FUN GAME
I received the Spin Masters Sink N Sand game made with kinetic sand! The game is both fun and educational. The game is age appropriate and we had lots of fun playing together over summer holidays!
Such a fun game
My kids (4 and 5) and I really enjoyed playing this game. It was easy to set up and put away. The game goes pretty quickly so we were able to play a few times. Watching the excitement on their faces was priceless.
Easy Game For Young Kiddos
I got this product free to try and review. I liked that it was super easy to set up my 5 year old did it himself. The rules are super easy to follow. My son had lots of fun playing the game. Each round was fairly short which is nice if you don’t have a lot of time to spend. I liked how the sand has a storage spot at the bottom once you’re done playing. I do think it’s quite a simple game but clearly my son found it fun enough to want to keep playing.
Fun game, one minor thing
I was so excited to receive this game! We played it and had fun! My only complaint was the kinetic sand and the characters… they wouldn’t stay up on their spots! I tried redoing the tiles lighter but then couldn’t see the shapes, and tried not packing it in as tight but the quicksand fell through the sticks even before removing any… too tight or too loose and the characters fell to soon or the sand fell too soon. Other than that, our preschooler had an absolute blast playing and we will for sure add this to our game rotation!
Pretty fun game
If you're looking for a unqiue, fun and quick game, Sink N' Sand is a pretty good choice.
Kinetic Sand already is so fun on it's own, having a game which incorporates the sand is a great idea. I love the theme of it being a quicksand trap!
The set up is cute and able to set it up together with the kids, they helped with inserting the sticks while, I put the actual base together. Another bonus is, you don't need much to start and learn the game fairly quickly. Clean up is also a breeze since with Kinetic Sand, there's not much of a mess! Also the game is designed that the sand falls into the game base which is where you will house the sand when the game is over anyway.
However, I found 3 cons while playing this game.
1. This type of Kinetic Sand is not as fine as the individual ones sold (i think) it's more grainy to me so it's a bit harder. When I try to push the mold into sand to form the mold design, I pushed really hard and I still barely made a design, so definitely a job for a stronger little kid haha.
2. The sand near the edges since there's no support anymore, doesn't fall like how the sand would expect, instead a whole chunk just plops down. It happened near the end and the kids were a bit sadden by that part.
3. Sunk 'n Duncan during pack up does not actually fit inside the base. I took it apart to store it, and if you put Duncan inside, it pops the top up a little and then the lid isn't secure. Unfortunately, due to his lasso, I had to sacrifice him and put him aside in a little baggie for storage, away from his friends.
Other than that, the game is pretty fun for the kids, they can play by themselves actually but of course better together with family and friends. They can also play it as a roleplay too!
keeps the kids busy!
I received this in the mail yesterday ever since I assembled it for my kids(game instructions were extremely helpful) I gave this to my nieces and nephew they had an amazing experience! The kids loved the sand so much that it was super fun they didn’t want to go to bed (had to hide it away!) I found the game to be entertaining and engaging although it seemed at times a little challenging for a 4-5 year old but what I loved about the sand was, it wasn’t messy at all, toxic free, easy to clean the surfaces as well and it doesn’t dry out. This game is great for the family as it adds joy & laughter even between adults we loved it! The little figures that are included, my nephew really enjoyed them and it was interesting to see who’s going to fall into the sand. Definitely recommend this if your looking for a game that is greatly price & will keep the kids occupied.
