Kinetic Sand, Dino XCavate 3-Pack, Made with Natural Sand, Play Sand Sensory Toys

Product Information

Fill up a small plastic bin with Kinetic Beach Sand or regular Kinetic Sand. Both are excellent materials to use, though we prefer the beach sand because it’s more coarse and easier to clean off toys. This sensory activity is so simple to set up! All you need is kinetic sand and plastic dinosaur skeletons. Bury the dinosaur bones, then invite your preschooler to uncover them using only the bristles and handle of a paintbrush or toothbrush. Mix and match Kinetic Sand collections to create unique fragrances and a sensory-rich experience. With a variety of delightful scents like watermelon, apple, ice cream, berry, vanilla and many more! This is a fantastic way to introduce new scents to children, parents please be advised, little ones should not eat the Kinetic Sand. Kinetic Sand is the original magical, mouldable and mesmerising play sand. Better than arts and crafts modelling clay, this sensory sand never dries out, so you can play with Kinetic Sand for hours of tactile independent play. It’s a great addition to sensory bins. Let it flow through your hands – it’s so satisfying, you won’t be able to put it down.

They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. Create your own DIY kinetic sand dinosaur dig. This kids activity is an awesome, mostly mess-free way to dig into sensory play, all in one convenient bin. Kids can also experiment with creating impression fossils with the toy dinosaur bones. For a more advanced fine motor workout, give your child a pair of tongs for removing the dinosaur bones from the sand. COLLECT THEM ALL: There’s 3 different dinos to collect and build, and 4 treasures to find! Will you get Triceratops, Stegosaurus, or T-Rex? Discover the dinosaurs and feel like a paleontologist!

The Kinetic Sand Dino Dig Playset is perfect for imaginative play and makes a great gift for kids aged 6 and up. Kinetic Sand is made from natural sand and is wheat, gluten and casein free. Kinetic sand is excellent for sensory play due to several reasons, such as: tactile stimulation, enhanced creativity, and fine motor skills development, to name a few. Discover more in our article ‘Why Sensory Play is Good for Children’.

Uncover fossils to assemble a triceratops, stegosaurus and tyrannosaurus rex. Once you piece together your skeletons, explore your imagination and use them to play in your Dino Dig Playset. Toss in paintbrushes, shovels, scoops, plastic cookie cutters, toy cars, etc., and let your kids’ imaginations go wild. I like to add in one new activity to the girls’ DIY kinetic sand sensory bin each time we break out the bin, to make the experience a little bit different and unique. Most recently, we added plastic cookie cutters into the mix, allowing the kids to make new shapes and molds with their kinetic sand. They were a big hit. Let’s discover the wonder of Kinetic Sand – a soft, scented, and colourful alternative to regular sand. Unleash creativity without the mess, perfect for indoor playtime compared to sand tables made for the outdoors. Create your own DIY kinetic sand dinosaur dig that doubles as an easily contained and convenient sensory play bin. This activity is an awesome, mostly mess-free way to dig into sensory play. Pun totally intended! 😉

When all the fossils are removed and identified, rebury them and dig again! Here are some other ideas for play: Our oldest daughter really loves using the paintbrushes to clean off her dinosaur “fossils.” She can play on her own in this dinosaur dig sensory bin for a good hour.
