Revainrating 5 out of 5

This stuff is great!

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.

Pros
  • CoolSand is easy to clean up and doesn't leave a mess
Cons
  • The product may not be suitable for use in certain molds or shapes

I purchased for my 3 year old daughter for her birthday. She really enjoys playing with it. As do I and her older brothers (13 & 12). It’s relaxing and has a neat feeling texture to it. First experience with this type of product. My daughter does make a mess with it, but it’s easy to clean off the hardwood floors and even off the furniture. I plan on purchasing more colors in the future. Gave only 4 stars because of the price.
