Magic Sand Blue | Mouldable Play Sand for Water-Themed Trays

Water play is wonderful and it is also wet, which in practice means it happens outdoors, on a limited number of days, with a change of clothes on standby.

Blue sand gives a setting the visual language of water indoors with none of that. A tray becomes a sea, a river or a lake, small-world marine animals go in, and the floor stays dry.

It is also the most useful partner colour for mixing. Blue with pink gives purple, blue with yellow gives green — two of the three secondary colours come out of this pot, which makes it the one to buy if colour work is the reason for the purchase.

Against the natural shade it produces a convincing shoreline, with a clear boundary between land and sea that children can build up and reshape.

• Stands in for water indoors — no wet floors or changes of clothes
• Produces two of the three secondary colours when mixed
• Forms a convincing shoreline against the natural shade
• Mouldable, dry to handle, no water required
• Recommended ages 3+

Pairs with the marine life figures kit. One of eight colours in the magic sand range.
