Product Information

Full details

The Rainbow Eco Play Mixies Glitter Sand in Space theme is designed for children and educators seeking an engaging, sensory-rich material for small-world play and creative discovery. Its primary benefit is the unique deep charcoal and purple cosmic aesthetic, which brings an immersive element to tabletop play, though parents should note that like all loose sand, it requires supervision to prevent spills in carpeted areas.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this sand safe if accidentally ingested?

While the sand is made from natural minerals and is non-hazardous, it is not intended for consumption. Always supervise young children.

Can I use this for aquarium or water play?

No, this product is designed for dry sensory play and should not be used in water or aquatic environments.

Is the glitter made of plastic?

No, this sand is strictly micro-plastic free and uses natural mineral components.

Does the color stain hands or clothing?

The materials are generally clean, but as with all colored mineral sands, it is best to play on a wipeable surface and wash hands after use.

What is the best way to clean up spills?

A dustpan and brush is the most effective way to collect the sand from hard floors. Use a vacuum with a hose attachment for small crevices.

How long does the 2.5KG pouch last?

Longevity depends on frequency of use and the size of the play tray; however, 2.5KG is sufficient to cover a standard-sized sensory table base.

Troubleshooting

Sand feels slightly gritty or clumped

This is often due to moisture exposure. Spread the sand on a tray in a dry, warm area for several hours until completely dry.

Glitter flecks appear dull

Shake the pouch gently to redistribute the particles. Dust or oils from hands can sometimes coat the surface; sifting the sand can help restore the original shine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your cosmic play space, pour the desired amount into a shallow tray with raised edges to minimize spills. The sand is compatible with most standard wooden, plastic, or metal sensory equipment.

Care Instructions:

  • Storage: Always return the sand to the resealable pouch after play to keep it free from debris and moisture.
  • Cleaning: While the sand is non-hazardous, it is best kept dry. If it gets damp, spread it out on a flat, clean surface to air dry completely before storing.
  • Maintenance: Periodically sift through the sand using a fine mesh strainer if unwanted foreign particles are introduced during play.
