Great set, but the sand isn’t the best quality
I ordered this for my 4.5yo son, who loves doing sensory bins. I’m a SAHM, so I’m always on the lookout for easy crafts and activities that don’t require a ton of prep work. I figured this kit would be perfect, and it mostly is. It arrived well packaged, and comes with a ton of pirate themed accessories, which my son loves. There’s hardly any prep work – just dump the sand in and add the accessories, and you’re ready to go! My son really enjoyed playing with it and creating different scenes, and the accessories it comes with are right on theme and great quality. It’s kept him engaged for hours, which I appreciate. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because the play sand isn’t the best quality. It is pretty hard, which makes it difficult to manipulate, especially when using the included tools, which are made of a pretty thin plastic and bend easily under the pressure required to move and scoop the sand around. It would be a lot better if the sand were more like kinetic sand which is a lot easier to work with. He doesn’t seem to mind much though and has still enjoyed playing with it. Also, keep in mind that it comes with a bin to play in, but there’s no lid that attaches to it to keep everything together when storing. I ended up moving it to another spare sensory bin I had on hand that has a lid that clasps onto it, but you could also just throw the sand and accessories into a plastic bag and store them inside the bin when not in use. Also, I think the price point is a little high for what you get – there’s definitely other sensory bins out there that are the same quality but a better price point. Overall though, it’s a neat kit and my son loves the pirate theme. It’d make a great Christmas or birthday gift, and I love that there’s essentially no prep work required.

Great fun
This was a big hit with the kids. We put it outside and filled it with some water. The kids liked it a lot and played with it for quite a long time. The sand is very nice and pure. The kids really enjoyed hiding the colorful gems.

Great Sensory Activity
The Chico Land Waterplay Sand Kit was a hit! I set it up to use with my students as a speech therapist. The sand started pretty stiff (which was expected as it was in the directions) but once it was kneaded out, it turned to a great texture. The kids have loved the pirate theme and the many accessories that come with the set. I like that there is a variety of vocabulary and speech / language targets I can address with this one activity while also meeting the sensory needs of my students. It came with a bag to store the sand; however, I gave it 4 stars as I wish it came with a lid to the box for storage purposes. Despite this flaw, it is a good product that I have used a lot.

Kids absolutely love working with sand
In my opinion you cannot go wrong with this sand kit. Kids absolutely love working with the sand, digging, building things then tearing it down and starting on something else. This keeps them entertained for hours on end. This sand clumps easily and is much faster and easier to clean up compared to regular sand. Depending on the ages of your kids, I recommend one kit for each of your kids and they can play side by side.

So fun!
This set was so fun to play with! I initially ordered it for my 4 year old but he conned our 11 year old to play with him and they both had a blast playing with this for hours. It’s been a few months and the sand is still like new surprisingly! Easy to use and easy to clean, although it can get wet easily around where you are playing. Lots of different activities to do with this, from playing in sticky sand to hiding gems to find for treasure. Great size for kiddos to play with at the table! I would definitely recommend this for a busy activity!.

Lots of fun with or without water for my four year old grandson. There is not lid for the container.
My grandson is really enjoying this. Since it is winter, he is generally playing with it dry in the house and it works well as kinetic sand – it feels a little different that actual kinetic sand but functions the same way. The accessories are well designed. You do need to knead the sand a bit before playing the first time or it is quite stiff (the directions do mention this). We have let him use it with water a few times as well and it stays together nicely in water.I took away a star because there is no lid for the container, and this makes storage unnecessarily challenging.
