My child was very happy to receive the kinect sand ,I have never purchased it before because I figured it was for older children (hes 6)and I also figured it was messy and I dont do messy I just ain't that mom lol .I prefer him to have toys that he can play with by himself set up by himself and put together by himself, he tried to open the first bag of sand but it started to all spill out so I had to open the bags for him he was able with scissors to open the small bag of accessories. The sand smelt good it's one of the first things he noticed too the white smelt like coconut, the pink like strawberries, and the brown like chocolate which was nice I liked that factor better than I did with playdough because it smelt good the downside to this was I wouldn't recommend it to younger children because of this my child wanted to taste it and I told him not to and it said do not eat on a piece on paper in it but it didnt say if it was toxic or not so I was worried , we also have pets so I didnt know if it would be toxic to them either they really need to put that on the box in big letters .he put al the sand into it's own container by himself but I had to help him make a sandwich he didnt put enough sand and it fell apart you really got to put alot of sand into the sandwich maker to get it to stay together thata anthor thing I didnt like it didnt stay together well it wanted to crumble .He had fun looking at the different icecream treats and trying to recreate them he wanted to look at the booklet so maybe they should include a bigger booklet with more ideas of treats they could make like a recipe book that would be fun for them, once he got the colors mixed together you couldn't separate them .It was messy but not as hard to clean up as I thought it would be and it was a bit like glitter it kinda got everywhere but it was easier to clean than glitter so this for my home would be a outside toy .I do think it is less messy than real sand and a friend told me they used kinnect sand in headstart in a sand box but its just the regular sand and not the scented that may be why this crumbled so easy and didnt hold its shape well unless it was in the cone or sundae cup, anthor good thing about it though was he could scoop the sand like real icecream and you cant do that with playdough    -
