"Denmark may have the lockdown on Lego, but a neighboring country is also producing something children can use to build things: Sand. No ordinary sand, of course. A company called Delta of Sweden, which manufactures modeling compounds for use in the educational, medical, therapeutic and arts & crafts markets, has an invention called Deltasand. The stuff has been licensed by several toymakers, most notably Colorado-based WABA Fun, who have produced this video demonstrating the product (rebranded "Kinetic Sand"):

44 bucks? I don't know. I'll have to think about it. It is neat.
All the secrets are here in the disclosure and claims of USPatent No. 7862894, just as Thomas Jefferson intended.
I imagine it's somewhat like moonsand, although this looks like it has more flow. That could be cool but also frustrating if you're trying to build something that doesn't collapse.
I couldn't watch the video but yesterday I got to watch the episode of Cheers where Sam goes to the sex addicts anonymous meeting and ends up hitting on a chick right after she confesses that her sexual impulsivity has ruined her life.
You could grow peanuts in it.

Boron is an essential element for plants but for animals not so much. Boron, present as simple boric acid or equivalent salts, form crosslinking esters with hydroxyl groups imbedded in cellulose. It's thought to play a similar role here, giving leaves and living plant tissues flexibility, resiliency, and suppleness.
It's Log!
Interesting stuff.
Looks cool as hell but doesn't it ever get dirty? Not that similar products (Playdough) wouldn't, though. I wonder if they add surfactants to them.
I haven't gotten over magnetic Buckey Balls as the ideal toy. But I tend to be fastidious enough to prefer playing with something that can be washed.
I heard Borax is a great way to kill roaches.

That's a great episode, as are so many Cheers episodes.
I love how he relaxingly throws his arms behind his head and while stretching, goes, "So, do you like Chinese food?"
That looks neat, but it still doesn't beat a $2 pack of playdo.
