Brookstone has invented an amazing new product that allows you to create portable sand castles. Aptly titled ‘SAND,’ it has similar characteristics to 'Play-Doh' except that it is able to flow through your fingers just like the sand on a beach.
The memories of visiting the beach as a child will come rushing back to you as soon as you start to play with it. This packable and stretchable material isn't just restricted to sand castles. The portable sand can be used as stress relief at the office or as a toy for children to stimulate their creative minds. It will never dry out, it's non toxic and the only thing it will stick to is itself. Listed at ages 5 and up, this would make a great gift for anyone.
