Kinetic Sand
Sand coated with a hydrophobic compound
Kinetic Sand is one of the most-reviewed brands in the Sensory & Fidget Toys category. Hydrophobic sand is a toy made from sand coated with a hydrophobic compound. The presence of the hydrophobic compound causes the grains of sand to adhere to one another and form cylinders when exposed to water, and form a pocket of air around the sand. The pocket of air makes magic sand unable to get wet. A variation of this moldable sensory sand, has several of the same properties, but acts like wet sand that will not dry out. Hydrophobic sand, whether the wet or dry type, will not mix with water.

What makes Kinetic Sand a perennial favorite for review channels is the predictable quality and the long product runway — every season brings new sets, characters, or licensed crossovers that families recognize from movies, shows, or game franchises.
