Aqua sand is not worth the $[...] I paid for it. Luckily I bought it at Target and did not pay shipping charges from the ad on TV. My kids were very disappointed. The tank is tiny compared to what it looks like on TV. It is also not as easy as it looks. We could not make the sculptures stand up. The sand also got stuck in the bottles and that made it hard to make the sculptures. Some of the sand would float to the top and just sit on top of the water. It was a big mess to clean up. The only thing cool about this product is the sand does what it says...it does not mix with water. I would not buy this product again. It might be worth about [...] just to see the sand and water not mix.

This item was not up to the reviews I saw on TV. The container was to small, impossible to reuse the sand, and my grandkids lost interest in a few minutes. All that was left was the clean up. Would not recommend this product for any age.

I bought this toy this year for my two 5 year old girls. They LOVE IT!!!! Even though it gets messy, they know no time limit when they get into playing with it. I just wish the tanks and the sand refills were larger sizes, but other than, that is sure a great toy for little kids!

In my opinion, this should not cost more than $10. The commercial makes it look so cool but after kids pour the sand in, they lose ineterest and you will be stuck cleaning up the mess. You will not have the option of re-seperating the colors once you allow them to use more than one at a time. The tank is pretty small so once the sand is in, there isn't anything else to do.

Since the sand is coated in some type of oil (which keeps it dry) when you remove the sand, you'll get little bubbles of water. Put the sand in a bowl and get some tissues to soak up the water in the sand, then use the funnel to put the sand back in the bottle for it's next use.

If you're on the fence, don't bother. Kids need to learn at an early age that they can't get everything they want and that the commercials are usually far from reality. My daughter has much more fun with moon sand!

My mom bought this product for my kids and they LOVE IT!!!! The only drawback on this product is that the water tank is very small. If you are looking to buy this product, I would suggest not even buying the kit. Save yourself the money and just buy the sand. My kids had more fun playing with the sand in a tupperware container. My girls (5 & 3) played with this for an hour and a half! After reading some of the reviews, as a parent I have to wonder, first, do children now a days have any imagination, that they loose interest after 5 minutes with something like this. And second, what's wrong with the parents that they can't spend 5 minutes cleaning up. Here are my suggestions for an easy clean-up. Lay a towel down on the table, use a tupperware container instead of the water tank. When it comes time to clean up the sand, pour the majority of the water out of the tupperware container using your hand to stop the sand. With the little water that is left over, I just poured it into a coffee filter and pour it back into the bottle. With the little sand that was on the floor, I used this really neat thing called a broom. Waa laa - this took me 5 minutes. You have to remember, your child is playing with SAND!!!! It's going to be a little messy.
I found this to be no worse than playdoh that sticks to the bottom on my kids socks and gets tracked thru the house. And as far as the sand getting mixed together (just like playdoh) there is a really simple solution for this. Only let them play with one color at a time. If you really have a problem with the mess, take it to gramma's or save it for an outside activity. My girls have had so much fun playing with this, I'm getting some for my house. I also have to admit, I think I had just as much fun as my girls did. It's just absolutly amazing how this stuff works. So, if you are thinking about buying this product, I highly recommend it. Just remember, it's SAND. :)
