Sands Alive! Glow is fun and easy to use. When you’re ready to take your Sands Alive to the next bring it into the dark and watch it magically come to life.
The kit included a bag of Sands Alive ‘sand’, a plastic container to empty the sand in, UV light glasses, and a special designing ‘tool’. The glasses and the special tool also included the batteries, which of course makes life simpler. So often you purchase an item that requires batteries, bring it home, open it up and realize you don’t have the right batteries.
The kit was super easy to set up. You simply pour the Sands Alive sand into the container and wait. The instructions advise to let the sand sit for a couple of hours for the air to activate the glowing feature in the sand. The texture of the sand was soft, silky and a little sticky. The sand did not stick to your hands or leave any messy residue on your hands. I like this because it made it easy to clean up. We molded and sculpted the sand into castles, faces and other creatures.
Once we played with the sand was time to checkout the UV glasses and special glow tool. This was very exciting. When the glow tool made contact with the sand the sand glowed in a purple hue. This was such a great chemical reaction. The color was so vibrant. It was like the sand was illuminating in the dark.
This is such a great kit and we plan on doing more.
