The Kinetic Sand Treasure Hunt is a terrific product that is exciting and enchanting even before opening it up. Testers raved about the appealing, adorable box, giving kudos to Spin Master’s packaging and marketing people. But what’s inside? Let’s start with the concept. Pirate treasure! Over the years, we feel confident saying that 99.9% of kids love pirate treasure. Now, add kinetic sand, and we’re talking about a winning combination. The treasure map is well done and easy to follow, but it is still challenging enough to keep your kid’s attention and heighten their excitement when they find the hidden key. But that’s not the end. Turns out those keys are keys to secret compartments underneath the chest! What reviewers really loved about this toy/game is that it can be played with repeatedly and never loses its charm. A few parents told us they like to hide other toys in the chest and make new treasure maps. How’s that for parental ingenuity? The quality of both the sand and the treasures are top-notch. Each item impressed testers as well thought out and made to a high standard. Set at a reasonable price point, parents felt like they were certainly getting their money’s worth…and then some. One note from parents to you parents reading this, kinetic sand is not self-contained. It can go where you don’t intend it, so our testers recommend that this be given to kids who can grasp the concept of “keep it in the box” or that you set up a “clean space” in advance of playtime.
