Kinetic Sand, Construction Site Folding Sandbox Playset with Vehicle and 907g, for Kids Aged 3 and Up

I bought this for my 29-month-old son and we play with it together. I do think some parts are still a bit advanced for his age right now, especially the crane arm mechanism, as he doesn’t fully understand how to operate it yet and cannot attach or remove it by himself. Because of that, we mostly use the dump truck, mould the sand into bricks, and enjoy simple construction play together — which is still a lot of fun. I also read many reviews saying the crane tower would not stay upright and kept falling over, with some people even posting videos about it. However, the set I received is completely different. The crane base locks firmly into place and stands very securely. I even tried pushing it intentionally and it still did not fall down at all. You actually have to pull it upward properly to remove it from the base, so I personally feel some of those comments may be misleading. The kinetic sand itself is lovely. I received two packs of sand and honestly think the amount is very reasonable. The texture is soft, mouldable, and satisfying to touch, just like other Kinetic Sand products. It holds shapes well and my son especially enjoys loading the dump truck and making little bricks. We didn’t use the folding sandbox case much yet because my son is still quite young and I know he would make a huge mess with it. Instead, I transferred everything into a deeper sensory tray, which worked much better for us. The box is still very useful for storage though. Overall, I’m very happy with the quality and would definitely keep this set. It’s something we can continue using in different ways as my son grows older and understands more imaginative construction play.

You could end up playing with this yourself it’s that good fun! The bricks are made by pressing the Kenetic Sand in well. Kept my grandchild amused for hours! Worth every penny. Only draw back is the crane is not very solid when attached to its base, so might need anchoring down better. With supervision from 2.5 years could play with it, packs away nicely in its box. Used along side the Matt which is worth a buy.

Brought as a gift. Was well received

Great starter set of kinetic sand for my toddler! I like that you can store it away in the box and it’s not too messy to store then! Comes with sand and a few accessories but I did have to buy a lot more sand to fill up the box a bit more! Though beware as too much sand in the box means the box doesn’t then shut properly to close! The crane part does break off easily so isn’t the sturdiness, but it’s not a big deal as easy to pop it back on again. 4 stars as I find it could be a bit cheaper in price to be honest as you don’t get a lot for your money!

Great for kids,kids love it

Havnt stopped playing with this. Good size and plenty of sand to play with.

Amazing gift item

Overall the set has provided a lot of fun. The sand moulds well and the truck can be easily used to mould bricks. I can see this appealing to a wide age range. The box is a sturdy and colorful, making it easy to store sand to reuse. It is a good size and stores a large amount compactly. The thing that lets this set down is the crane. It doesn't secure to the base, as the image might suggest and constantly falls apart and breaks making it difficult to use. My 3 year old found this so frustrating I had to hide it. Although an older child might have more patience, I actually think it was pretty impossible to operate successfully as an adult and just feels a poor quality.

Un acierto, lo recomiendo

Ce kit de sable magique a beaucoup été utilisé par mon fils Il y a passé des heures de jeux jusqu’à ses 7 ans environ Pratique car le double bac permet de limiter les dégâts en terme de débordements Sable de qualité je recommande

My son is 3.5 years old about to be 4 soon. I've been looking for toys that invite free play & creativity into his everyday learning. I am a stay at home mom with him & his sister so naturally, I am always on the search for toys that keep interest for more than just a few times. I actually came across the idea of the "kinetic sand" off the "Lakeshore Learning" website. I recently discovered the brand "LakeShore Learning" after a librarian told me that the toys they have & the schools utilize this brand. I went onto their website & discovered many different fun educational games & toys that gave me ideas. I searched some on Amazon to see if they were available or for a better price. My son loves his very first kinetic sand set! He loves the demon truck it comes with & how it makes bricks when you dump the sand out. We have even placed his other toys in it as well from his Little People Construction Site. We have placed seashells & even his pirate jewels into the sand to make the shape of it. I love that you truly cannot make a mess of the sand either. I leave the box open in my sons room for him to freely play with it & he does every chance he gets. I plan to get him the beach sand castle one & the dinosaur excavation one as well! I love that this invites his creativity out to play. Kinetic sand for the win!

This is going to be a Christmas present so while not while not yet opened I know it is going to be a great hit with the little guy ( 4 years old ). Kinetic is always great quality and this looks to be a very durable and well made playset.
