has stayed very soft and fresh , I have to be honest I'm not sure who is enjoying this toy more, mommy or the boys:) the sparkles and bright colors also add a very fun dimension to this product! (iv seen this sand in neutral color before and its just not as appealing to dig into)I highly recommend this product and will be purchasing some additional colors as well. shipping was very fast too. overall very happy customer.

This is pretty nice kinetic sand for kids. My children (ages 12 and 3) both love this stuff. I use to purchase the more expensive brand. Looking for a cheaper alternative, I came across this brand and decided to give it a try.We love the red color and I have seen that there other colors available for purchase that seem interesting and are not always easily found among other brands. It is easily mouldable and fairly easy to clean up. If you are you to the more expensive brand, you can tell a difference in texture. This brand is a bit more stiff and gritty. Although it's still easy to clean up, it's not quite as easy as the more expensive stuff. It's a small sacrifice since you're saving money.My children enjoy playing with this just as much as the more expensive brand, so I wanted to give it 5 stars. I removed one just because of the clean up issue and the texture issue. I wish I could have given it 4.5 stars instead of 4.I will be purchasing this again once we need more refills or would like different colors. This is a good price for the amount that you get.

I had never played with any kind of sand like this before but I had purchased a box of 2 lbs for each of my kids for Christmas. Before Christmas someone had given my daughter the name brand kinetic sand in a very small kit as an early present, and all I could think was, oh dear God - what did I do? I could see the appeal but it was really messy and the few molds that came with the kit, the kinetic sand would get stuck in it and wasn't as workable as it looked on TV. After Christmas my kids ripped into their CoolSand, and I'm so relieved. It's what the kinetic sand should have been. Don't get me wrong, it's still messy. But my kids are messy, to be expected. But the clean up on the stuff is a lot easier, you can actually take a bit of sand to pick up other small bits of sand. It still has that fluid sort of feeling like kinetic sand, but it doesn't get stuck in the molds like the other one. And I had to play with it too to test it, I think it just feels more cool and more moldable, definitely more fun to play with. So pleased with it I just ordered another 2 pounds each kid- which was a tough call to make because I'm pretty poor right now and the stuff is pretty expensive, but the kids love it. Will keep them busy for hours, not to mention the sensory aspect since my daughter is also autistic, and I have to admit I kind of like to play with it too. I also purchased the molds for the sand in the same brand and it just really is the icing on the cake. I absolutely will not even bother trying another brand of play sand after my experience- I'm pretty certain this stuff is probably the best.
