I've picked up that children's sand that I was talking about, but I'm going to return it. It has silica in it which is known to cause cancer and lung disease if breathed in. It says to wear a respirator with continuous use.

How is this safe for children?? Let alone animals. Every play sand I've found so far for a reasonable price has silica in it.

Ugh.
I honestly would feel more comfortable with that decorative sand that I posted earlier from Amazon... silica and quartz free is a huge plus in my book.
