Moonsand: Monster Truck Mania By circusmama on Oct 08, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

This looked like a neat playset. It had the blue moonsand, truck molds, tire molds and a mechanic mold. It also has a mat you can play on. However, upon opening the package, we discovered that it would not work for our children.

For one thing, this "sand" does not clump together as easily as one might expect. It just falls apart into little crumbly pieces, so you're left with a big mess. It also is not nontoxic, which is not acceptable when you have a child who likes to put everything into her mouth. The molds are okay, but the tires do not stay on the monster truck and the mechanic mold tends to separate into two pieces.

We ended up throwing away the sand and keeping the molds and the man. They work well for playdoh, which is what we will stick to.
