Toys and Games Reviews of Spinmaster Moon Sand Castle Play Set
Customer Review: Messy, expensive - just stick with playdough
Summary: 1 Stars
My 6 yr old son saw the commercials and has been wanting this for months. Finally got it for Christmas and what a disappointment! The sand is fun to play with but there isn't enough of it and it makes a huge mess everywhere. No big deal with cheap, inexpensive playdough but with this, I was on my hands and knees trying to scrape up every last bit to save. I like that you can leave it out w/o it drying but what's the use? Just send them to the backyard sandbox. For inside, stick with playdough. It's wayyyyyy cheaper and honestly, more fun.Customer Review: Neat Idea - Too messy to be worth it.
Summary: 2 Stars
The sand itself is a neat idea. Kind of like playing with damp sand. My kids loved it for a while but I think they were really more into the idea of playing with sand inside. Like others mentioned, it's hard to get the sand out of the molds, impossible for a 4 year old. For me, the time my kids spent playing with it wasn't worth the mess they made. I put paper down on the wood kitchen floor and let them play. After they were done and I trashed the paper I still had to vaccum the floor and change their clothes. Not worth it in my opinion.Customer Review: Tips for playing with Moon Sand
Summary: 4 Stars
1. Play with it on a hard surface table over a hard floor. This stuff is messy and I would avoid using it around carpet. I sweep the sand that gets out of the box in a pile and blot it up with a larger clump of sand. It sticks to itself pretty good.
2. You really got to hit the molds very hard for the sand to come out of them. Just tapping them with your hands doesn't work. We use the handle of a screwdriver or a small hammer hitting the mold repeatedly until the sand pops out. This is the only way the sand comes free from tiny spaces.
Customer Review: What a disappointment!
Summary: 1 Stars
After seeing the commercials, my kids (ages 6,4,3) HAD to have moon sand. Despite the high price, I gave in thinking it would be similar to Play-doh which they play with for hours at a time. Instead they were bored within 10 minutes, and I had hours worth of clean-up! It is just sandy enough to get everywhere, yet sticky enough to want to stay in every little crack and crevice. It was impossible to remove it from any of the molds that it came with, unless it was dug out. Save yourself the time, money and frustration and avoid Moon Sand!Customer Review: My 2,5 year old LOVES IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, my daughter LOVES IT! So what if my husband hates it, because he has to vacuum it off the carpet? As long and she's happy and wanting to play non stop with it, I am happy. She builds the castles, then she knocks them down, she builds them again, builds "the city", the bridge, then she takes her Little people guys and pretends playing with them in "the city", covering them with sand or making them walk on the bridge and stand on the top of the castle.
The sand that this set comes with is not as sticky as the colored ones.
