It's similar, but not the same. If you bake at all, Kinetic Sand is similar to sugar mixed with butter and/or egg; Living Sand is more like what you get once you mix in the flour. Living Sand is softer/fluffier, but it has a chemical smell and leaves a residue on your hands and whatever surface you use it on. I would recommend Kinetic Sand.

I have had this for several months, and it still holds a shape as good as sand. I don't know what kinetic sand is but this is a favorite with my grandchildren. I have a flat container so that the sand can be on one side and the castles, etc. on the other....all contained.

I think it is. This one is blue in color not white and it has more sand in it than the other one which is crystal . I like this one much better.

After having purchased both I am not sure if it is the exact same product. It is very similar in texture but the tube of blue sand I got at Brookstone seems to pack better and hold its shape a bit stronger. It's also priced more steeply there at $25 for 2lbs (so buying the equivalent weight of this Waba Fun box would be about $125). Considering the price difference I'm very happy with the Waba Fun purchase and it is still a very good and similar enough product.

Yes it is. Here's a video of it (Sorry for the spaces, don't know how to attach a link without it being disabled) http:// www. youtube. com /watch?v=rsAp4Z2yVXs

This is not dustless sand. I have used that in the past and it is corse and dark. This sand sparkles, flows easily and is a light beige...very beautiful. If the kids stir it up a little it is not dusty but if they sift and sift yes there is dust but it is worth it to me.

Nope, the most remarkable property of kinetic sand is the "kinetic" part, that makes the sand to be in constant movement. When you build a figure with KS it will start falling apart in a few seconds (which is an interesting thing to see). With the Moon sand, whatever you build will stay the same. About texture, moon sand is a bit more "rubber-ish" than KS.

Okay, I just got some table salt and put it in one hand. Then my husband and I went into the backyard, opened up the sandbox, put some sand in the other hand and looked. We both agree that the sand particles are slightly smaller than the salt. We've used this sand for several years now, without problems, and will continue to order it when we run low. We keep it in an above-ground sand table, with a sturdy cover, so it's always clean. I hope this helps.

No I have both. Kinetic Sand is better, not as messy and the kids like it better. The moon sand I got smelled bad too.

It looks to be crystalline silica, like normal sand grains. Just very well sorted, and cleaner than normal play sand silica grains.

The kit we sell is the entry level sand set. Your suggestion is a good one and I will ask the manufacturer to see if they can do just that. Thanks for the question...

No,I went to a pool supply store and got the proper grade of sand.home improvement stores and hardware stores have play sand.little more expensive but we'll worth it.

Quite a bit actually. Search YouTube. Stowaway has videos showing exactly what you're looking to see.

I don't know what living sand is, but according to what I read on google it seems to be the same. The kids love it and I like that there is no dust with it.

Agree with simmonslmft; the polymer acts like an agent that attracts other particles of sand making them ever so lightly stick together. It seems perfectly safe and cool because you don't have to wet the sand to build anything and there's no clingy hand sand afterward. Easy to clean up too.

I wasn't aware of the other brands. I have the Brookstone Sand and I like it because it actually cleans up easily. It's fun! at my age I can use a little fun! (I'm a senior)-enjoy!

Hi Steve: No, it's not alive. It's more for decoration. I also put a sand dollar from the beach in there too. They are very nice to look at . Best!
