    I mean, actually eating it isn’t necessarily the thought. Putting it—and especially in the case of nut allergies their hands—in their mouth is the main consideration. I can’t speak to the rest of the design choices.

      Nut allergies, sure. But I’ve never heard of someone with celiac not being able to touch something with gluten in it. Someone here claims their child does, but that sounds surprisingly niche to be in a regular toy aisle. The sand just mentions about being gluten free.

      I don’t know, I just don’t know why anyone would expect sand to have gluten in it in the first place, even a parent with a gluten-sensitive kid. It’s sand.

          Okay, but who ever heard of sand that wasn’t hypoallergenic? Is that really a thing? Has someone with celiac or a nut allergy had that allergy triggered by sand?

              Yeah, but as far as I know, it’s sand and corn starch. At least that’s what my daughter used in the girl scouts.

              And there’s such a thing as a corn allergy as well, so I guess those people have to look for the corn-free kinetic sand?

                  Not according to my searching. I mean kinetic sand is so damn easy to make, it’s not worth buying period. But if you’re really worried about the gluten thing, it’s so easy to make it yourself.
