Magic Sand - anyones kids have it?

It is the worst toy I have ever bought DD's - luckily it had been reduced to £6 from £17!!Shock Its messy and very hard for them to actually create anything with....

Actually its not the worst - nothing can beat the Amazing Amanda she got for Xmas - the biggest pile of c**p ever.

Anyone else with any 'warnings' to others??

Magic Maize.

A craft thing you dip in water so why the water soluble dye? The water soluble dye which does not wash easily off your child??

Our kids had that magic sand too, its totally useless and made so much mess!!!!

I think I let them play with it one day and has never been out since - I hid it in the shed!!!

Amazing Amanda cost sixty quid and is the biggest pile of rubbish going - she is meant to recognise the childs voice and be fed, played with and put to bed etc. God I hate the sight of the awful thing - she dosn't even work properly.

Haven't heard of Amazing Ally

amazing ally has a set of card things that you put in her back then she answers questions. She looks like the bride of chucky.

Dh said we would wake up one night and hear her say 'you must kill mummy and daddy now'
