Super invention. This sand was all the rage as a gift. Almost every day the sand of our daughter is used. We as parents have fun on the sand. He actually has a calming effect and can also be after the game wonderfully "together paperboard" and tuck into a bucket. No mess like the sand in the sandbox, but all fun as well as the non-kinetic sand is present. Ramekins, castles, bake cakes. Everything works great.
