You might be surprised to know that kinetic sand is actually 98 percent regular sand. However, the other two percent is what gives it its unique qualities. To make kinetic sand, regular sand is coated in polydimethylsiloxane and silica. This creates the texture of kinetic sand and actually turns it into a non-Newtonian fluid, which means it can flow like a liquid when it is under pressure but just fall apart when the pressure is removed. Try squeezing the kinetic sand and see what happens when you apply more pressure versus when you stop applying pressure. Create your own ice cream treats with 1lb of all-natural scented Kinetic Sand! This set includes Strawberry (pink), Chocolate (brown) and Vanilla (white) delightfully scented sand!

It’s been four years since I wrote this post and let me share the “update:” My kids are more committed to kinetic sand than ever before. Kinetic sand is a great way to help kids unwind. The sand has a stress-relieving quality thanks to it’s unique feel. Playing with the sand, squeezing it into shapes and running it through their fingers can help kids wind down after an overstimulating day. Mix, mold and create your own ice cream sundaes, waffles, ice cream cookie sandwiches and ice cream cones! Kinetic Sand never dries out, so you can create again and again! Always supervise young children when they are playing with kinetic sand to ensure they don’t put any in their mouths. It is not safe to consume in any quantity, and it’s important to remind little ones to always wash their hands after playing with kinetic sand. My kids love the roller – making the sand smooth is a big deal. They love making “parking lots” and “lawns” in their sensory sand.UPDATED 2022: This post was a sponsored post for Lakeshore in 2018. However, it’s worth noting that my children still play with this same kinetic sand set (4 years later). You’ve got to jump on this bandwagon. I love (yes, I said I, as in me – a 35-year-old mom of 3) running my hands through it. You never get over how cool it feels.

My kids got this set from Grandma after we saw it in a Lakeshore Learning store in 2017. Now it’s 2022 and these tools, sand, and buildings are still with us.Kinetic sand moves and molds, bends and cuts in a way that is completely different from other sensory bases. It has a velvety smooth texture – it isn’t gritty like sand. This isn’t going to get in your toddler’s eye like traditional sand will. Great for Pretend PlayIce cream cones, ice cream sandwiches and other tasty treats are on the menu with this kit.
