What about the 'decorative' sand that you can buy to use with candles. Would that work?

For the special sand you use for kids sand pits, I think toysarus sell it in smallish bags. I may have seen it also in B&Q, but not sure about that.

Pet shops! Pet shops that stock fish/reptiles will have little bags of sand for £2-3 for using as substrate. It's usually in the fish section than the reptile section, HTH

If you only need such a small amount perhaps a local playgroup or after school club would help you out. It might be worth asking them if you can buy a small amount from them.
