This was one of my favorites. Then one day I came home and one of my parent's friends kids had gotten a hold of it and "sprayed" the bathroom with silly sand, I was so pissed. But really the only thing you could build was little mountains, maybe I just wasn't that creative with it. It's the simple stuff we all remember though isn't it?

I remember playing with this in my Grandparents restaurant as a small child. I have discovered it was first made in in 1966. The kind I remember you mixed in a bottle with water then dripped it creating sand castles and such.

I remember it like Betty does...it was bottles that you "dripped" and pretty much all you could make was mountains or small castles. It came with a special round tray that had some kind of paper on it (I think it absorbed the extra water) I think it came with several bottles and you could have a few different colors?
