Great sand for a great price

This is not kinetic sand. It is an off brand. It is still great sand and perfect for the price. It's quite a bit firmer and takes a little conditioning, but still has amazing playability. I think it's better then kinetic sand because it's still fun, and even affordable, especially for younger kids. I got the white sand and it's a clear, pretty white. It melts like kinetic sand but holds shapes a bit better due to it being firmer. Still loads of fun to play with.

Pros
  • Stimulate kids creative skills: Kids can make just what they wish! Pack it, pull it, shape it, cut it, Mold it and love it! This play sand is so incredible you can't put it down
Cons
  • The product's advertised "re-sealable" pack may not actually seal well

Excellent, NOT STICKY, Magic sand

This stuff is great! This is the first brand of foldable sand that we’ve found that isn’t obnoxiously sticky. It was super easy to play with right out of the bag. With just some light crumbling it loosened up and spring to life. We added the tiniest bit of mist from a spray bottle on top. I added a bit too much first and it got a bit sticky but then I just mixed it with the dry sand underneath and it was perfect. Simple clean up and for the first time ever, their clothes weren’t covered in the…

Pros
  • Great for calming hyper children and relaxing therapy
Cons
  • It may be difficult for children with sensory processing issues to handle

Easy clean up! 😃👍

Kept my My 3yr old busy for hours! He plays with his monster trucks and ramps in the sand. I bought a small plastic pool to try to keep everything in one place. Any sand that he "accidentally spilled” More likemy thrown out was easily swept off the hard wood floors or vacuumed off the carpet. (Because he sat in it and then On my carpet) everyone said have a kid there so much fun! Yea they are "fun” in so many ways 😭 ❤️😩🙆🏼‍♀️💙😂

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Children may accidentally ingest the sand, which can be dangerous

Pretty light blue good for me

Daughter loves this sand. Pretty light blue. If you've never tried this kind of sand before, try it. It's pretty cool. The adults played with it alot as well 😊*Update* that last order has lasted 4 or 5 years in good condition and is great stuff! I ordered this again recently for a present and it came dry and crumbly. HELPFUL HINT>> If it comes dry. JUST ADD A COUPLE DRIPS OF WATER TILL ITS HOW YOU WANT IT. I spent a lot of time writing a bad review of the last shipment, just to realize it's a…

Pros
  • The resealable pack helps to keep the sand fresh and clean
Cons
  • The sand may be too hard for some children to mold

Great for creative, imaginative fun!

I introduced this sand to my grandsons, ages 3 and 5. They love it! I set up a plastic table cover either on the table or floor and let them dig in. Unlike regular sand, (and we live in Florida), this coolsand has the ability to be molded perfectly! Sand castles, buildings, etc hold their shape.Over time I've accumulated castle molds, shapes, various animals, etc. If you haven't any sand molds, use your imagination and provide plastic spoons, small containers, forks to make lines, hollow…

Pros
  • Craft Kits
Cons
  • The product could potentially cause a choking hazard

My older son had received kinetic sand for his birthday last year and so my younger son started playing with it and loved it so I decided to purchase him his own for his birthday this year. He loves the color orange so that is why I chose the one I did. It is a lot of fun and he loves that it has sparkles but I don't share in that love--they get all over whatever he touches after he plays and the sparkles make it have an odd texture compared to other kinetic sand. The sand works great though so

Pros
  • CoolSand is moldable: sticks only to itself and not to you or your clothes! Now offering refill packages for even more creative fun. It's the squeezable sand where you can feel the fun!
Cons
  • The product may not be as customizable as other molding sand products

The Grandkids Love It!

I am absolutely thrilled with this product! I had a supply of the "name brand" sand that had finally dried out (after 5 years!) I was unable to find the "name brand" sand anywhere locally and the on-line prices were quite a bit higher then I wanted to pay. I ordered CoolSand in 3 different colors and the grands just LOVE it. It has the perfect consistency that they look for in this type of play sand. I am 100% satisfied with the price, the product and the delivery. Call me super

Pros
  • For summer fun
Cons
  • The sand can become easily stuck in clothing

Love this sand: my feedback

My kids have played for hours with it. I hid sea animals in it and we pretended it was the ocean. I bought 2 bags so each child had some to play with. I highly recommend cool sand.

Pros
  • CoolSand is a great way for kids to learn about cause and effect as they mold and shape the sand
Cons
  • The sand may not be as fun or engaging as other indoor play options

Don’t get much for my opinion

Shocked when it arrived that it was such a small amount.Gift for grandniece as advised by the mother. Wish I had bought more than one.Delivery was slow (but not over expected date) so by the time it arrived I didn’t have time to order more.

Pros
  • 4 grandchildren ages 2 to 6 all loved it and spent hours playing.Would purchase again.
Cons
  • The purple color was fine but the black is all dried out and very hard and crumbly.

Pretty good best in my review

Good to play with but we really couldn't use any molds with it. Otherwise it feels nice, doesn't stick (which is why you can't make molds) to your hands, and the Red is a pretty color. I agree with others the red more like a p

Pros
  • The smooth texture of the sand is soothing and calming for children who have anxiety or stress
Cons
  • The sand may not be as fine as advertised, making it difficult to mold

So much fun.and sparkly

Wonderful stuff! Exactly what has been promised in it's reviews and so much fun for the kids. The only warning I would give is that the sparkly stuff does have a tendency to leave glittery traces on your table if you're not thorough about clean up! And more sparkly stuff on your hands! I would recommend it for older kids (I teach middle school) just because they are a little more careful in their clean up process. If you're worried about sparkles finding their way into places you don't want…

Pros
  • Kids can create an endless array of shapes and designs with the moldable sand
Cons
  • The sand may not hold its shape as well as other molding sand products

How to Make it better

So I bought this not realizing it was off brand. To be honest, I was really disappointed with how it performed so I added water to make it more like the name brand.did I stop there?no, I also added essential oil to it so now, as a college student, my room smells like lavender while I simultaneously relieve my anxieties.

Pros
  • The refill pack is affordable and allows parents to get the most out of their original CoolSand kit
Cons
  • The sand may be too fine for some children's hands to work with

Definitely not white

This sand is definitely beige - not even a debate about if it could be considered white. Extremely disappointed as I was planning to use it as snow for the grandkids in a Christmas sensory bin. If you are looking for something that will look like snow don't buy this product.

Pros
  • Moldable Fun can be used to help teach kids about shapes, colors, and textures
Cons
  • The product may not provide enough sand for extended play sessions

Not white! in my review

Wrong color! I ordered white sand and the sand was natural sand color (off-white/ecru/tan), not white. The sand on the left was white sand from last year and it still was whiter than the sand on the right from CoolSand.

Pros
  • The sand is non-toxic, making it safe for children to play with
Cons
  • The sand may not be suitable for outdoor play

Buying more: UPDATE

Loooooove it! So good!UPDATE: I purchased this in 2017 for my kids and they absolutely loved it. They played with it every day for hours! Now it is 2020 and we moved into a new home and unpacking our boxes found the sand. My girls wanted to play with it and I was reluctant to say the least that it would still be able to do so. We pulled out the sand and lo and behold.EXACTLY like the day we bought it! A little spray of water and was like new! Absolutely incredible product! Could not be happier…

Pros
  • Moldable Fun provides a fun and unique alternative to traditional art supplies
Cons
  • The product's resealable feature may not be as convenient as advertised

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…

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

Hours of fun in my review

The product is good, it is what I expected. I would choose to buy a bigger pack if I could do it again.My child is crazy for it, and though I don’t love the mess, it’s worth it!

Pros
  • The sand never dries out, ensuring that it can be used over and over again
Cons
  • The product may be too costly for some families

It’s alright good for me

It’s not as soft as the Kinetic sand brand, but it sticks and does keep children entertained regardless. It’s a brighter red, and thankfully doesn’t stain, as some cheap sands do.

Pros
  • September 11, 2017
Cons
  • The sand may be too dry for some children's hands to mold

White is NOT White - my new review

The white on the picture is white. It is really beige! I was going to use it as snow for elf on a shelf in my classroom, but it is not even close!

Pros
  • The Moldable Fun refill pack is perfect for keeping indoors during the colder months
Cons
  • The sand may not be easy to clean up
