Arts & Creative Materials Institution (ACMI) Certified

• Crayola Play Sand is independently tested at Duke University to ensure that our sand and color pigments are safe.

• The non-toxic, acrylic, color dispersions are water-based, which is an environmentally friendly coloring process.

Virtually Dust-Free 100% Asbestos-Free

• Unlike beach sand, our Play Sand is screened, washed and undergoes a dust collection process throughout production. Any potential residual dust is removed after washing and grading.

Non-Irritating

• BioScience Laboratories allergen and irritation testing concluded none of the play sand components is considered a skin irritant or harmful if ingested. Each grain of sand has been screened and rounded to create a smooth, sugary, soft feel to resist abrasion.

Clean and Metal-Free

• Absolutely no chemicals were used in washing the sand, only water. Unlike some sand companies, no anti-fungal materials are added to our sand. Before bagging, a rare earth magnet is used to remove any possible metal. To further ensure a safe, contaminant-free sand is delivered to you, a special screen is used to remove any possible foreign materials that may have affected the sand during transportation.

• The washed and screened sand enters the coloring-coating process and passes through a continuous tube of pigment; a dryer heats the sand to 250°F, destroying any possible fungal or bio-material.

Durable

• Our colored sand is designed to be submerged 100% in water without color fade or bleed.

• We conduct hourly quality control tests for color removal and grade after the sand is coated.

• UV protection is built into the dispersion to avoid color fade over time.

Versatile

• Green, blue, pink, and purple safe, colorful Play Sand is perfect for children sandboxes, sandcastles, sand tables, arts and crafts, fish bowls, terrariums, school projects, floral arrangements, and wedding decor.
