Playing with Sand Indoors
Recently, playing with sand indoors using a special kind of newly developed sand has become popular. This is because there has been a tendency for parents not to allow their children to play in outdoor sandpits because of hygiene concerns. This sand is antibacterial, softer, more granulated, and easily solidifies in water.
