What makes Kinetic Sand kinetic?
Kinetic means “togetherness due to movement and energy” and is used to describe Kinetic Sand because, unlike the sand at the beach, Kinetic Sand sticks together when force is applied to it. When a liquid is added to cornstarch it starts to become thicker, similar to how sand becomes heavier with water at the beach.
How is Magic Sand made?
To produce magic sand, companies start with standard sand, silicon dioxide, and then add a very thin layer of a chemical called trimethylhydroxysilane. This coating makes the sand hydrophobic, or water-repellent. That’s in contrast to standard beach sand, which is hydrophilic, or water-loving.
How do you make kinetic sand 2 ingredients?

Kinetic sand is a fun sensory toy. It is made of 98% ultra-fine grain sand combined with 2% dimethicone (polydimethylsiloxane). Sand is not poisonous when swallowed. While kinetic sand won’t poison a person if they eat it, it does pose a choking hazard, and if large amounts are eaten it can cause constipation.
What is the science behind magic sand?
Magic sand is made from regular sand (silicon dioxide) that has been dyed and coated with tiny particles of pure silica, and exposed to a special chemical treatment making it hydrophobic. Hydrophobic means, “scared of water”, so a hydrophobic chemical is one that will not combine easily with water.
Why does magic sand not get wet?
‘Magic sand’ has a special coating that prevents water from clinging to it – that is, it makes the sand hydrophobic (‘water-hating’). When ordinary sand meets water, the water clings to the sand, getting it wet and making the grains stick together. However, water rolls right off magic sand, so it doesn’t get wet.
