Carolart Colorful Stretchy Sand Kit, Value Pack of 10 Colored Moldable Play Sand for Kids, Bulk Refill for Sensory Bin, Sensory Toys for Molding, Travel Toys for Girls and Boys Ages 3+

​I picked this up for my daughter, and it’s been a fantastic find. The texture is great—it’s stretchy and moldable but doesn't leave a huge mess all over the floor like regular sand. ​The colors are really vibrant, and the value for a 5-pack is hard to beat. It keeps her busy for a long time, and I love that it’s easy to pack. Definitely a must-have for any parent looking for low-stress sensory play!

This is more akin to dough than sand, but I the best way. It's so soft, addictively fluffy, not sticky at all, and doesn't dry out. It's sand-like in that is made of tiny particles. In the info section it said it's made of plastic. It's low mess because it only sticks to itself. My toddler, who will eat lotion if she gets her hands on it, tasted this and was not impressed, which is great, obviously. It says it's not toxic, though I'm glad she didn't ingest any. The colors are nice and don't stain; my daughter loves to mix them and learn about colors.

This stuff is so cool! The texture is super soft and stretchy, but when you squish it together it almost feels like play-dough. The kids are obsessed with it, and honestly, so am I. The colors are really bright and it doesn’t dry out easily, which is a huge plus. I’ve tried to figure out how it’s made—Alexa told me to mix flour and oil (big mistake), and Gemini suggested cornstarch and conditioner (even bigger fail). I even tried mixing kinetic sand with a bunch of things and still couldn’t get anything close. So whatever this is, the formula is a mystery… but a really good one! If anyone knows how to make cloud-style sand at home, let me know, because I’d love to try. But until then, I can honestly say this product is worth it. Even as an adult, I enjoy stretching and playing with it. I have arthritis in my hands, and it’s surprisingly helpful for keeping them moving—and it’s great for stress, too. The kids have stayed busy for hours with it. Definitely recommend!

Definitely not the same as kinetic sand. Kids love it, and less messy than kinetic sand I would say, but more stiff, less pliable, and strong chemical smell to it. I personally prefer kinetic sand over this stuff.

Very stretchy and cool for the kids to play with! Love it. Easy to use. This sand quality is to tier!!

I was really disappointed with this product. It was supposed to be kinetic sand, but what I received feels more like clay. The texture is completely different, the amount is very small, and the quality is poor. It looks nothing like the pictures — the photos make it seem like you get a lot of real kinetic sand, but that’s not true. It’s definitely not worth the price.

I thought this would be more like kinetic sand, but it is even better. Super cool stretchy sand. We have had a slime that was similar to this when you stretch it, it had that look to it, except for this we just get that effect instead of it being slimy and it is super cool. Very mess free, no stickiness. Great colors, could make a nice gift. Nice size. Comes with a little color chart for mixing fun. Made some awesome different colors. Value is very good. Kids will have fun for hours.
