Good enough to play in

Date:November 11, 2009

"It's sand. Kids play in it. What else do you need to know?
By the way, if you have one of those Crabby sandboxes you'll need 2 bags of this sand to fill it....and the kids will have it empty by August. I don't remember telling them to dump it out on the patio."

Poor Quality

Date:September 14, 2008

"I found that when this sand gets wet it will stain children's clothing a rust colour. If wet sand is put on light coloured stucco it also stains it. If water collects in the sand box, the water turns a rusty brown colour. The label says this sand is washed... I ended up dumping two bags of the three I purchased in the back alley to get rid of it."

great for the kids

Date:August 29, 2008

"This sand is perfect for our sons sand box! It would be a little nicer if they kept it under cover at the store because we bought our 3 bags just after some rain and I think it doubled the weight! But hey it keeps the kids happy!"

Sand-tastic!

Date:April 2, 2008

"Great play value for kids -- and when they tire of it - just spread it around on the lawn or garden. If you have cats in the neighbourhood though, keep your sandbox covered when not in use. 'Nuff said...."

does this sand contain silica?

Answer:

Hi Smalley.
I actually went to canadian tire and read the bag and it does contain silica. Always check the weight, it's a good indicator if there's light weight fillers. This bag weighs 18kg and natural sand with the same volume weighs around 23kg.
Rona has what they call beach sand. Washed and seived natural sand for a little over a dollar more. Also, a much cheap alternative is checking landscaping material retailers. They'll have natural sand in bulk if you have a large sand pit to fill.

good luck! I hope this helps. I hunted around like a mad woman to find silica free sand this spring..
