Anyway,I like this one and I am happy to recommend this great little kit . It had maximum excitement value for our 3 year old who loved finding things! Love all the little compartments and jewels, great mix of colors and was at a great price!

My daughter had to get help on this as you have to push it in quite hard to get it to open up a little. It is made to look like a treasure chest where you gradually uncover tools, moulds, pearls, and gems concealed in the coloured sands. In there you find a mermaid key and a shell which has pink sand and a pearl inside. Great gift

First you use the shell sticking out as a key to open the purple crystal up. In fact it is the accessories that I had a slight disappointment with. The mermaid key then goes in the bottom of the set to reveal more orange sand, we thought you had to dig this to find a treasure chest but in hind site it looks like you knock the sand out in one piece as it’s shaped like a treasure chest, then you did into that to find more gems. As with all kinetic sand sets, the sands gradually merge colour over time, and the initial excitement of finding treasure can't be repeated to the same level next time you play.

Just My Thoughts

Older kids (who still love this sand), won't really get the surprise element when playing now and I wonder why they didn't follow the proper "mystery" route that other toy manufacturers have gone, where it really is an unknown surprise. I also love that the sand itself is more dough like and sticks together so doesn’t get under your nails etc. My niece is going to love it. The shell key/roller was missing, which made it harder to open.
