Royal Play Sand

I hate writing bad reviews. I really do hate it. I was super excited about trying this product. We came across the kinetic sand at Lakeshore and my Autistic son fell right in love with it. But it just was out of my price range. I went home and searched Amazon. And thought ok I will give this a try. I should have listened to the other reviewers. This product was hard like when brown sugar gets hard but a bit harder. Both packages, I bought two of these came that way. And the shipping weight on here says a pound. This is nowhere near a pound. The two I bought together might have been a pound. But one is not a pound. So I mashed it and mashed it till I could get most the clumps out of it. And I had bought an add on same brand I think. Just a bigger box and it was not hard like this. I should have bought two of those add ons and could kick myself. Because these ones were a complete joke. So I mixed it with that to give it more moisture. And it started taking on the appearance of a kinetic type sand. It is soft enough to where my son will now play with it. before he would not touch it because it was too hard. And I bought this for his sensory table. So it is irritating. With it all added up I could have just bought the real thing. But I thought I was getting more and a better deal. Lesson learned. Just stick to name brands with certain things. I wanted that kinetic sand sensory experience for him. I should have not went cheap. In fact, I could have made my own with sand and baby oil for cheaper. Oh and the smell. I may have to toss this all in the end. It has a bad smell. And he keeps frowning. If he ends up not using it based off of the smell alone due to his Autism. I just wasted money for sure. If you have a special needs child DO NOT BUY THIS. just get the real stuff or make your own so it smells good. The name brand never smelled like this though.

It came in rock hard pieces so i thought if i play with it than it might come softer so i tried and it came a bit softer but when you stop playing with it the next time it was rock hard again so i decided to put some water in and i put way to much so it was wet and disgusting so i googled what you can do so it said put some corn starch and it worked so i tried using it but it stunk so bad and it didn't work like how its supposed to work so i just threw the whole thing in the garbage and went to five below and got regular kinetic sand it it felt so much better and i couldn't believe why i bought royal play sand i would recommend not to buy thus sand tou can just buy regular kinetic sand that is way better than royal play sand.

our package also received hard as a rock and will not mold as advertised; this stuff is junk and probably explains the price; if shipping wasn't as much as it originally cost, it'd definitely be going back - what a waste!

Hard as a rock, so disappointed, the kids can't even enjoy it.

The sand is not as soft as I thought it would be. It's very clumpy and messy. Not easy to mold. My students didn't really like it.

It was okay, it isn't as loose as the kinetic sand you see in satisfying videos. That's what I was hopeing for.

A little dry but worth the money.

Sorry I had to trash it as it is since it was not on s condition to play with it was hard like a stone we tried to soften it by keeping it sealed but it never worked out wasted my money on it
