Sloomoo Institute – an experiential destination that taps into the joy of multi-sensory play through hand-crafted, artisanal slime and #satisfying experiences – is excited to announce it is teaming up with leading global children’s entertainment company Spin Master, makers of Kinetic Sand. This collaboration seeks to enhance Sloomoo Institute’s tactile installations with the addition of the mesmerizing, satisfying, “can’t put it down” nature of Kinetic Sand that provides endless creative possibilities. With installations Sloomoo is calling Kinetic Sand “Doons”, custom-made hexagonal structures at a striking height of six feet tall in bright magenta will be added to their experiential destinations. These Doons feature pie slice-like openings lined with LED lights and mirrors for a kaleidoscopic infinity effect – where you can insert your hands and play with the Kinetic Sand, experiencing it through touch and sight from every angle. As the Doons will live inside Sloomoo’s Cove, a day-glow, blacklight world allowing the sand itself to glow in the dark.
