5.0 out of 5 stars New shapes on every turn
I got it for my desk at work and finally it was the perfect gift for a good friend that always stopped by just to play with it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Major disappointment
When I was a kid, my older brother had this fairly-large, oval-shaped moving sand picture-toy. It was so cool and I absolutely loved to play with it until it broke and eventually disappeared one day (probably got thrown out).

Ever since then, I've been searching for the same item and this product is the closest I've seen. I was thrilled when it arrived in...

When I was a kid, my older brother had this fairly-large, oval-shaped moving sand picture-toy. It was so cool and I absolutely loved to play with it until it broke and eventually disappeared one day (probably got thrown out).

Ever since then, I've been searching for the same item and this product is the closest I've seen. I was thrilled when it arrived in the mail until I discovered that, unfortunately, it's a sad facsimile. It is much smaller than the one we had, the sand/liquid just don't flow the same way, and the sand is constantly getting stuck here and there. I recently came across one of these in our local thrift shop and noticed it had the same problem. I imagine the former owner probably donated it for that reason.

I guess I was spoiled by the quality of the original version we had years ago. I sure wish I could find it somewhere again. As far as this item is concerned, all I can say is that, sadly, they just don't make things the way they used to.

3.0 out of 5 stars Made of cheap plastic, April 13, 2007
This review is from: MOVING SAND PICTURE SCULPTURE IN ASSORTED COLORS (Misc.)
These moving sand frames are hard to find, and my wife has one that quit working. The sand is stuck and won't move at all. I bought this one, and was surprised by the cheap plastic design. I removed the (sandwiched glass w/ sand) plastic frame, and made my own from solid oak. I also made my own pedestal from oak, and stained it.
