Toys and Games Reviews of Spinmaster Moon Sand Castle Play Set
Customer Review: I love Moon Sand!
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter (who loves creative activities) is 17 and is actually sitting down right now playing with the Moon Sand castle...it is a great family toy for all ages. My 8 y/o nephew loves the Moon Sand as well. So far we have had no problem getting it out of the molds. We have the Sundae Shoppe and the Princess Castle. The portable "sand box" is a nice feature because you can contain the activity and store it without it spilling all over the house. I would advise setting it up on a dining room table and not letting them play with it on the floor. This is a "toy" for all ages....after all, what adult doesn't like to build castles on the beach!?! My daughter is actually about to graduate from high school and go in the army but she took a course in Early Childhood Care and enjoyed many of the activities and toys the kids had so she got the Moon Sand kit for Christmas this year. I find it very therapeutic for my arthritic hands!Customer Review: Simply too messy, but the kids loved it
Summary: 1 Stars
As a parent, unless you like to be constantly using your mini-vacuum to clean up the mess this makes, you will not buy this again. This was bought for my young daughter. She loved to play with it, but kept losing sand every time to the vacuum cleaner when we had to clean up the mess. Sure we tried tossing what we could back in, but this toy was simply too frustrating to keep having to clean up after over and over again (especially five minutes after we had just cleaned it up). Playdoh isn't as messy as this. We limited our daughter to playing with it in the kitchen where our vinyl floor is. I would never allow the kids to play with this nor Playdoh on the carpet, as both are too messy. However, this one takes the cake as far as mess is concerned. Perhaps they should sell this with a mini-cordless vacuum instead of the mat - more ended up in that than in the play mat.Customer Review: Not as messy as I expected

I heard and read the reviews about this stuff being extremely messy I am not seeing the problem. I would gladly sweep up moon sand than peel play dough off the floor and furniture any day. We got the castle set. It was surprisingly easy for my son to make molds...literally all he had to do was fill the mold and tip it upside down. He did not have any problems falling down without being disturbed. He was able to pile molds ontop of each other. The little mess that we had was swept up from my hardwood floors using my shark cordless sweeper. I did not have any problems with the moon sand sticking to his hands...it wasnt until he went outside to the "real" sandbox that he came in and scattered little fragments all over the place. Thats the nice thing about moon sand...its very soft and clumps together so when a mess is made it makes for much easier cleanup.Customer Review: short lived messy fun

After reading many reviews on this item, I caved due to my curiosity, plus I am an easy marketing target. I thought about how cool it would be for my two little ones (2 & 5) to play with during the winter since they love the sandbox - WRONG! It holds their attention for only 5-10 min., then they don't like the feel of it stuck on their hands, along with the rest of them, as it gets EVERYWHERE (as I know some reviews warned me...). I think we've had to vacuum up almost 1/4 of it in just 2 times playing with it. We bought 2 extra cartons of sand and only put 1 extra in at first. The 2nd one will NOT be going it, as this will be disappearing once the sand has dwindled to useless amounts. NOT worth the money...I'd rather go cheap and buy playdoh or splurge and get more magnatiles. THOSE are worth their weight in gold - NOT this product.Customer Review: My kids LOVED this stuff!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great toy...not only did my children enjoy it, but I had fun molding the sand as well. They play with it for hours. I'm not sure why others say it's hard to get out of the molds...we packed the stuff in hard and it came right out with a few squeezes of the sides of the mold...with details much better than beach sand!!! As for the mess...this was not an issue for us...and my kids are both young and old. We played with it right in our dining room at the table and there was nothing to clean up but a little off the table. After playing, I simply washed out the molds with warm water and set them out to dry. The packaging is great too - you contain the sand and toys all in one easy carring case. Gotta love that!! I think this product is much better than others have reviewed it...check it out for yourself though.
