NEW! Kinetic Sand
The sand flows and shapes just like wet sand, but leaves surfaces and hands completely mess free. The magic ingredient is a non-toxic polymer coating that causes the sand stick only to itself in a soft clump.
You can cut, sculpt, mould, build, smooth, slice and squish it -- as you can see in this neat video:
Available in a 1kg box ($19) or 5kg box ($49) - instore and online now!

I am Supersloth.
I'm new to Shorties!
I am fuzzy and handsome.
I was designed by Karla Courtney, and you can find me in this book.
She was inspired by this video.
I've been hand-knitted with love, in Peru of course!
Oh, I also have a cape and an Instagram account...
