My Project

Kinetic sand provides a unique tactile experience that engages students' senses. Manipulative kinetic sand encourages the development of fine motor skills.

The soft texture is soothing to touch which can help students with sensory processing needs or those who need a calming activity to manage stress and anxiety.

Kinetic sand is versatile in fostering creativity and imaginative play. Students can engage in open ended play and creative expression which can also enhance cognitive skills and problem solving skills. Kinetic sand is also used for sensory needs to help student with focus and self-regulation.
