  1. Can you buy the sand in small quantities? I've only heard of 50 lb bags.

  2. I got my sand at walmart. It was in the craft section, near the flowers and vases. They have sea shells and different grains of sand. I got the super fine one pound bag, which had about four cups of sand in each. I hope that helps.
