Magic Sand Desert

This is the PERFECT way to play with a sandy desert!

Did you know that 20% of our earth is a desert, and while there is not much rain, there is a vast number of animals, but, plants and other species living perfectly happy in these extreme conditions.

This desert play kit focuses on a sandy desert, there are other kinds too. A large part of the Arctic & Antartica is a desert, covered in ice, it’s called a cold desert. There are deserts on beaches too.

The Magic Sand Desert includes:

A 750g pot of magic (Kinetic/modelling) sand.

• We use Creall Modelling sand as it is:
  • Made in the NL
  • Contains no preservative
  • In a recycled, reusable storage pot
  • Does not dry out and is not sticky.

A cactus cutter.

This can be used to stamp cactus shapes into the sand, filled with sand – it has a nice high side or it can be used for play dough play later on.

• The cactus is food safe and can be used to bake with once you are done playing.

A full set of desert Safari animals.

• These wonderful figurines are realistic, BPA-free and non-toxic.
• Safari pieces are absolutely wonderful to play with, the perfect size for little hands.

Three eco stones.

• These loose parts are made from rice husks that get thrown away during rice production.

A coconut shell, or in this case, ant hill.

• The perfect view point for animals to take watch!
• It takes ants about a year to build 30cm onto their home. Some anthills can grow to 3m high!

A Let’s Investigate stone animal, selected as it lives in the desert too!

• The type of animal may vary.
• They are great to print into the play dough with and feel with your hands!
• You can also use them to create wax crayon rubbings

Wood chips to create your animals own home and use for food, ants love eating wood!

A natural wooden sun stamp
