Would quikrete all purpose sand or quikrete play sand be better? Which is the best texture?

I do a mix of both myself, but the playsand is probably the best option if you're just starting out. It's been washed, screened and sterilized so there are no worries. :)

I personally prefer their all purpose sand :) I feel like it has a mixture of textures - and has a little clay base to it - so it holds form great - especially mixed with ee.
Truly blessed to have incredible creatures, wonderful friends and my amazing family in my life!! I'm very thankful & grateful for all of them! www.thehealthyhermit.com
