Kinetic Sand


Kinetic Sand is a three-dimensional building toy made of 98% sand and 2% polydimethylsiloxane (a type of silicone oil) that mimics the physical properties of wet sand. Kinetic Sand was originally designed for sculpting but is commonly sold as indoor play sand for children. In appearance it resembles light brown sugar. It can be molded, it sticks to itself but not to most other materials or surfaces, and it does not dry out.

"Kinetic Sand" is the registered trademark of WABA Fun LLC. Other companies make comparable products which do not use the Kinetic Sand name.

The company claims the product is safe, but there is at least one report of a dog which needed extensive surgery after eating it.

Kinetic sand can be useful for kids with intellectual disability for self stimulation, learning and soothing.
