Review on SLIMYSAND Moldable Stretchable Expandable Reusable by Tony Ledbetter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

BUYERS BE CAREFUL. Buy a bucket, not a resealable bag.

Check out my attached videos and photos to see the difference This week I bought a few different sizes/colors to use in a preschool sensory basket. I bought a 1.5lb bucket (blue raspberry scent) and a 3lb reusable bag (purple). The slimy sand in the BUCKET (flavored) was perfect. It looked like kinetic sand but was elastic like slime. It held up well and was very flexible. It wasn't sticky and didn't fall apart. However! The slimy sand in the bag didn't stretch at all, didn't even stick together, impossible to shape or do anything with because it all fell apart. It was very grainy, I felt and looked like I had sugar on my hands after I was done with it. It also left a mess on my counter, although I never took it out of my bag. I held it carefully over my hand. I have a 3 pound bag so three students can do a sensor station with me at the same time so it's frustrating not being able to use it. But I'm so glad I bought the bucket! I can order another bucket, but I will definitely refrain from buying large packages. Check out the video and photos to see the difference.
