Entry FeedChristmas 2007 - Moon Sand was hot. Son One asked everyone for it, and did end up with some of the stuff.
He opened it and played with it on the kitchen table. What a mess! It went away the next day.
Fast forward a year and half later, and I get myself in trouble because I actually hate to throw stuff out. Son Two and his play date find the moon sand and play with it in the kitchen. Daughter joins in the fun.
What the heck is this moon sand? How are kids supposed to play with it without it ending up everywhere in the house? What a mess!!! I had to get my vacuum out (not happy! the cleaning lady was just here yesterday) and vacuum the kitchen table, all of the chairs, and the kitchen floor.
Moon sand is sort of this funny texture - finer than sand, and it almost sticks together, but not quite. It also seems to glitter a little. Could be cool and fun, if it wasn't such a mess.
Tonight, when they fall asleep, it will end up in the garbage. They can play with puzzles next time.
