Editor's Review

You’ve never seen Kinetic Sand move like this! The Kinetic Sand SquishMotion set comes with three colors of Kinetic Sand and a squishy, moving play space. There are also three interchangeable stamps (shark, star, and smiley face) that easily connect to the stamping tool. Kids can also play with the foot stamp and the crinkle cutter. And all of the play happens right inside the storage case. Place some Kinetic Sand into the play area. You can layer all three colors. Use the crinkle cutter to flatten the sand, and then press the stamping tool on top. Only press down holding the handles; don’t press down on the top yet. The sand is supposed to stay in the stamping tool until you transfer it to the squishy pad and press down to release it, though that’s something we had trouble with. The squishy pad is made of slow-rise foam, so when you press down on it, it slowly rises, giving the shaped sand cool movement. You can also layer sand directly onto the squishy pad, using the foot stamper or the crinkle cutter to push down for more movement. Wipe away any leftover sand residue with a cloth; don’t use water.

Should I get it?

This playset does a pretty good job of keeping everything contained, but storage that doubles as play space is only something that will appeal to parents. What will appeal to kids ages 5 and up are the three colors of sand, the five tools, and watching the slow-rise movement with the shapes and colors. This definitely offers a lot of tactile play. Just know that once you mix colors of the sand, you can’t unmix them.

Pros

3 colors of sand
