Why sand?
Vitamin S: two kinds, and both are good for the soul.
Psychologists tell us that social connection is essential to our well-being. We like to think of sand as another kind of Vitamin S! Whether you're creating on your own or sharing the experience with family and friends, playing with sand invites you to slow down, relax, and enjoy the simple pleasure of making something with your hands. A little more Vitamin S might be just what we all need.

Our very first toy
People have played with sand since the beginning of time. Found nearly everywhere on Earth, from tropical beaches to the Arctic Circle, sand is one of nature's simplest and most enduring playthings. There's something wonderfully satisfying about running it through our fingers, shaping it, and feeling its texture. Perhaps because it comes from the earth itself, sand has a way of grounding us, calming us, and reconnecting us with the simple pleasure of play.
Calm in your hands
There's something wonderfully absorbing about working with sand. Pouring, sifting, and tapping it into place draws your attention to the moment, allowing curiosity and creativity to take over.
There's no brush to master and no paint to dry. Just pour, press, and tap, watching the colors come together as your design takes shape. It's a simple, satisfying process that makes it easy to lose yourself in the pleasure of creating.
Making art with sand is making art with the earth.”
Ground from the earth
Our art sand is produced in North America from ground feldspar, part of the most abundant mineral group in the Earth's crust. It's a natural material, carefully processed and colored to become something wonderfully creative.
A little natural sparkle
Our palette of 16 rich, vibrant colors has a beautiful sparkle that comes from the sand itself, not added glitter. The result is a subtle shimmer that catches the light and brings your artwork to life.
Made to paint with
Not too coarse and not too fine, our sand flows smoothly and settles neatly into place. The colors won't stain your fingers, rub off when dry, or wash out when wet. And with a full ounce of each color, there's plenty to play with!
