SOURCE: Is Silica gel litter safe for kittens?
I would avoid using Silica gel litter in a kittens litter box and wait until they are slightly older. Young kittens are prone to tasting cat litter (simply out of curiosity). Silica crystals can be harmful if ingested and for this reason alone should not be used.
Little kittens require a litter box with sides low enough for them to get in and out easily. You should visit http://www.shopzilla.com/cat-supplies/litter+boxes/31000200/products and you should find the right litter box for your kitty.

Hi Sami Hodges, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add the following details in the comment box?
You say you have tried all the different tricks...
?I have to ask about these tricks to know if you have been exposed to them as ideas, otherwise, I wouldn't know where to begin helping...
?
?- Have you tried different litter?
?- Have you gone with the kitten to the box and gently showed her how to scratch in the litter, sometimes at that age they will play in it, which is totally fine.
?- Have you moved the litter box to where she's urinating?
?- If she's missing the box or going outside of the box, have you gotten a lid for the box?
?- Have you rewarded her for successful box usage?
?
?Let's start there, and if you have, I'll have more options to try for you.
