Magic Sand Super Sculptor

me and my husband bought this so called 'magic' sand for our 6 year old sons. to say we were disapointed would be an understatement. we could not sculpture a model at all in the water, and we had to throw half the sand away because we could not seperate it from the water. it was also extremely expensive and not the sort of product a child could buy with their pocket money. even my 14 year old daughter could not use this product as it is advertised. a complete waste of money, and a great disapointment.

I purchased the Magic Sand for my 5 year old daughter. She was amazed the way the sand didnt actually get wet and enjoyed playing with it by her hands..... has for the sculpting tip and trying to mould something under water it was complete rubbish!!!! Very disappointing would def not recommend. As usual these things always seem easy when advertised.... but it was down to 99p and that was the only reason that it was purchased! If I had paid the full price of £6.99 I would certainly not have been a happy bunny!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

I got one of these so called Magic Sand Super Sculpture sets for my daughter, and they are a complete waste of money.

Firstly, the tank is really flimsy and small, and you can hardly see what you are doing in it.

A lot of the sand floats to the top.

The sculpting bottle is really hard to control, as it just spews sand out everywhere.

It takes a good hour to get the sand dry enough to put back in the packet, by sifting it, but water bubbles always seem to form in the packet, and if you are using 2 or more different colours, it takes longer to try and separate them.

The water tank gets scratched very easily by the sand, and after 2 uses it is barely transparent, and watch out if you spill it on wooden or plastic surfaces; don't wipe or scrape it off, use a soft brush, or everything gets scratched! Even my kitchen sink got scratched when rinsing residue I couldn't get at. Don't pour sand remains down the toilet either, as it stays for weeks and it clumps together when wet.

Our set came with a little rubber seahorse who lost his painted on eyes after the third play! A small thin plastic cave made out of the kind of stuff Easter eggs get packaged in, a couple of scenery cards that you had to colour in yourself, and three small bags of sand. It seems a lot, but trust me it isn't.

I will never go near the stuff again! It wouldn't be so bad if my daughter actually liked it!
