In reply to aime. City Star is a variety shop found across the Middle East and as far as I know, most of their items are not easily found online. I did link a similar option in the post though!

In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah! We got our sand directly from a beach in Kuwait. :D I wouldn't recommend using the craft stuff... We've tried it before and unfortunately our dough just became a slightly gritty, mushy mess. I'm not an expert on the purchasable play sand, but I have looked at the options at Home Depot in the past and some were clearly labelled and disclosed that they contained crystalline silica, which is toxic. I personally think your best option is the beach. :)

HI Jen- Did you purchase the sand from a store? I’m finding crushed quartz versions at Joann’s, Michael’s, etc. but it’s not like beach find sand. Also wondering about regular brown sand box sand. I found some of this at Petsmart: http://www.petsmart.com/fish/decor-gravel-and-substrate/gravel-sand-and-stones/caribsea-ocean-direct-caribbean-live-aquarium-sand-16762.html?cgid=300103

Also found a version of calcium carbonate sand there. Is any of this stuff from Petsmart toxic?

Curious what works the best and where did you end up finding it? Thanks!

We gave these as party favors for my daughter’s ocean themed birthday. All of the parents said they were a huge hit with their kids. My kids love them too and play for hours. Thanks for the awesome idea! We included toothpick beach umbrellas, toy sea stars and big shells. We used sandbox sand from the hardware store. It worked great!

How long does the playdoh last in the container? I’d like to make them in advance and give them out throughout the year

Which program you use to make your great documents and labels? They’re always perfect. I’d love to learn to make documents as nice as yours.
