Kinetic sand

A while ago as i was passing through a craft store i happened to come across Kinetic sand that was on display, i touched the sand that was out and had a quick look at it.

 I was in a hurry though and i couldn't make a choice there and then if i should get it so i left it. 

Over the past couple of weeks its gone through my mind and the more i thought about it the more i liked the idea of getting it, i could see no downside.

I was right. 

The only one thing that sticks with me is the price. 

When i do activities i aim to spend as little as possible.

 I created this blog so that i can share my activities with you, so you too- can create sensory activities to enrich your littlies minds with everyday items you may already have in your house. 

So forgive me but yes this one cost.

The link to where you can buy it is here.

But the cost did outweigh the fun the boys had. 

Its such an odd sensation -this kinetic sand.

 Picture if you will a cross between playdough and sand only less squishy.

Its soft and when you grab a handful it flows away from your hand like a waterfall. You can mould things and shapes. It doesn't stick to hands, or tables or carpet (yuss - i love things that dont mark the carpet). 

Its super easy to tidy up and the kids walk away with no mess to clean. 

My boys sat for nearly an hour filling up little jelly moulds and making sandcastles with them, they absolutely enjoyed it.

This activity though is not for littlies who still like to put things in their mouths as though its non toxic its probably not a great idea for it to be swallowed!

I highly recommend the kinetic sand, it can be stored away for another time and its such a great sensory activity- for that fine motor, cognitive and tactile stimulation.
