SPACECARE Magnetic Zen Sand Garden with 1.5 Lbs Iron Fillings, 4 Magnets and 3 Tools, Wooden Box Toy for Science, Stress Relief, Creativity and Children Education

I got this as a toy/zen for me!! I really love this. I wanted stuff like this as a kid! It is a little messy and the iron powder dust can be hard to get off hands. (I dug my hands in cause, why not?) I did order extra iron powder as the amount in the kit barely covers the box's inside diameter, that was worth it!! Only suggestion to anyone looking to buy it, have another larger container to put the box in. The box itself is not leak proof and if your lazy like me you don't want to empty the iron powder after every use. Oh and maybe stain the box as it's just barely sanded.

Fun to use, not enough

Only two complaints with this kit:1) The tools are iron and magnetic, meaning the magnets in the garden interfere with your gardening. Wood/Plastic would have been much better.2) There's hardly any "sand" in the kit that arrives. Fortunately, additional sand is cheap (and worth it).I currently have the box on a table at work. It's a regular attraction and coworkers are always coming over to play with the sand and see the cool designs the magnets make. The top of the box split slightly when I dropped it, but it did NOT bust open, so that's a plus to me.Overall, I love the product, but recommend the above tweaks.

This is a wonderful tool to help explain magnetic energetic forces of energy!

I came across a similar magnetic sand box where I work and kids just love it! I went looking online for the same exact one but couldn't find it, but found this one instead and boy am I happy I found this one instead! The quality of the box and the tools are amazing. My only quirk is that it doesn't come with enough of the iron powder. So if you purchase this, I highly recommend that you purchase the extra iron powder as well.

It's cool, but don't touch it. The filings stain your hands! I bought it for a teacher who was creating a "Zen Den" for her students. She's science-y so I thought she'd like it. But the iron filings stain.

It was a good anniversary gift for my husband, he started playing with it as soon as it got in! I ordered extra metal fillings which haven’t come in yet, but even without it’s fun to play with.

Great product if you don't mind your hands getting pretty dirty. The black stuff clings like dust and after of playing with it a while your hands look like you've been playing in ash lol and the texture on your hands afterward isn't great. It washes off easy enough though. I love how fuzzy it looks when you use the magnets. Great sensory toy but you could definitely find the same for a lot cheaper. Overall, if you have the money to spend, I'd recommend it. :)
