Product Description

Sand by Brookstone Net WT(2.2)LBS(1KG). Sand by Brookstone. 98% sand. 2% polymer. 100% FUN. Special properties make it soft and stretchy. Won't make a mess (sticks to itself but not to you). Never dries out. Non-toxic. Choice of Large: 2.2 lbs of SAND. Small: 12 ozs of SAND - For ages 5 and up * WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not intended to be eaten. Introducing SAND, the packable, stretchable - and just incredible - stuff you'll simply never put down. Unlike beach or play sand, SAND has special properties that make it soft and stretchy. Build something big, something small. Let it flow through your fingers. You'll be fascinated as it oozes, moves, and melts right before your eyes - just like a slow-moving liquid. Great for children and adults, at home or in the office. You'll never put it down (Trust us - we can't either!) Aside from playing with it every chance we get, we found that SAND is also great for: Goofing off in the office; Distracting co-workers; Building castles; Making shapes and faces; Writing messages; Reducing stress. It won't make a mess and never dries out. SAND is kinetic - that means it's designed to stick to itself but not to you. It flows through your fingers just like wet sand, but leaves them completely dry and mess-free. And no matter how you pull, stretch and separate SAND (even if some gets on the floor), it always recombines easily. No vacuum cleaners or mops needed. But here's the best part: when you're ready to break out the SAND again, it's just the same as it was when it came out of the jar. It never dries out and needs no liquid additives. If it does get wet, just let it dry out before playing with it again. It's that easy. You've seen it before, but you've never felt anything like it.

Various brands of kinetic sand do not flow the way this one does. I got two pounds for a good price. It feels cool to the touch and soft as it falls apart. For a mind that never stops like mine, this has helped me relax.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I love my Sand!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Most people seem to be interested in this product for their kids, etc; which is great. I bought it because it looked intriguing as I was researching zen gardens. When I saw it's movement, I had to order it for myself just for fun. Well, I got it in 2 days (with Prime) and was ecstatic because I didn't expect it for another day due to a holiday and I couldn't wait to get it! Anyway, the part that made me give it 5 stars was it is such a stress reliever. I can't help picking up handfuls and just watching it pour down to the plate. It sort of rolls off itself and morphs into a flatter shape that I can't seem to take my eyes off of. It's a great way to "zone out" and/or fidget, especially if you have a lot of nervousness and anxiety like I do. This is sort of a mental vacation for awhile and would probably work well when a lot of people are visiting. It has a very interesting texture that I've never felt before. I would say it's a lot like wet beach sand or brown sugar. The polymer stuff kinda reminds me of marshmallow. It sort of looks like it would be sticky but it's not. Everything about it tricks my brain into thinking it's going to be something other than what it is. I love it. (AND it has a container)

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed with the presentation.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    The jar the sand came in was scratched up and looks like it had been banged around. There was also no seal on the jar; for all I know someone could have been playing with it for a few weeks and returned it. I would be less fussy if I bought it for myself, but it was bought as a gift.

    EDIT: Presentation issues aside, the sand itself is is awesome, very fun to play with. Makes a great unique gift for people of all ages.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware
    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    What I received appears to be a generic version of sand. It came in a bag, not a jar as pictured and it crumbles when I try and play with it. It gets all over the place the way sand from the beach does. It does not stick to itself the way the other real "Sand" does that I purchased in the past. I have to brush off my hands when I play with it, just like you do on the beach. Comparing the "Sand" that comes in the jar with this bag I just received from Amazon I am convinced someone made this and tried to sell it off as the real stuff. From reading the reviews it appears that others did get the jar of sand. I don't know why I got a bag of fake stuff.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I love sand! But packaging issue...
    Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I love brookestone sand (and if you have never played with it, you need to. It can keep me busy for hours! :) ) but when I got this I opened up the box to find that the plastic lid had broken and there was sand all over the inside of the box. And because of some humidity, it was wet and stuck to my hands real bad. I tried to collect it all and put it in a container and I contacted the company and they were great about it! They responded quickly and gave me a full refund with an apology. (Though I was hoping for a lid so I can store it in the original container) but I am glad that they took care of the issue and as long as they have enough padding in the box it should be fine. Usually the product is wonderful and don't let this review keep you from buying the sand. It's seriously some awesome stuff :)

    It was not the same quality as my other sand from Brookstone. I mixed it not thinking, and then looking at it and playing with it- it's not the same as the sand I bought a year ago for my play therapy room. Just disappointed.

    Purchased this product for my home "grandchildren's toy box" and also as a gift for their preschool. Amazing! The kids just love it and ask to play with it almost every time they visit. I bought two and dumped them into a large size plastic storage container. We usually then dump it all into the container cover on the kitchen floor and they play for an hour or more. It's very easy to clean up, doesn't dry out and is just, well, amazing. Their licensed preschool teacher has been equally delighted and she has extremely high standards. There are some knockoffs out there for the same money or more but with more colorful packaging. Don't be fooled. Brookstone doesn't have the same retail exposure as some of the other retail outlets so you have to trust the reviewers here. We have looong winters here in New Hampshire but have loved our beach days with Sand!

    5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THIS CRAZY (Probably Government) SAND!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    It's got the consistency of like cookie dough with sand in it....you can let it flow slowly out of your hand. It doesn't get dry ever because it's not really wet. Hard to describe. It keeps its shape when packed into forms, but then can be destroyed and played with again, kind of like sand at the beach that has a little water in it. I got the brookstone sand box for it, which came with a smoothly sanded knife-like tool and a round "cup" form. Definitely a great gift! 2 1/2 year old and 6 year old both loved it. Occupied them for hours despite having so many other toys. Imagination at work!!!! Doesn't get all over the place, and if a bit of it gets somewhere it shouldn't, you can just pick it up with a lump of the sand and it will stick to itself. Better than I expected.

    If you like legos, the beach, silly putty, snowballs, grow orbs, or grew up in the 80s you or your children will enjoy this sand. It delivers, but its not the cheapest or feature filled option. It does, in my opinion have the best jar of all the brands I viewed. Skip the accessories,don't pay $40 for a box and some cookie cutters, instead go to your local hobby and craft store and find something to play with it in.
