Advantages: Sand can be used again and again Disadvantages: Very messy, doesn't work like the box states
So most kids love sand, including mine that are both boys aged 3 and 5. And what could be better than having sand that you use in water, has minimal mess, and can be used over and over again? No more sand in eyes, no more sand in shoes, socks, and underwear. Great idea! Well that is until you actually start to use it!
I bought the whole magic sand kingdom, which was priced at £14.99, so thought it was a bargain. There were lots of different brightly ... ...a tray to hold everything including the large bowl to do all the sand sculpting in.
So we all fill up the big bowl, excitedly sort out all the tools and other items, and choose the sand that we want to use. First obstacle to overcome was actually trying to get into the sand bottles.

Advantages: WATER FUN FOR THE KIDS - INSIDE AND OUTSIDE? Disadvantages: MESSY AND HARD TO MAKE SCULTURES! - A WASTE OF TIME!
HAVING BEEN NAGGED BY MY KIDS TO BUY 'MAGIC SAND' - AFTER THEY HAD SEEN IT ADVERTISED ON TV I DECIDED TO BUY SOME FOR THEM AND A FRIEND.
NOW THE IDEA APPEARS TO BE A GREAT ONE - BRIGHTLY COLOURED SAND THAT YOU PUT IN A BOWL , PLAY AND MOULD WITH UNDER WATER AND WHEN YOU TAKE IT OUT OF THE WATER IT IS MAGICALLY DRY!
WELL THE REALITY IS QUITE DIFFERENT - TRUE UNDER WATER IT IS LIKE GUNGY CLAY AND ABOVE DRY SAND BUT WHAT THEY DONT TELL YOU IS THAT ... ...IN OR OUT OF THE WATER.
MY KIDS COULDNT MAKE ANYTHING WITH IT APART FROM A BIG PILE AND WHEN YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE WATER LITTLE BITS OF SAND FLOAT ON THE SURFACE. BASICALLY THEY WERE BORED WITH IT IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES
YOU ARE SUPPLIED WITH A 'SCULPTING' TOOL BUT IT IS PRETTY USELESS APART FROM DIGGING HOLES. ALSO THE JOYS OF TRYING TO GET THE SAND BACK IN THE BOTTLE WITH OUT LOSING HALF OF IT IS A MOTHERS NIGHTMARE.
YES ITS NOT EXPENSIVE, UNDER ...
