Sands Alive: It’s Better Then Being At The Beach! #Review

No one dislikes messy toys more than me. Seriously.  So when I first learned about Sands Alive I was nervous.  Sand is messy, right?  Well yes, the traditional sand that we build castles in at the beach is messy and sticks to your skin and itches and carries germs. A big YUCK from me. Thank the stars Sands Alive is not like traditional sand at all. In fact it is way better!

My kiddos and I recently got to experience Sands Alive first hand and the verdict was unanimous. We loved it! Usually when the kids try something new I hang back and watch, but that is just not possible with Sands Alive.  This stuff is soft and cool to the touch and I just wanted to run my fingers through it for hours… Sorry, I am getting carried away here. I have to remember: kids toy, not mama toy…

Sands Alive is one of those toys your kids will not grow tired of. Mine have played with it many times since we first cracked the box and my day care provider is now the proud owner of her own Sands Alive.  She has my children to thank for their non stop praise of this great toy.  There is so much you can do with your Sands Alive kit because it comes with tons of tools and molds.  The creative thinkers at Incredible Novelties Inc were thinking like a parent when they included a tray to keep the sand in so it does not get everywhere. ( You can’t say that about a certain clay like substance that sounds like “clay-show”) but I digress.

 

 

 

 

 

Aside from the hours of fun your kids will have making sculptures and creating landscapes for their little cars to drive over, Sands Alive is a safe and natural product you can feel good about. The natural, non toxic and organic ingredients create a compound agent that binds together to create an environment in which it is not physically possible for bacteria to grow! Everyone wins when germs are given the boot, right? 

Plus Sands Alive:

• will never dry out
• is non toxic
• is completely bacteria free
• is soft to the touch ( I swear it feels like silk)
• has an educational component
• is easy to mold
• it will hold it’s shape
