kinetic sand
Squeezable sculpting medium
Kinetic sand is a moldable, sand-like material that sticks to itself but not to hands or surfaces.
Made from sand mixed with a silicone-based polymer, it holds its shape when packed yet flows and stretches when pulled apart.
Marketed as a sensory toy for children, it also appeals to adults seeking stress relief: She spent an hour just squishing kinetic sand.
