TORONTO, Aug. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Spin Master Corp. (TSX: TOY) (www.spinmaster.com), a leading global children's entertainment company is making waves with its new Kinetic Sand Project PlanetTM collection which seeks to engage kids in open-ended sensory play and educate them on the importance of sustainability and protecting our eco-systems.
The Kinetic Sand Project Planet playsets are made with 100% Ocean-Bound Recycled plastics, defined as plastic waste that is at risk of ending up in the ocean. Each playset is ocean themed, inviting kids to explore coral reefs and their vibrant underwater ecosystems, the amazing lives of sea turtles and the importance of the oceans that cover more than 70% of the earth's surface.
The commitment to sustainability extends beyond play.

Each playset includes an educational fact card and link to more resources on the Project Planet website including videos and activity sheets.
As part of the collaboration, Spin Master is contributing $100,000 US to The Nature Conservancy, supporting their mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. The global organization works in over 70 countries and territories. For more information on The Nature Conservancy, visit www.nature.org.
