Troubleshooting
Kinetic Sand feels dry or crumbly.
Ensure the sand is stored in an airtight container when not in use. If it has dried out significantly, it may lose its cohesive properties. Try to revive it by kneading it thoroughly; if unsuccessful, it may be time to replace it.
Sand is sticking to surfaces or clothing.
Kinetic Sand is designed to stick to itself, not other surfaces. If some has transferred, allow it to dry, then vacuum or brush it away. For clothing, check for residual sand after it has dried and brush off gently.
Container is difficult to unlock.
Ensure the Mermaid key is inserted correctly into the slot and turned gently. Check that no sand has become lodged in the locking mechanism. If it feels stuck, try cleaning around the keyhole.
Missing accessories (gems, pearls, tools).
Double-check the reusable crystal container and all packaging materials carefully, as small items can sometimes be hidden. If items are confirmed missing, contact customer support for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Unbox the Mermaid Crystal Playset.
- Use the Mermaid key to unlock and open the reusable crystal container.
- Remove the various sand colors, molds, and accessories.
- Place the sand on a clean, flat surface or inside the crystal container for play.
Compatibility:
- This playset is designed to work with Kinetic Sand only. Other types of sand or play materials may not provide the same magical properties or cleanup ease.
- The included accessories are specifically designed for use with Kinetic Sand.
Care Instructions:
- Storage: Store the Kinetic Sand in the provided reusable crystal container or an airtight container to maintain its consistency. Ensure the lid is tightly closed.
- Cleaning: Kinetic Sand sticks to itself, making cleanup simple. Use the included scoop or your hands to gather the sand. If sand gets on clothing or carpets, allow it to dry completely, then vacuum or brush it away.
- Maintaining Sand Quality: Avoid mixing Kinetic Sand with water or other liquids, as this can alter its texture and make-up. If the sand begins to feel dry over time, it may have been exposed to air for too long; ensure it is stored properly in an airtight container.
- Hygiene: The sand is non-toxic and hypoallergenic. For best practice, ensure hands are clean before and after play.
