The sand is also incredibly soft and feels silky to touch, adding to the sensory experience. Children can use their imagination to mold the magic sand into various shapes and structures. They can build sandcastles, create sand sculptures, or simply enjoy the texture of the sand running through their fingers. The sand is easy to work with and can be molded and shaped effortlessly.
The sand is easy to work with and can be molded and shaped effortlessly. One of the most fascinating features of the magic sand toy is its ability to defy gravity. When molded into a structure and submerged in water, the sand retains its shape and does not disintegrate or dissolve.

Description
The Upside-Down Magic kids are back in another topsy-turvy adventure in the next installment of this New York Times bestselling series, now a Disney Channel Original Movie!
The kids in Upside-Down Magic know their magic is a little out of control. But that doesn't make them weird -- it only makes them human.Strange things are happening at Dunwiddle Magic School and the Upside-Down Magic class is getting blamed! Yes, Marigold did shrink Lacey Clench to the size of a gerbil. But that was an accident. And, yes, most people weren't prepared for Nory to transform into a squippy (that's half squid, half puppy)-but it's not like Nory meant to mix up paws and tentacles. And while Bax does have the unfortunate magical condition of turning into a stone, he swears he has nothing to do with the rocky magic that's been happening in Dunwiddle's halls. When things get messy, it's easy to point your finger at the kids with the messiest magic. But the Upside-Down Magic students aren't going to let themselves get in trouble. Instead, they're going to find out what's really going on-and get their school back on track before something really wacky happens.

Reviews for "The Therapeutic Effects of Magic Sand Toys for Special Needs Children"
- Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Magic Sand toy. The sand was so messy and it got all over my house. It was also really difficult to mold and shape into anything. The colors were also not as vibrant as I was expecting. Overall, I would not recommend this toy to others.
- Mike - 1 star - I found the Magic Sand toy to be a complete waste of money. The sand was extremely dry and clumpy, making it impossible to shape or mold into anything. It was also very messy and stained my hands whenever I tried to play with it. The colors also did not mix well and just turned into a muddy mess. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.
- Sarah - 2 stars - The Magic Sand toy didn't live up to my expectations at all. The sand was gritty and didn't hold its shape when molded. It also dries out really quickly, even when stored in the provided container. The colors were also faded and not as vibrant as shown in the advertisements. I would not recommend buying this toy.
