Fun

My kids liked the kinetic sand it is a fun idea! Loved the option of colours, was very easy for them to use on their own! This one major down side is the sand is so messy gets everywhere no matter how careful they are! I would not recommend this for younger kids or anyone who is a clean freak. I make my kids play outside so the clean up is easier.

Fun for a Short Time

My kids, aged 7 and 8, were SO excited to try this! Upon opening, assembling and trying the product, this is our observations:
- There are plenty of photos to explain how to assemble and use..however they weren’t as helpful as a few added words would be. They didn’t make a lot of sense but it easn’t too hard to figure out on our own.
- The sand is rather clumpy, so breaking it down to the tiny amounts needed to feed the spinner so the brick is even was difficult and the kids were too impatient. Globs went in, slowing the spinner down and requiring more frequent pushing, and the resulting art wasn’t as balanced or pretty.
- The tools were great and the kids loved using them to scoop and chop their creations!
Overall, the kids did love playing with this and probably will again. It’s messy sand..of COURSE they will. But the 3+ age rating was a bit deceiving since I don’t think they would have had an easy time assembling, emptying and using the toy on their own. The photos would be more helpful with a short, step by step, explaination.
