This review is from : Bubber Bucket - 5 oz: Purple
Hours of Great Fun . The kids love this stuff. Heck, I love this stuff.

It is like a cross between cotton candy and brown sugar and has provided playtime for my children and their friends for HOURS at a time. We cover the table with a plastic mat, get out all the kitchen utensils and cookie cutters, and have a blast! Try the cheese graters on it, it's amazing! We even molded a turkey and carved it.

One reviewer had a problem with how messy it is. Really, it is much less messy than other doughs or sands. Much less. It's nowhere near the mess that Delta Sand is - that stuff was a nightmare to clean up, it got everywhere at the slightest provocation! The mess you will end up cleaning after playing with Bubber is minimal. It is easily brushed or rinsed off any utensil. We have fabric chairs it occasionally gets ground into them, but a pass over with the vacuum cleans it up no problem and with almost no effort.

Perhaps the mess some people experience is from when it dries out a bit. Though it never fully dries out, it can become a bit crumbly when exposed to air. Just work it around a bit and it becomes sticky/fluffy again. Sometimes you just have to be willing to clean up a little mess and let the fun happen.

It is on the spendy side. We went ahead and bought the refill bag. It was around $30 for five times the amount you get in the bucket. We filled a Tupperware shoebox with most of it and gave some away with birthday presents. As much as we play with the stuff, that was the way to go.
Bubber Bucket - 5 oz: Purple Reviews
Bubber is a huge disappointment . This stuff is sort of like play doh, but infinitely less satisfying. Molding into anything more detailed than a round blob results in fragmentation. The little pieces fall apart into powder which is nuisance to clean up. My kid loves play doh but Blubber was a bust.
Bubber Bucket - 5 oz: Purple Opinions
Lots of fun with Bubber! . I have three children, ages 7, 5, and 3. My 7-year-old has autism and my 3-year-old is mildly "on the spectrum." So we've got kids of various ages, abilities, and interests. We got this bucket of green bubber about two months ago and it has been in almost daily use around the house (we also have play doh and moon sand, but they usually request Bubber). This is a great sensory activity, and everyone has fun with it. Even the kids' therapy aids enjoy playing with it! It molds well, you can carve it, it doesn't dry out, is easy to wipe or vacuum up, and the kids like to make all kinds of things with it. We are just about out of our green bucket...although it doesn't dry out, eventually with my little ones it ends up under the table or something and gets tossed or vacuumed. Two months of fun for $12 isn't bad.
great fun!!! . The Bubber is so lightweight, soft, and not gritty. I actually enjoyed just squishing it in my own hands, and found myself stopping to play with the kids each time I walked by.

Did I mention that my kids sat for hours and played with this stuff? My daughter said that she likes the soft feel when she rubs it on her hands. She has spent the most time playing with the Bubber, making homes for her toy horses and using the knife to cut and pretend to cook.
Fun...but not worth the price . Although I do really like the texture, I don't think that this product is worth as much as they are asking for it. Yes, it is a very unique texture, and it is light and non gritty just as they say it will be. But I don't know how anyone would really create anything with it, when you try to form anything it pretty much crumbles in your hand. So while I liked just squeezing it, I couldn't really make much of anything with it.
great activity . I first saw this at a toy store in Sun Valley Idaho. They sold out very quickly so I bought it for my grandkids to use at my house. The best thing about it is ease of cleanup. Just vacuum it up. The kids love it.

Cons Review
FUN!!! . My kids LOVE bubber...it is so strange to play with and a lot of fun. It reminds me of ground up erasers. Yes, it is messy...but the fun factor is worth it. And it vacuums up, no problem. We just use it at the table and I plan to vacuum afterwards. I also factor in that it is not going to last forever since a good portion of it goes into the vacuum/trash each time we play with it.
Terrible Mess! . I never take the time to write reviews, but had I known what a gigantic mess this stuff made, I never would have purchased it. I'm hoping to save someone else from the same hassle I just endured! While my 3 year old son enjoyed playing with this and making molds with it, tiny chunks of the Bubber CONSTANTLY are coming off of it and falling all over the place. There are little chunks EVERYWHERE and there is no way to stop it. After I realized this, I only allowed my son to play with the Bubber outside. Even still, the Bubber would stick to his feet and he would track it all over the place. The package says that it deosn't stain, but once the bubber is rubbed into fabric, it leaves a redsidue of powder that is difficult to scrub off. My son managed to get the blue Bubber all over his hands, legs, and feet and just a gentle wipe down was not getting it off. We had to take a bath to clean him up. I know that I sound like a crazy Mom that insists on keeping things immaculate-- this could not be further from the truth! This stuff is just an out of control hassle that even a laid-back mom who easily deals with drit, mud, and dog hair cannot tolerate! I MUCH prefer playdough as it doesn't leave little pieces that are next to impossible to contain and clean up. Another note: my two yellow Labs very much enjoyed eating the pieces of Bubber that fell off. After just a day or two of playing with this, between all the pieces that fell off and were eaten or rubbed into the ground, there was no Bubber left. If your child doesn't have a gluten intolerance and YOU don't have the patience of Job, go for Playdough.
Do NOT buy this item! . I recently bought this item for my Play-doh loving 4 year old in hopes that I would be able to avoid buying a new set of Play-doh each month due to it drying out with constant use. We received it today and excitedly opened the package only to find out that it is TERRIBLE. It immediately crumbled every where and began to go all over the floor. I grabbed a cookie sheet and put it on that, which helped a bit, but didn't prevent us from stepping on what was already on the floor. We then walked on our carpet and I now have blue Bubber ground all in my carpet (it's easy enough to scrub up, but still a very big pain). The Bubber didn't hold together well enough to even make a simple snake, much less the fish that my son saw on the container which he begged me to make. After playing with it, my mom asked my son, "How was the Bubber?" He replied, "I like Play-doh much better!" Hope this helps others keep from making the same mistake I made in thinking that Play-doh can ever be replaced!
Bubber (i.e. Moon Dough) . I bought some Bubber (also known as Moon Dough) this weekend - just to check it out. It feels very soft and very lightweight just as they stated on the product description. It's fun to mold things and to use with cookie cutters. It is however messy (a lot like Moon Sand) because it flakes apart when you use it (similar to brown sugar but blue).
