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.

As the last person said, this is different from kinetic sand. My kids have both kinetic sand and Sands Alive. I prefer the kinetic sand to this product. Sands Alive is more doughy in consistency.

I don't know what Kinetic sand is, but no it doesn't fall apart. You can make all sorts of designs with it, castles, tunnels, roads, houses.. My grandkids LOVE it.. I do too, it keeps them occupied.. lol Best thing since sliced bread..

Yes it is different. It will stay together in different forms until you crush them!

I'm not familiar with Kinetic sand, but this is a mix between play doh and sand - shapes maintain pretty well. We love this the play visions sand.

We never purchased kinetic sand. But Sands Alive will stay together when you make shapes. You can make many shapes and stack them without falling apart. it's really fun to play with.

I don't know, I haven't ever seen/used moon sand. We've had the living sand for about a month now and would NOT buy it again. It is fun, but it smells weird and small pieces "flake off" and are hard to find/clean up. Hope this helps.

No. This ball does not have sand in it. It actually comes flat and you have to blow it up yourself.

Seems very stable to me. The instructions say you should file the four base compartments with either stones or sand. I used inexpensive construction quality sand from Home Depot and it worked very well. Hope this helps.

It's been so long, I can't remember. I bought this for my granddaughter for a sand box. You might want to try it. It's very clean sand but don't quote me on this.

It should break apart easily with a spoon is what I used. If it won't something is not right. Yes it should be powderlike.

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.

Yes! And when I bought it the sand was packaged separately, so you should be able to use the pieces on their own without even having them touch the sand.

It seems to be the consensus among my martial arts friends that both work fine to stabilize BOB but when attempting to move, fill or empty sand is more problematic....messy....etc. I've only used water and it's easy to fill, move to other locations once filled. I hope this helps

I wouldn't buy Sands Alive for any purpose because it doesn't do what it says it will & it is expensive. Kinetic Sand is much better, but I would not use it outside. Moisture would not be good for it.

No sand, it's filled with air (comes with a pump) I love it. I use it for Pilates and core workouts mainly. It's pretty sturdy I'm 160lbs and it doesn't sink. Hope this helps!

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 haven't tried that.. but I can tell you it is very strong.. you can sand it with a power sander and it doesn't break up.. Hope this helps.. :)

I have used it 10 times and it has not lost its shape like the Nike Net did. But remember when the net does not want to fold just lay it down, line it up and disperse the net so that there are not thick collections. Sometimes you might have to do it twice. Also, I live in Indiana so I make sure that I keep it inside when it is cold outside to make sure that the frame remains flexible. Yes. I plan to hit hundreds of balls into the net this winter.

I like Brookstone sand for kids. We have it in our classroom it's easy to mold and easier to clean up. It also doesn't stick on anything other then itself.

I'm not sure... We used the exact amount of sand recommended and have had absolutely no problems. A little sand initially when we submerged the steps but I think that was just from a little spillage onto the steps as we filled them. No movement, no floating. We love the steps. They are exactly what we were looking for.

My wife has never complained about it losing its shape. It is not totally rigid to begin with, but it does maintain the shape that it is in when you heat it. The heat has no affect on the rigidity of the pad at all. It is one of the better pads that I have bought for my wife, she really likes it.
