Sparkling Purple Amethyst 2 Pound Refill Pack - Moldable Indoor Play Sand in Resealable Bag

4 grandchildren ages 2 to 6 all loved it and spent hours playing.Would purchase again.

Easy to play with. Simple clean up. Doesn't dry out.

So listen: My little buddy is super into this stuff! I did some research and people RAVE about this brand! But I was vexed a bit, because they either sell you a tiny portion for 10 bucks or sell ya an INSANE amount for a high price. Anywho, I got both of the brands: the BIG, GIANT, COOL, top of the line original “KINETIC SAND” (WITH toys & accessories includes) and this wee little ten buck bag of CoolSand for the heck of it. I gave it to the kid for Christmas. He unwrapped the big Kinetic Sand brand and he was stoked!! He unwrapped this glorified ziploc full of neon green CoolSand and looked at it kind of oddly. He’s a grateful kid, but kids are honest and can’t hide how they feel lol. And it truly is just a .. kind of.. glorified bag of color. No exciting packaging. So his face was sort of like.. “ehhh what’s this?”We opened both. The ENTIRE FAMILY got into it! All of us adults, one kid and a baby who just wanted to eat it all. And the verdict: We ALL LOVVVVED THE COOLSAND! I asked my little buddy how he liked them, he hated the Kinetic Sand brand and loves the CoolSand. He says the kinetic sand smells weird and feels sticky. I agree. So get this one. Your kids may look at it with disdain initially, but they’ll love it.

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.

It's fun and relaxing, but it is not as soft and runny as other moldable/kinetic sands I've used in the past. It dries up and hardens very easily, and need to be adding water to soften it again. Not a huge deal and still works, just other better quality versions out there

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.

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.

Great for the price, but it seems more gritty than the original magic sand. I’m not sure if that correlates to the glitter or just the fact it’s from a different manufacturer. For the kids it was perfect. For my ASMR/ satisfaction… whatever you call it, I was left disappointed and wanting a softer product.
