Last weekend I saw and experienced something I'd never heard of before. Kinetic Sand.

From Wikipedia:
"Kinetic Sand is a three-dimensional building toy made of 98% sand and 2% polydimethylsiloxane (a type of silicone oil) that mimics the physical properties of wet sand. Kinetic Sand was originally designed for sculpting but is commonly sold as indoor play sand for children. In appearance it resembles light brown sugar. It can be molded, it sticks to itself but not to most other materials or surfaces, and it does not dry out."

I heard of it from a psychotherapist friend, who works with children and has a large pot of it in his office. Not sure how childish, but I immediately envisioned creations... This was in British Columbia, in a World Championship of Sand Sculpture making, of sand. Hopefully not in my coffee (as brown sugar) though...
