Moon Sand, A Fun Invention For All By Holly Mccoy on Sep 20, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Moon Sand was a purchase I made about 6 months ago for my 6 year old son's birthday. The commercials I saw for it looked like fun, and my son and daughter both love to play in the sand. The kit comes with a fold out mat, with raised sides, to play with the sand in. It comes with three or four colors to start with, and you can choose more colors to purchase separately. the best part of moon sand is that it feels like regular sand, but sticks and forms together alot better. It is much easier to build with and does not require any water to stick together. My only complaint is that Moon Sand can be a bit messy, especially when you have a rambunctious two year old playing in it! I would recommend putting down an old blanket, sheet, or the like underneath the play area where you'll be putting out the Moonsand. Still, it does vacuum up easy if bits get into the carpet. All in all, Moon Sand is a fun and easy toy that my children enjoyed immensely.
