Magic Sand is a toy made from sand coated with a hydrophobic (“water fearing”) compound. When exposed to water, the material aggregates into cylindrical clumps in order to minimize contact surface area. Because of its hydrophobic properties, the sand returns to its original shape when removed from the water.
