I bought two of these as Christas gifts. One for my son and one for my nephew. My kids have played with it a few times now and my wife and I are looking for an oppourunity to pitch the whole mess in the trash. Not only does this stuff look like sand, but it gets into EVERYTHING just like real sand. The play mat they include in this kit doesnt come close to containing the mess. On top of all that the stuff deosnt clump together all that well. All and all I would reccomend this product only for childeren over 8yrs and then only for outside play unless you really enjoy cleaning up.

I was very suprised to see so many negative reviews of the moonsand products. My kids LOVE it and I even enjoy playing with it with them. Yes, it can be messy but aren't most things that are a lot of fun.. I got a large under the bed rubbermaid storage box for each child to play with moon sand. I then put the "sandboxes" on an old shower curtain in the kitchen. They keep most of the sand in the boxes and comes out, I can just pick up the shower curtain and dump it back into the box. I think the molds are neat and the theme kits are adorable. It takes a bit of practice to learn how to get the sand out of the molds, but my 5 year old can easily do it.

My two daughters (age 8 & 10) were disappointed with this product. It was difficult to work with (harder than playdough) and would stick to the molds making it difficult to remove.

My daughter likes the Moon Sand ok but says it is a little hard to work with. She was excited at first but lost interest quickly when her creations didn't look quite as perfect as she thought they should.

I bought the moon sand farm kit and 4 tubs of the different colored moon sand for my 4 year. She wanted it so bad after watching the commercials. The moon sand we received was nothing like what the commercials showed..it did not expand, it was not "neater" than play doh, it is messy and it's very difficult to get out of the molds. Moon Sand is basically colored sand! I wish I would have spent my money on a better product. I feel ripped off! The commercials totally misrepresented the product. My child doesn't even like playing with the sand because it's too messy. I'm going back to Play Doh!

I got this Moon Sand for my kids for Christmas and I gave it to them as an early Christmas gift. Boy was that a mistake! It was more of an heasdach then playdough has ever been. The sand was EVERYWHERE! and yes you may be able to vacume it up but we lost 1/4 of the sand in the first play. Playdough you make sure there in the kitchen so when it falls it's no big deal, you pick up the big peices droped add them back to the mix, moon sand goes everywhere and aside from the fact that it doesn't come with very much sand to begin with so of course you need to buy more which works well for the manufacture because they have a continuing customer. Once this is done I will be happy to show it the garbage and save me another headach.

Moon sand is an "outdoor only" toy. We actually threw ours away the day we got it and the kids didn't even complain. It is just too messy. Stick with playdough.

I have read many mixed reviews on other sites for this product. I wasn't sure if I should get it or not. I am glad that I did. I have twins that both have fine motor skill difficulties. This product allows them to get in there and use their hands and fingers playing with the moon sand. They enjoy how it feels and have had a blast playing with it. They ask to play with it just about everyday. Their school teacher has encouraged them to play with it because molding the sand and moving it around can strengthen their fine motor skills.

My son received this as a birthday gift (he is 4-years-old). He was extremely excited because of what he'd seen on the commercials, but after a few minutes and a HUGE mess, he lost interest. The sand did not expand, as indicated in the instructions, it was sticky and difficult to get out of the molds.

I teach children with autism and I bought this for my classroom. My students LOVE it...most of them. It is a GREAT sensory activity for them. It is great for their fine motor skills as well as social skills. I love that I can spray is with antibacterial spray and let it dry overnight. They did manage to pop the sand box after two days, but that was kind of expected. Its not that messy...nothing a broom and a quick sweep cant handle!
