Magical unicorn fun
This was the perfect edition to our unicorn play date and we had so much fun mixing all of the colourful and sparkly Kinectic Sand. We had so much fun making different shapes for our unicorn friends.
Loads of colourful fun!
This is a really great toy overall! There are four different colours of sand allowing for lots of creative options! The sand is also a great, calming sensory stimuli that I appreciated. There is a subtle glitter to the sand as well, that was a nice surprise for us all.
The only drawbacks are: although the kinetic effect of the sand is cool, it makes detailing things much more frustrating. We made a few small detailed items that slinked into nothingness as we placed them. There also could definitely be MORE sand to begin with - the box is deceptive as that scene would require much more sand to create!
Lastly, I assume that since the sand slinks, the pooping unicorn would be a breeze. They actually took a lot of effort to get going.
These are minor issues overall, though! It was a very fun toy that we look forward to using again and again! So many lovely details and tools to create a wide variety of fantastic scenes!
Fun for all ages
This is a great toy (?) for people of all ages, my younger sister (7) LOVED it, but my brother who was a bit older also found a lot of comfort in using it for his sensory issues.
Fun product for about 10 minutes
The packaging of the box was bright and colourful and the products inside looked equally as bright and colorful. Upon opening the sand I found the texture unique, it didn’t stick to your hands, didn’t make a mess and mould it to a shape really well. This was supposed to be something that you could make a unicorn eat and it would come out the back end and that part did not work at all. My kids are five and 12 years old and both found within 10 minutes they were bored of this product. They ended up finding some other utensils and mould within the house to try but all in all it’s a very limited product because once you make a few shapes there’s really nothing you could do with it.
My kids said they probably never play with it again.
Such a fun toy!
My kids had a blast playing with kinetic sand kit. It is much easier to clean up than Play doh, and it doesn't dry out. This provides hours of fun. #FamilyRatedClub #tryitfree #freesample #freetoy #happykids
So much fun!
Our kids loved this! So much fun. The container held the sand well, the unicorn pooping was entertaining, and the product was really great. The sparkle was a great extra touch! They loved setting up scenes with the unicorn and rainbow.
Great entertainment for my toddler!
My little one loved this activity. She just turned 2 and loved manipulating the sand between her fingers and putting it into the moulds. The only small complaints were that the sparkles come off all over her hands and then her face when she touched it (but came out easily with handwashing). Also, the little unicorn it came with didn't work so well, the sand gets stuck inside, but she still enjoyed playing with it.
This would make a great gift!
I received a Kinetic Sand Shimmer, Unicorn Kingdom Playset for free to review. Unfortunately the younger kids I thought were going to be here to play with it, are not here but I told my 12 year old daughter about it and she came over to check it out right away.
The colours are gorgeous! Nice and bright. The cardboard pieces are cute and thick enough to handle children, for awhile anyhow. Though I could see the rainbow getting bent quicker than the rest. My 12 year old enjoyed how it felt. Very soft but not at all sticky. She did have sparkles all over her hands after she was done. Something to keep in mind, again, for younger kids. The unicorn would probably appeal to younger girls as it eats and "poops". The tray that came with it was fantastic as it is a good size and made for easy clean up.
All in all we felt that it was very visually appealing and fairly versatile that it could be played with often and not get bored of it. The colours did blend when they were used together. I feel it would be perfect as a birthday or Christmas gift!
Great entertaining toy
My kids loved playing with this - especially found it hilarious that it included a “pooping unicorn” although they said it was tough to clean out after each use. They enjoyed mixing the various sand colours together and there was a generous amount of sand in the kit. My eldest mentioned the perforations for the cardboard cutout were difficult to remove and peeled off some of the printing.
Lots of Creative Fun
My daughter was thrilled with the Kinetic Sand Unicorn set. The set comes with a unicorn who can make it's own 'unicorn poop', which provides endless amusement in our home. The kit comes with four packages of coloured sand, white, purple, pink and real...all prime unicorn colours. There are several stamps and molds that kids can use to create a magical scenerio. I like Kinetic sand in general because it allows my kids room to create and because it is easy. It is easy to play and build and it is easy to clean-up. Since you can re-use the sand it provides hours of fun.
