- Pack it hard and squeeze it into shapes – Amazingly, it holds strong no matter how you mold it.
- Build a snowman, castle, roadway, or anything your imagination can conjure. Sand sculpting tools compile sand and etch details, faces, and names while a roller lets you clear pathways and make streets.
- You’ll see quickly – It’s not just fun to feel, it’s fun to build too!
- And what’s more amazing is this stuff NEVER dries out. Leave it out all day, all month, all year! – It’s no problem!
- Plus, it always sticks only to itself and nothing else, so it’s incredibly easy to clean up off of any surface – Your lap, the table, the floor, even the carpet.
- Great for engaging kids and adults in school, at work, in therapy sessions, at home, or anywhere else you can imagine, the Sands Alive Starter Set is the perfect introduction to a new revolution in sand-molding fun.
