Moon Sand Demolition Kit

Moon Sand Demolition Kit - From the Manufacturer
Create great buildings easily and destroy them quickly!
Product Description
Moon Sand - Sand you can mold. The amazing moldable, holdable, squishable, squashable, sand that never dries out!

This review is from : Moon Sand Demolition Kit
Paying too much for the container . My nephew (five y. o.) absolutely loves this product--and he's picky. Everything's cool about it. Except the price. I shelled out 40 odd dollars for it and found that most of the cash went toward the container, which is basically a small, plastic "sand box". I've since purchased extra moon sand at WalMart for around 7-10 dollars, so that means that the container is around 30 bucks. Way too much. But as I said, he loves it.

Moon Sand Destruction . This is a great outside toy, but beware it gets everywhere. I would say it is cool for a little bit, but after the first time of use, it gets harder and harder to clean up and is very messy.
Moon Sand Demolition Kit Opinions
Big Disappointment . My 3 y.o. got this as a present and was so excited. He LOVES construction equipment and diggers. He got so frustrated that the sand will not come out of the digger, which is supposed to mold it into blocks. My husband and I sat there banging it on the table trying to get it out and squeezing the sides of the mold. Eventually we had to dig it out of the mold, which just made it crumble. The only time we can get anything to come out of the mold is if it is so under packed that it will not form a complete block, and then they don't stack. My son was so frustrated and upset he couldn't build anything. I felt so bad. Then to make it worse, I had a huge mess to vacuum up because the container does not contain the sand.
Love it. . My son 3 and a half loves this toy. He gets to play with it by himself on the table when his little brother is napping. There is a bit of clean up, but worth it for a toy he can play with by himself instead of using the computer or video games. (I found this on clearance for $9 so I thought is was well worth that price.)
It's a great "back porch" toy~ my kids really love it. . My children got some of this quite a long time ago and we're just now needing more. It is, in our house, for OUTSIDE play only- but it never dried out, and they loved it. Even when my little on left the container open out in the yard one evening, the next day, a bit of drying in the sun for the dew, and POW, moon sand fun again. It IS messy, and it is a bit expensive, but for all the toys out there that fall apart or just don't do what they say they will, this to me was still worth it. I'm actually here shopping for refills and new molds for them.
Too messy! . If you haven't used Moon Sand yet...here is the short version.

1) It is like sand that sticks together when compressed to make shaped...the end result looks like a playdo shape.
2) The base form is sand...so guess what...clean up is a distaster.

Bottom Line -

My wife and all her mommy friends have sworn off Moon Sand products because they create a huge mess that is not simple to clean up.
Moon Sand Kit . OK, so it's basically a messy version of a play doh kit that gets EVERYWHERE. If you don't mind fine grain particles in every crevace of your house, by all means, buy this. My son loves it but it's a parent's nightmare clean up if you have a "spirited child" who may stray from just using it in the alloted tray it comes with. Get PlayDoh, save the mess and the kid will enjoy it better. Now, for objectivity reasons, my son is only 3 and doesn't understand why it's not cool to build the sand man on the diningroom table placemats.. so that being said, I'm probbaly just biased.

Cons Review
over priced . For the money it really doesn't entertain. Not enough molds and only 2 bags of sand. Not impressed.
its like a beach came into your house lol . I mean its sand. Sure its 'special' sand that never dries out and sticks together but its still sand. It also gets everywhere, no matter how well you try to keep it in the container. I had to vacuum our table, chairs and carpet everytime after the kids were done playing with it. It just got to the point where I thru it out after a month or so. Sure they had a great time with it but it was driving me nuts. Maybe it would make a good outside toy..
Also the sand bags are not reclosable so you have to put them in ziplocks or little tupperware containers.
Poor quality horribly messy . Product is extremely messy, imbedded in shoes and our deck, does not wipe up; think gum. Product is lost when in use, versus lets say a clay product, as it falls onto ground, does not stay intact. Finally, the construction trucks are about as durable as the faux trucks from my sons store bought birthday cake. This product is at the top of my list for poor quality ... I frankly feel ripped off.

Moon Sand Bake Shop Playset

Cakes and cookies and cupcakes, oh my. Bake, paint and display the ultimate Moon Sand dessert selection.

This review is from : Moon Sand Bake Shop Playset
Stick with playdoh . My kids were very excited for moon sand but it has only been pulled out twice and played with for less than 30 minutes each time. The sand just does not stick together like it shows and impossible for my two kids under 5 to do by themselves. I thought it would be a good alternative to playdoh but the only place I will allow it now is outside. It makes such a big mess and is just not worth it. I don't like the mess of playdoh either but it's not as bad as this moon sand. Unfortunately, not impressed.
Moon Sand Bake Shop Playset Reviews
Good but messy . This toy keeps my 3 year old occupied for a good 30 - 45minute stretch. It is a very messy toy. The sand gets everywhere and is impossible to clean up. I would only use it outside. Also it comes with three different color moonsands. They quickly got mixed into one dull purple after one day of playing.
Moon Sand Bake Shop Playset Opinions
What a Mess! . What a mess! This stuff is best used outside but then you still have the colored sand remnants to clean off the patio. Yuck, yuck, and more yuck. Also, I'm just not sure how you reuse this stuff. Play-doh is better. Pass on this.
Great buy! . We love our moon sand. It's pretty messy and quite an ordeal to get out and play with, but my daughter loves it and it has held up quite well. I definitely recommend.
Fun toy . I got the Moon sand for my 12 year old daughter for Christmas and she likes it a lot. I like that it is not as messy as playdough. the box it comes with makes it easier to clean up and the Moon sand stays fresh way longer than playdough. I would buy this product again.
Play in the sand in winter! . My five year old received this set for Christmas and has played with it much more than anything else so far. My eleven year old and I have had a lot of fun with it too! Initially I was worried about the mess, but we just put a plastic tablecloth on the table and shake it outside when we are done- easy cleanup! We store each color of sand in a ziploc bag, which helps keep things neat, especially as we mix more of our own colors. It is true that you can't really recreate many of the details pictured on the box because the colors mix together in the molds, but we have enjoyed making single colored layers and putting those together, so not a deal breaker for us.
Like it a lot! . Bought this for my almost four-year-old. It's not perfect, but I was surprised that the cupcakes (and cakes) turned out so well! The first time I pulled out one of the cakes that I had added pink "icing" to the edges of she was SOOO excited. The mixer is difficult to use (hard to turn) & obviously the moon dough is a little messier than other play doughs & will need to be replaced, but overall- totally worth it. I would just tell anyone that might have trouble making cute cakes to make sure to press in the dough really well so everything is stuck good & stable. They tap right out pretty easily!
The box is so misleading . Like many other toys these days it looks great on the box and gets the child all excited but when you actually try to make the items pictured on the box it's impossible. My daughter is 8yrs old and wanted this toy so bad but after opening it she was very disappointed it's impossible to make the cupcakes etc. look cute like pictured and the mixer is very cheap. I feel like i really wasted my money :/

Cons Review
Will trade for toys made out of lead . What a mess! Says it doesn't stick to anything, but it sure embeds itself in everything. Within 30 minutes, a large area was covered with extremely fine, extremely sticky, purple dust nano-particles. Not water soluble so don't think you are washing up. Ended up tossing out the moon sand, tossing out the table cloth, and power washing the children. We did try to salvage the plastic shape molds, but they were also covered with fine insoluble dust that washing has almost no effect, so I had to give up. Some moon sand fell on the deck (thank goodness we were outside on a picnic table). I swept it off but now it is forever part of the local ecosystem. It says it is "Non toxic", but I sure would not want to inhale any of it. I can see the future 'purple lung' class action law suits coming. Surely a weaponized version of this substance is in the works at a military base somewhere.

Two stars overall, rather than one, as the kids loved it. (They do love a mess).
Five stars for education value - for the parent who will need to research a diversity of cleaning techniques and the symptoms associated with future medical side effects.

Makes an excellent gift for the perfect-Martha-Stewart-with-the-pristine-house type that you don't like.
My 3 year old LOVES it!! . My daughter BEGGED for this for Christmas. It was the only thing she asked Santa for. I was able to find it on Amazon for 1/2 price and got it shipped through Amazon Prime. It arrived and I worried that my daughter wouldn't be able to figure it out. I was pleasantly surprised when we opened it up on Christmas morning. My experience as a preschool teacher had already taught me to kneed the moon sand myself before allowing her to play with it, I have found that this just helps the moon sand adhere to itself and makes it easier on kids who want to build things right away. It gets easier to mold the more you play with it! My 3 year old can make nearly perfect cakes and I find it very easy to mold them and get them to come out of the molds! We bought extra moon sand and this way she can make multiple cupcakes, cakes, and decorations. She really enjoys the mixer, which I will agree is cheaply made and is sometimes difficult to crank. Overall I really enjoy this set and our daughter LOVES it. We are planning on buying this set for a birthday gift in February.

Moon Sand Pet Shop Theme - Squish it, shape it, mold it... Moon Sand never dries out! Pick a color and press it into the pet shop, then build up and down and all around with Moon Sand. Molds like dough; cleans up easily and won't stick or stain.

This review is from : Moon Sand Pet Shop Theme
What a mess!! . "It's a nightmare," said my wife. I don't see how our five-year-old daughter can play with this stuff indoors without making a mess. The sand sticks to everything and gets everywhere. We put a plastic mat out to catch the sand, but that doesn't completely solve the problem. Everybody says this stuff is really cool but I don't see it. I'd stick with play dough.
Moon Sand Pet Shop Theme Reviews
Be Prepared for the Mess . Got this as a gift for our son. It is an artificial sand complete with molds and tools plus some added little toys. The sand have pretty candy colors and are very attractive. It is a lot of fun for the kids, but at the same time it is frustrating for them attempting to create critters with the molds as the sand crumbles very easily. It needs some help from grown-ups to press the mold harder to make a press. Still, once they hold them with their hands they crumbles. Obviously, not for kids who love to put things in their mouth.

It is just no way you can have this toy played inside the house especially near carpets or your couch. Be prepared for a big mess.
Moon Sand Pet Shop Theme Opinions
Very Messy! . Be prepared for a huge mess! I thought this stuff would be stickier such as play dough but it is just an upgraded version of sand! My daughter has fun with it but it makes a super huge mess and gets little bits of sand everywhere. I have to sweep it up everytime and it's impossible to get it all. It's also hard to put away becuase it doesn't stick together very well and when you make the shapes in the molds they break super easily. It's fun for kids but if you get it make sure they play with it outside where you can just hose off the area!

Cons Review
Overhyped underperforming. Stick with play dough! . My kids have been screaming for Moonsand ever since the heavily marketed commercials came out. They got the Pet Shop set for a birthday present. In my opinion it is overpriced, over-hyped, and under-performing. The moonsand is very much like slightly damp sand. Not quite damp enough to actually stick together the way play-dough does, but enough to make molds and impressions. Very slight pressure causes it fall apart. Try to imagine using regular sand and picking up your sandcastle after it's dried in the sun a bit.

In addition, this stuff is *messy*! The sand acts like sand. It gets stuck on your hands and fingers, flakes off, and gets everywhere sand likes to get. This makes it worse for smaller children than play-dough, because small kids inevitably rub their faces with sand-covered hands, and smear the sand in the nose, eyes, and mouth. I know play-dough is safely passable if ingested... I'm not sure about this stuff.

Unfortunately, it doesn't clean up as easy as a bucket of sand does either. Real sand will stick to a damp towel. This stuff does not. Real sand that can't be picked up will dry out and can be easily vacuumed, but not this stuff. It's right on the bizarre line between too moist and too dry to clean up easily.

Not recommended for small kids. And recommended for *outdoor* play, unless you like purple sand in your carpet.

All in all, I would stick with play-dough for indoor creativity, and a real sandbox with a three dollar bag of play sand and a bucket of water for outdoor sand play. This stuff is all hype.
Kids love it--just prepare for mess . My boys love Moon Sand and I've actually had fun with it too. I just know that I need to be prepared for a mess. The sand castle set helps with the little sand box to store everything in. It's not something I can leave them to play on their own. But keeping that in mind, it's different enough from playdough to make it worth having (in addition to playdough which we love). My son adds that he recommends this toy to everyone!
Moon Sand pet shop . Moon Sand didn't have that great of reviews, but it was recommended by autism related therapist as she used with her children. I like it; Tim likes it; it's not that messy with the sand castles container. I think I want to keep the colors separate.
