Get Your Christmas Shopping Done Now.... No Seriously

I have watched this a few times and was thinking about getting some for the kids. Then I thought, forget the kids.


And in case you are wondering what the other 2% is made..... the website Geekologie states.....

Kinetic Sand, a sand play toy made from 98% sand, and 2% Polydimethyl siloxane, a "silicon-based organic polymer...particularly known for its unusual rheological (or flow) properties."

So ya, for anyone who was asleep or just skipped their advanced chemistry 303 class, polydimethyl siloxane is a compound made up of silicon, hydrogen, oxygen, and or course carbon. As the source of knowledge, Wikipedia, states the compound is a clear, inert, non-toxic polymer with unique 'flow' properties found in all sorts of products from contact lenses, shampoo, and food. Hmmm, polydimethyl siloxane.
