Is this the same as living sand? Do you know how they're different, other than the packaging?

I Googled LIving Sand and they appear to be the same type of product from what I see in an online video.

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.

Can it be? Yes. Should it be. No. The "alive" part is that is has a bacteria population. They are salt water bacteria. While some may be able to thrive I fresh water many will die off and cause you to have a much longer break in. I would buy sterile sand for fresh water or one of the "alive" products designed for fresh water. For a fresh water tanked I have had very good success with CaribSea Eco-Complete. There is even a Cichild specific version they make.

Gosh I honestly don't know as I haven't had that happen. You may want to contact the company & see what they suggest. You can purchase new living sand (a bit pricey) from amazon or other stores that carry learning products.

No, you either order the sand or the box, they come separately. The box does not come with any sand but comes with a rounded wooden cutting knife and a small circular bowl for shaping the sand. The sand comes alone, no box.

This is not sand, its more like... shredded coconut shells or similar matter. I've kept pacman frogs in it just fine - when it would eat a pinkie (baby mouse) it would also eat some of this substrate and the frog never had issues.

No... The sand is awesome, but like the others said, it is in a plastic bag inside a regular box. I have purchased this sand 3 times. It is the best for our sand table!

Hi Deryl, Unfortunately they do not have Living Sand add-on packs available. The basic kit is packaged with the tools. From there the manufacturer offers more advanced kits.

It looks like the same product in the tubs, but not 100% positive. The tubs contain granules and is not in liquid form.

No, the packaging is completely different. However, the contents are identical.

I totally agree with Lizzy. I am a Nanny, girls in my care received this product for their 3rd birthday. They absolutely love the Sands Alive, but I have concerns for product ingredients, as the ingredients are not listed on the box which we do still have, all that is stated is "Note-Sands Alive! is made from all natural, organic materials and can vary slightly in color and texture." This product is U.S. Patent but Made in South Korea with a Foreign patents pending as stated on the box as well. So let's say one of the children in my care develops an allergy or somehow it is ingested maybe not intentionally but because the product is on their hands or gets into their eyes and child has to be taken to the hospital, what would we tell poison control or the emergency room and I have researched on line, there are no answers to be found about the chemical compounds or ingredients. Is this something parents really want their children to be playing with, I feel the product needs more disclosure information.

Absolutely nothing. They are seemingly the exact same product by the exact same seller. Based on the shipping information, perhaps the packaging is different.

No it is not. It is much better. We love it!!! My only recommendation is to buy the bigger one so that you will have more sand to work with. I am going to get the biggest one for Christmas.

The one I received had the pouches filled with plastic beads not sand. Hope this helps. I use this vest regularly and am please with it.

My daughter did the same thing, I just spread it out in a dry tray and let it dry overnight -I can't distinguish the difference between the sand that had been wet and the sand that was never wet.
