I had never heard of kinetic sand before.

Go get some and play with it. It's insane. If you mush it, you can mold it like play-doh, but start spreading it out (to let air mix in) and it crumbles like sand. It never dries out, and it's not too tough to clean up.

I like Sands Alive, that one is also anti-bacterial... so if a sick kid plays with it, other kids won't get sick.

DO it

I sense a potential for a Playgyptian diorama.

I had never heard of that either... And I also think it has egyptian potential...

Andy (AgeOwns) may have introduced us to an amazing idea with his use of kinetic sand!  Besides moonscapes and Egyptian deserts, I can imagine roadways, castle courtyards, Victorian driveways, etc. and that's just with the basic sand color.  There are many commercial varieties of kinetic sand and some of them come in different colors - green could be shaped into rolling meadows, blue could be made to look like waves. I am definitely going to buy some just to see what it's like!

I am not sure WHERE to get it - I am not desperate enought to freaking import SAND from abroad!

Looks very very very nice though... And we all know how much of a difference sand makes on a dio..

I am not sure WHERE to get it - I am not desperate enough to freaking import SAND from abroad! . . .

Here in the U.S. kinetic sand seems to be the current big thing for young kids and is available at big stores like ToysRUs, Walmart, and Target as well as "craft" stores and "educational toy" stores (where teachers buy stuff like flash cards, giant wall maps, and pipe cleaners.)  Maybe these types of stores in Europe will also have it.

Here in the Netherlands they sell it at all the toystores. It was one of the most popular december gifts last year. It is great stuff. We used it in our nativity diorama.

Super 4 the has now shown up on the US website, not yet available for order but we do have the prices. Surprisingly reasonable prices for them. At those prices I will end up getting most of the theme for the parts if nothing else.
