Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Folding into an easy-to-carry case, the Moon Sand Castle Play Set from Spinmaster packs all the fun of the beach -- but without the mess. Recommended for ages 3 to 7 years old, Moon Sand never dries out, meaning kids can leave it out and play to their heart's content, again and again.

Hands-On Fun
The incredible Moon Sand can be squished, squashed, molded and stacked much easier than real sand. Unlike most clays and dough, though, it doesn't dry out. Easy to clean up, Moon Sand pleases parents by not sticking or staining. Kids love how the sand floats in water. Expanding to twice its size out of the package, one pound of Moon Sand is enough to create a generous-sized sand castle for your child.

Making Castles
The play set comes with four brightly colored, durable plastic molds for creating castle walls, spires, and even a drawbridge. The digging tool can also be used for making unique shapes. The lightweight Sand Castle Play Set all stores in the portable and inflatable sandbox. Velcro enclosures keep the sand safely contained. This set also includes a play mat. For bigger castles and different shapes, more Moon Sand and sets can be purchased separately.

What's in the Box
Inflatable sandbox, play mat, four molds, digging tool, and one pound of Moon Sand.

By using the included durable plastic molds, kids can create castle walls, spires, and even a drawbridge.

The moon sand can be squished, squashed, molded, and stacked more easily than real sand.

Product Description

Squish it. Shape it. Mold it. An innovative new phenomenon, Moon Sand molds like dough and never dries out. Once you pull it out of the package, it expands to twice its original size! Use it again and again for endless creative possibilities. It cleans up easily and won't stick or stain.

Set includes one pound of Moon Sand for building an amazing Moon Sand Castle. Includes inflatable sandbox (28.5"L x 15.5"W x 2.5"D), carry case, four molds, one tool and one play mat (16"L x 13"W).

3.0 out of 5 stars really fun toy - NOT ENOUGH SAND, October 22, 2006

I can summarize this review very quickly. This is a very cool product; well packaged and thought out but you don't get nearly enough sand. You can't make the castle pictured with the amount they give you (not even close). You can't even make enought to make a small castle enclosure wall. I'm hoping you can buy tubs of the sand separately.

1.0 out of 5 stars Huge Dissapointment, November 17, 2006

By 

kai's mom (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Spinmaster Moon Sand Castle Play Set (Toy)

My husband and I saw the commercials for the Moon Sand products and got very excited because our daughter loves to play in her sand box when the weather is warm. We thought it would be fun to play with it indoors when it's cold outside. What a mistake! We bought the farm set and the castle set and just threw them both in the garbage this morning. In all fairness, the consistency of the product is pretty cool but there's not much of it. It's kind of like a cross between sand and playdoh or clay. That's also part of the problem. It will stick together when you mold it but unlike playdoh it is very fragile and comes apart easily, getting scattered EVERYWHERE, sticking to EVERYTHING. It's in our carpet, on the kid's clothes, in my tile grout, and I'm sure some other places I've yet to discover. The included molds are nearly impossible for a child to use and the sand gets stuck in all of the nooks and crannies. I had to use an old toothbrush to get all of the sand out of them.

After using this product I have a new found appreciation for playdoh. It may get hard after awhile, but it is cheap, clean, and consistently reliable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Delta Sand worth the hunt, November 9, 2006

I have found "Delta Sand" a much better alternative. Can be purchased in kits from small to classroom size and just tubs alone. Stuff is incredible to play with and will keep them going for years. (used for play sand and heated for sculpture work).

Can be found in many creative learning catalogs well worth it.
