Extended Product Information

FAQs

How much sand is included in the set?

The set includes a total of 600g of sand, divided into six 100g bags.

What is the main benefit of SANDsational sand?

The primary benefit is that the sand never dries out, allowing for continuous and repeated play without loss of texture or moldability.

What types of desserts can be made with the molds?

The set includes 16 molds designed to create various sweet treats, such as cakes, ice cream scoops and cones, and donuts.

Is the play tray required for use?

The play tray is highly recommended to help contain the sand and minimize mess, making cleanup easier. However, the sand can be used outside the tray with appropriate precautions.

Can the sand be washed if it gets dirty?

No, the sand should not be washed with water. Washing can alter its unique texture and properties, making it unusable. Clean debris by hand or by sifting.

What age group is this set suitable for?

The SANDsational Delightful Desserts Craft Set is suitable for children aged 3 years and older.

How should I store the sand after playing?

Store the sand in its original resealable bags in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh and prevent it from drying out.

Troubleshooting

Sand loses moldability or becomes dry.

Ensure the sand has been stored in its original resealable bags when not in use. If the sand has accidentally been exposed to air for an extended period, it may lose some of its properties. Unfortunately, sand that has dried out cannot typically be rehydrated.

Sand sticks excessively to hands or surfaces.

Ensure hands are clean and dry before playing. If sand sticks to surfaces, use a brush or dry cloth to remove it. For stubborn residue, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the sand itself does not get wet.

Molds are difficult to remove sand from.

Gently tap the mold or use one of the included tools to carefully ease the sand out. Packing the sand firmly into the mold before attempting to remove it can also help create a cleaner shape.

Debris mixed into the sand.

Carefully remove visible debris by hand or using a sifter if available. Avoid getting the sand wet, as this can make debris removal more difficult and affect the sand's texture.

  • Resealable bags keep the sand fresh and make storage convenient.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack all components: 6 bags of sand, 2 tools, 16 molds, and 1 play tray.
  2. Place the play tray on a flat, stable surface.
  3. Open the resealable sand bags and pour the desired colors into the tray.

Compatibility:

This set is designed for use with the included molds and tools. The SANDsational sand is formulated to work best with its own components. While other compatible sand toys might work, results may vary. The sand itself is intended for tactile play and not for consumption.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Sand: If the sand becomes mixed or contains debris, gently sift it or try to pick out foreign objects. Do not wash the sand with water as this can affect its texture and moldability.
  • Cleaning the Molds and Tools: Wash molds and tools with mild soap and water. Ensure they are thoroughly dried before storing to prevent any potential mold growth.
  • Cleaning the Play Tray: Wipe the play tray clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry completely.
  • Storage: Store the sand in its original resealable bags in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality. Ensure all components are dry before storing them together.
