Lab Notes & FAQs

Is the sand safe for kids?

Yes, it’s classroom safe. Every batch is third-party tested for toxins and allergens and sealed until it reaches your space.

Store it in the resealable lab pouch between sessions.

Will it dry out?

No, the texture stays silky. Our polymer matrix locks in moisture so the sand stays moldable for months.

Keep it covered when not in play for best results.

How messy is it?

Cleanup stays quick. Static-resistant grains cling together so strays wipe up with a lint roller or damp cloth.
