Sweet Sand Box Fun!

My son and I were happy to review this fun Kinetic Sand Portable Playset from Spin Master toys called "Sandyland". We got it for free from the Family Rated Club through Chick Advisor. The Sandyland playset is made with natural sand, and comes with a total of 2lbs of Kinetic Sand. This includes 1lb of Brown Colored Kinetic Sand, 0.5lb Teal Colored Kinetic Sand, and the crowd pleasing 0.5lb Pink Colored Strawberry Scented Kinetic Sand. Additional sand sold separately. The playset also comes with over 15 Tools, including: 7 Molds for making sweet treats (like cupcakes, cookies & ice cream cones); 2 Stamps; 6 Toppings; a sheet of cardboard Punch-Outs, & one Spatula. We both like the handy case. You can play in it, then fold up your scene for quick storage. My son said there was enough sand in the kit, but he wishes that the Brown & Teal colored sands were also scented! He says the Brown Colored Kinetic Sand should smell like chocolate, and the Teal Colored Kinetic Sand should smell like vanilla. It would seem like a good fit for the playset. I think this Sandyland playset makes a great sensory toy for little kids ages 3 and up. My son enjoyed playing with this set, and thinks kids around 5 & 6 years old will enjoy playing with this set the most. Thank you very much for selecting our family for this opportunity to test out this fun game! #FamilyRatedClub #FamilyRated #gotitfree #SpinMaster

More sand would have been helpful

I used this kit with my preschool class and I was disappointed with the amount of sand that was provided with the kits you would most definitely need to buy additional sand to achieve what was displayed on the packaging. Other than that the kids enjoyed

Loads of fun

We got this product for my daughter and she absolutely loved it. The kinetic sand feels like a mixture of slime and sand which is a great sensory feeling. It is also fairly mess free. The kinetic sand smelt like strawberries as well which was really cool! The product comes with a ton of accessories to make all sorts of things from cookies, cupcakes to castles. My daughter built a candy village using the moulds and cardboard cut outs that come with the sandy land kit. The best part is you can build everything in the case it comes in for future fun. My daughter spent a couple hours playing with this toy so it was a bonus for mom too to be able to get some chores done. Win win. I would definitely recommend this kit.

So much fun!

We loved the Kinetic Sand Sandyland set! We are big fans of kinetic sand in this house, and this set didn’t disappoint! The sand comes in 3 colours, a really pretty teal and pink. The pink even smells like strawberry! My kids enjoyed creating their own ‘castle land’ as they called it. They used all of the accessories to make cupcakes, ice cream, sandwiches and more treats. They had fun arranging the different coloured sand into a sidewalk, water fountain and pond full of gummy bears. The cardboard push out pictures of the castle, candy canes, lollipop etc. were a nice addition, although I’m not sure they’ll hold up too long. As a parent, I love that this set comes with a container they can play in as well as store all of the sand and pieces in.

Kids loved it!

My kids absolutely loved playing with the Kinetic Sand Sandyland! It is so cute and you can be so creative with so many ways to create and play with this set. My kids really love cooking/baking related activities, so this was extremely fun for them. They also were a huge fan of the strawberry scent. This literally kept them occupied for the entire afternoon. The texture of the sand is also super fun and different from regular sand. It was a thumbs up from my kids!

Sensory play for the win!

This kinetic sand kit has been an absolute saviour this week! Baking 'treats' is always a go-to with our sensory play, so this Sandyland kit was a sure winner. My five year old has been playing chef for days, and my two year old has been having a blast figuring out how to manipulate the sand and use all the tools. And you know what . . . I can't keep my hands off it! I love the way it feels, love that it's easy to clean up (in theory, the bin contains everything, but my kids won't be contained, but it is so easy to glob it up off the floor). I think this will be replacing our dough play . . . and I see some more sand in our future.

So fun and smells amazing

Really fun. We will buy kinetic sand again and again. We’ve bought it previously and keeps the boys occupied for hours at a time. It’s satisfying to watch and touch and feel.

Loved it!

As a mom, I super appreciated this playset as Kinetic Sand is an excellent way for my daughter to exercise her creativity, apply her fine motor skills and it keeps her busy for a solid amount of time. We also loved that it smells like delicious strawberries!

So much fun

My kid loved this product. It was a lot of fun playing together. It was easy to use and it was different enough from regular sand that it became an instant hit. We watched a bit of YouTube to get some cool ideas. #gotitfree

Melts in your hands!

This toy is fantastic for any age! It has a sweet strawberry smell that is delightful. The way the sand melts in your hands but stays firm when you use one of the many accessories that come with it is fascinating. It’s very relaxing and makes an excellent sensory toy. The sand is non-toxic and it’s bright and colourful. It’s mess-free which is a huge bonus! The cardboard cutouts added some extra special fun to the masterpieces my daughter was making. This would make a great gift for any child!
