Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was so disappointed in this sand. I have tried another brand of kinetic sand that was amazing. It clung together as if it was magnetic, leaving no mess either on the table surface or my hands. I thought this blue sand would be an amusing thing to have out on my coffee table to let people play with. I love National Geographic magazines and their specials, and I thought they would have a high quality sand. This sand was terrible. No, it was worse than terrible. It didn't clump together, it stained my fingers and the table surface blue, and it had no cool texture like the other brand I purchased does.b. There were also bits of sand all over the floor and table top as well. That shouldn't happen with the proper specialty sand. I packaged it back up and sent it back. I then purchased the Kinetic sand here on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IG4YB5W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and it was exactly the same as the sand that I remembered playing with in a store. It leaves no residue on your hands or your work surface. It clings together in the most amazing and satisfying way. I transferred it to a shallow wooden tray that I had and added a few homemade tools to add to the creativity. I fashioned a rake, a tiny shovel, and a few small shaped cup-like containers for building with. These were all made from Fimo and bamboo skewers. I haven't had company in the last few days since I put it out on the table, but I have found myself picking up the tray and playing with it myself. It is oddly satisfying and I am amazed that it isn't messy at all. And it does not dry out. I strongly urge you NOT to buy this product or you will be disappointed. And blue. Pick up the other brand to see what this sand is supposed to be like.
