#Since sand in a sandbox is designed before Shabbos and is not muktzeh, children may play in the sandbox. They should be careful not to pour in water because that would be a violation of losh, kneading. Additionally, it is forbidden to play in moist sand since the holes or towers have some permanence.<ref>Mishna Brurah 498:73, Shemiras Shabbos Kehilchasa 16:4</ref> | |||
#Kinetic sand is similar to moist sand and is prohibited on Shabbat since it sticks together, and its formations could last.<ref>[[Asicha_Hilchos_Shabbos_Part_2| Rav Willig (Asicha Shabbos 2 p. 10)]]</ref> | |||
