ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
I would like to know what kind of sand others are using for sand boxes or
dino dig areas. We turn a large section of our museum into a giant sand box for
"Sandtastico" on July 4th weekend through the rest of the summer. We have used
masonry sand in the past because it is the right texture, but when looking it
up, it appears that maybe masonry sand has carcinogenic materials in it? I'm at
a loss. We want to provide a safe environment for our kids, but would hate to
cancel this event that has become the highlight of our summer for the last 3
years. I'd appreciate any opinions or ideas.
