This review is from : Moon Sand Large School Yard Kit
Fun Alternative to Play Dough . I was a little skeptical at first but this is quite fun. It's an alternative to playdough and is quite fun. This kit comes with a few other items such as slides etc so you can create scenes. This moon sand doesn't run the risk of drying out like playdough or clay.
Moon Sand . This stuff is terrible and I would never buy it again. What a mess it makes.
Cons Review Messy boring pointless! What a waste! . I wish I had read the reviews before I bought this! My 5 yr old and I can play for hours with playdough, but we lasted about 20 minutes with the Moonsand before we gave up. It is sooo messy! I had to change his shirt, pants, and socks afterwards, then vacuum the floor and table to get all the loose sand up. Even then, the sand is still ground into the grout lines of my tile floor. The molds make cute little characters, but you can't play with them, because they fall apart. And trying to make anything else is pointless because there is not enough (we even bought separate containers and still not enough) and the sand doesn't stick together to make freeform shapes. After awhile, my son looked at me and asked "what are we supposed to do with this stuff?" and then announced that it was too boring and can we get out the playdough. After another ten minutes of cleanup, I'm so frustrated and bummed out at the wasted money.
Yuck. Messy not much fun. . If you're going to let the kids play with this stuff in the house, you may as well let them use real sand. This stuff is really no less messy than real sand, and there really isn't enough of it to do too much with. The kiddos are FAR better off outside in the sandbox. If the weather's not nice, Play Dough is a much better bet. It's so much more fun, and the dough itself is sooo cheap.
This product is pretty much pointless.
"moon sand is a waste of money" . The title of my review is a direct quote from my 8 year old. I totally agree with the other reviews. it does not hold form as shown in all the commercials. I only give it 2 stars because it caused such excitement initially and it is a great alternative to TV. must cut review short to go sweep my floor. save your money and make it yourself or buy play-doh!!!
Don't trust the commercials . My 4 year old likes and enjoys this product, and asks to play with it all the time, but I hate it. Its a huge mess, it doesn't work as well as the commercials, sure it does press into mold shape, but the second you take them out and try to handle it, it crumbles. It also stick to your hands a lot, so some goes down the drain with every use. Not to mention that it doesn't shake off your clothes like regular sand, so you have to choose between washing it by itself or risking it with other items. Overall I wish I had just said no to buying it.
Has its merits but the mess cancels them out! . We just got this set, hacked open the vaccuum sealed box and were a bit disappointed to see that the moon sand comes in plastic bags, so you have to provide your own container. After the convenience of playdough coming in its own tubs, this is disappointing, especially when you consider that moonsand is considerably more expensive.
We unfolded the small cardboard play mat, assembled the plastic swing, and we were good to go. The plastic pieces are quite sturdy. It comes with two main push moulds, girl and boy, and two smaller ones hidden underneath the car. The cone worked well but the stop sign was too flimsy to stay together, and repeatedly broke. The pack shows you can use the moon sand to push into the school house panels to decorate it. It doesn't say how you're supposed to get the stuff back out of all the nooks and crannies! I think a stiff bristled paintbrush would help.
The most important thing to note about moon sand is that it isn't dough, you can't mould it in your hands like playdough. You have to use push moulds or cutters with it. My son is 3.5 and he can't really push the moonsand into the moulds effectively enough to use them. His "creations" just fell apart and he got frustrated and bored of trying to do that, so be aware that little ones will need help from someone older to use the kit as intended.
What my son can do very well with moonsand is crumble and scatter it everywhere, and this brings me on to the main issue, the mess. It gets everywhere, and while the pack advises you to use a big clump to mop up the smaller bits, what they don't tell you in that the big clump you're using will be crumbling and shedding as you go, so it's one step forward two steps back!
My advice would be to get your kids to use moonsand on the floor on a plastic tablecloth or similar, so that you can grab the corners and just pour the whole lot back into the container afterward, (or even in a dry empty inflatable pool!) as otherwise you're going to lose a lot of it up the vaccuum cleaner at the end of every play session. Also I only let my son use one colour at a time as I know they'd get instantly mixed up. Overall a bit disappointing. If it came with some method of cleaning up and tubs for the sand, I'd be a lot more positive about the product.
Fun Sand . I LOVE Moon Sand it is so much ffuunn i could play with it all day! A very very fun toy. Good for all ages!

toys . Moon Sand is awesome. Kids have a lot of fun with it. It can get messy, but is pretty easy to clean up.
biggest mess ever . Buy moonsand only if you enjoy spending hours chiseling this stuff out of crevices, your child's shoes, the carpet, the patio, etc. It is by far the messiest toy we have gotten for our child. Far worse than play-doh or even regular sand. I will never buy it again!
