I love sharing this item with friends, because as soon as people understand what it is and what it does, they can\u2019t get enough. <\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7D9PeXr7uoU?feature=player_detailpage\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div align=\"center\">\n<p>Here are a few examples of what happened when I introduced some unsuspecting members of our team and artist family to this workable, sandy substance.<\/p>\n<p>First, customer service specialists Valerie and Lauren gave this not-quite-putty a try.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/product\/kinetic-sand?source=blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cs_sand-564x564.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Play in the Kinetic Sand | UncommonGoods\" width=\"548\" height=\"548\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cs_sand-564x564.jpg 564w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cs_sand-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cs_sand-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cs_sand-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/cs_sand.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 548px) 100vw, 548px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They mushed it, squished it, and watched it flow.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gtdEHdIrztQ?feature=player_detailpage\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div align=\"center\"><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n<p>Then they practiced their sculpting skills by reproducing some of their favorite uncommon goods.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/product\/kinetic-sand?source=blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sand_goods-564x564.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Recreated in Sand | UncommonGoods\" width=\"548\" height=\"548\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sand_goods-564x564.jpg 564w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sand_goods-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sand_goods-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sand_goods-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/sand_goods.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 548px) 100vw, 548px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tabletop Buyer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/2013\/uncommon-personalities-meet-candace-holloway\/\" title=\"Meet Candace\" target=\"_blank\">Candace<\/a> brought her sand on a visit to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/2013\/artists-studio-twig-terrariums\/\" title=\"Twig\" target=\"_blank\">Twig Terrariums<\/a>, and Michelle and Katy&#8217;s reaction was priceless.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rMh9V2qOErM?feature=player_detailpage\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div align=\"center\"><\/br><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure keeping a few piles of Kinetic Sand around the office will result in many more impromptu product testing sessions.
