Default Playpit sand vs builders sand

My girlfriend wants me to pick up some playpit sand this week for her
son's sandpit. Why?
What is wrong with builders sand for a sandpit? A quick look on google
suggests that playpit sand is washed, dust free and will not stain
clothes but as he is 4 years old and guaranteed to come in with dirty
stained clothes even if he has not been in the sandpit what's the point?


In these parts, sharp sand is a better replacement for playpit sand than
builders. It behaves more like beach sand and does not have as much
yellow clay in it.
