Spin Master Games Sink N’ Sand, Midnight Jungle Amazon Exclusive Kids Board Game with Kinetic Sand for Sensory Fun Gift Idea, for Preschoolers and Kids Ages 4 and up

This game has been a life saver during rain season here in the SE. My son loves it! My husband even doesn't mind it. Being kinetic sand, it's easy to pick that stuff up and reform (if you have some, you know lol). So setup doesn't take long between games, either. This stuff is also super easy to vacuum if it does stray and easily replaceable with any other extra kinetic sand you have. It's preferred over the clean up of playdough if some strays and you don't find it.. stuck in a piece of carpet forever.. this stuff will still vacuum a week later without problem. But not only is it fun, the kid has to pay attention to the color they picked/pulling, when setting up, they have to align the sticks to the right holes, they have to strategize which stick they pull so they don't knock their person down. It has some small learning points in there, too! So, not just for fun, if you're worried about that. Not the basic ABC but more of the physical/kinetic type of learning. BTW, my son is 4, and it's completely suitable for his age.

This is the ONLY thing my son wanted for Christmas. If you are a fan of the “I Need A New Butt” series. I HIGHLY recommend.

My child and I have a great time playing this game. It's quick to play the games as most children want things to go by quickly. I like that you decipher the die to play. It gives little ones thinking abilities you might say. My kid received it for Christmas so if you have kids around the six year old age range this would be a great gift for them.

This was a fun gift to give one of our friends. He is 7 and loves trying to know his siblings off the top. It seems to be simple to use and quality is about average. Slight mess with sand.

My 4 year old grandson had such a fun time with this game!!! You definitely need an adult or older child to help out all the sticks in to hold up the kinetic sand, but it doesn't take too long and it was a lot of fun to pull out the sticks one by one. This was a favorite present!

My 3yr old and her father and I all LOVE this game! The sand is kinetic sand but seems to have just a little bit more of a stronger hold so the sand doesn't start falling too quickly. I really recommend this game. Its really alot of fun. My daughter got about 10 games for christmas (yeah, I know) and this has been the favorite for all of us.Ok so, you start by putting the different colored sticks in randomly.- Take the small ruby and push it into the sand and knead/mix the sand so you don't know where the ruby is.- Next put the sand on top of the sticks and spread it around evenly and try not to expose the ruby.- Take the grid design and place it on the sand and press firmly so that it transfers the pattern to the sand.- Each player selects the colored person they want and you roll the die to see what symbol you get and can choose whichever spot with that symbol is available and place your person into the sand enough so that it stands.- After everyone has their spots its time to play. Now the symbols don't matter just the color that it is you rolled, and whatever color it is you pull any stick of that color out.-Now there is a monkey symbol you can roll and when you do you take the "meddling monkey" piece and you place it on the back of another players person of your choice. Each time someone rolls the monkey they can choose to move it to another player or leave it on the same person. (HINT: you don't want the monkey....it makes you sink faster.*-* DONT FORGET to pay attention and watch for that ruby to drop and when it does whoever who sees it and grabs it first gets a redemption or 2nd life. So if and when they fall they can place their person back on top 1 time.*Last one standing is the winner!

I'll start by saying I'd probably give this game 4 stars but, I asked my nephew and he gives it 5 stars. We played with 3 players and we played 4 rounds in one sitting. He probably could have played for longer. He loves all things sensory, so he was immediately drawn to a game that includes kinetic sand. It's a cute game- asethetically pleasing. It gives KerPlunk vibes but is more adventurous, which was another draw that really kept all of our interests (adults as well). The rules are simple and easy to understand.My only complaints are small ones: all but one of the figures/characters are top heavy and, as a result, they don't stand upright. That same figure is almost impossible to hang the monkey on. There's just no place on him to hang it from. These two issues, while small and knit-picky, do make things feel a little unfair. That said, it was thoroughly enjoyed by all and unique to all the other board games we have. We will play it again for sure. And we highly recommend.

Kids love this because of the kinetic sand aspect. You can always get more kinetic sand if it runs out. Definitely a favorite!
