Toys and Games Reviews of Spinmaster Moon Sand Castle Play Set
Customer Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading all of these reviews I guess I am the only one who loves this product. My son will be 3 in February and after receiving the Adventure Island this Christmas has played with it every day. He and I both love the texture of the sand and also the ease in cleaning. He plays with the sand on the kitchen table and after he is finished I take a small hand broom and sweep it up. I don't let him track it over carpeted areas. He can literally play with the Moon Sand for over an hour! Although he can not mold the sand into the molds he does dig and make hills and he has a blast. I sit with him and mold the animals so he can squish it. I would recommend this product and have to several friends.Customer Review: Not exactly what it says it is
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this for each of my 3 children ages 5, 8 & 10. I do not recommend it for any child over 8 years of age. The 10 year was so bored with it he poured all of the mixture in his youngest sibling's tray. They tried to build with it but ended up just squishing it. It seems fun to run your hands through and try to pack it, but it won't pack enough to build a castle like what is shown on the packaging. The mixture gets stuck inside the molds and when you try to get it out to make a castle it crumbles. The 5 year old wants to take the molds and blow up tray to the beach and play with them in the real sand. Come to think of it, real sand and water would work a lot better than this product.Customer Review: Moon Sand Concerns
Summary: 2 Stars
I do believe Moon Sand lives up to it's claims of being an indoor sand alternative, but I also think it is my five year's first experience of being dissapointed by what he thought he was going to get as based on the TV ads. The amount of sand is deceiving, the molds are small and flimsy. My son has enjoyed playing with it a few times, but I've noticed after I've played with it to get the sand soft and moldable that my face becomes itchy. Reading the documentation about getting it into your eyes and the warning to wash your hands after playing with it gives me a few concerns. I wouldn't want a kid under five to play with it. I'm always warning my son not to touch his face.Customer Review: Great creative play
Summary: 5 Stars
My twin daughters (age 5) received this, and two other Moonsand sets, as Christmas gifts. They opened them ASAP and began to let their imaginations run wild. My older two boys (ages 8 and 10) even joined in on the fun.
They sit on the kitchen floor to play. Does it make a mess? On occassion but they scoop it right back up. This is sand after all and like any craft/creative product, I do expect some sort of mess. Cleanup is a breeze though.
My only complaint is the storage of the colored sand. The kids have been careful to keep it as separate as possible but it would be nice to be able to store it all in the inflatable case!
Customer Review: Moon Sand
Summary: 3 Stars
The commercials were eye catching. I ordered it online with Amazon only to find out the price was significantly lower at Target.
The play area is very small and only a very talented adult can come close to making the castles that are shown in the pictures. The sand sticks in the molds and doesn't come out without breaking. On a positive note the sand does stay mostly in the play area and folds nicely.
I purchased more colors at target but it cannot be used because there is nowhere to put the white sand while using other colors. Or they will mix together.
Overall, I am disppointed and would not recommend this product.
