 Total Waste of Money and It is way too messy March 12, 2010
Manoj Srivastava (Potomac, MD)
My 7 year old daughter bought this toy for her sister's birthday. The tools are inappropriate. The castle is too little and does not get clamped down and floats in the water. As per my daughter, this toy is no fun at all. The total interaction with the toy lasted 5 minutes and she was ready to dump it.
extremely itchy March 3, 2010

Would not recomend for kids with sensitive kids, my daughter could no longer play after only 5 minutes. It left a red irritiation and burning sensation.
What a Disappointment? March 1, 2010
K. L. Housley (Oklahoma)
My 8 year old saved her own money just to buy this toy she had seen on tv. She has made a valliant effort to make it fun but it is not. I agree with the other viewers about the size being misleading, and the mermaid that comes in the box is not the one that is pictured on the box. It's very small, doesn't lay down like it shows on the box. There really isn't much she can do with this toy. She is learning the hard way how misleading advertising can be. It's really sad though when it's directed at children. I wish there was a zero star option because it doesn't even deserve the one star minimum.
 worth the money, 3 year old love it February 20, 2010

My 3 year old loves this. She'd seen the commercial so she knew what to expect. It's amazing how the sand does stay dry. This toy is just like playdough- the kids can use it over and over and it keeps them busy a good half hour. I've read the reviews about how hard it is to clean up- but I've found a way that it's very easy to clean up: always put down a towel first(to catch any water splashes) then and a large sheet cake pan as a surface for the kids to play with this on (it's the very big baking pan with short sides). When you are ready to clean up take all the peices out of the tank, then take the tank to the sink and pour the water right out using your hand to stop the sand (it natually clumps together). Then take your large sheet cake pan to the sink and pour the water out of it using your hand to stop the sand too. Then use the funnels provided (they are the upside down caps to the two sand bottles)and shovel provided to put the sand back in the bottles. Total clean up takes just 5 minutes this way. If you use two sand colors at once they will mix, just like playdough. The tank is smaller than I expected, but it's still a VERY GREAT toy!!! I give my daughter another clear tupperware containter and she loves pouring the water and sand back and forth- and you have room for this if you use the large sheet cake pan. I found some seashells and plastic sea animals from Dollar Tree to put inside the tank too. OH, you'll probably want to superglue the mermaid's head because it comes off easily. I'd recommend just letting one kid play with this at a time or else you probaby will have a big sand mess on your hands....
 An outdoor activity February 9, 2010

My 6 year old daughter got this for her birthday and it was the first toy she wanted to play with. She was definitely sold by the commercial and so was my son.
Instructions were not clear. I was a little dumfounded by the long spout and the bottles of sand. I knew the spout went on the bottle, but how? Well, the cap on the bottle snaps off. That leaves what looks like a short spout. In fact, that short spout serves as a funnel for when I need to pour everything back into the bottle. What I needed to do was unscrew that short spout and then screw the long spout on. Didn't know that short spout unscrewed, which threw me off.
Fill the clear tub with water, put the arch inside, dip the long spout into the water and squeeze the sand out. Sometimes, the kids would pull the spout out of the water and the sand would fall everywhere. It's messy.
The kids were not excited about scooping the sand out to put it away, which was fine with me, because it would have been a disaster.
To get the sand back in, use the short spout as a funnel and the provided strainer. It goes back in dry, which is pretty neat, but all the colors are mixed together. If the kids do it, expect a large mess.
This is a fun once in awhile outdoor activity. It's just much too messy for indoors. The sand is very fine and gets everywhere. Putting the sand back into the bottles is tedious, not something I want to do regularly.
