Moon Sand

This week’s theme is “Out of this World!”  I had found some moon sand on clearance at Target, and thought it sounded like fun (and would be perfect for this theme) so I picked up a two-pack.

Is the moon really made of magenta and orange sand?

The verdict?

It's nice that there are molds built right into the lids...
We used paper plates to try to contain the mess.
Well, filling the molds was fun, anyway.
If you look at the shapes too hard they fall apart.

Not nearly so much fun as playdough.  The girls were pretty “meh” about this (though they were excited at the idea and the packaging) so after a little bit of trying to figure out what on earth we could do with our moon sand – it didn’t stay molded long enough to really build anything out of it – we gave up and went to the playground instead!  Now we know why it was on clearance…
