Disclaimer: Apparently some people are very disappointed with moon sand. I don't have a tv and have never seen a commercial for it; perhaps the advertising is misleading. Having no expectations, my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this product.
Moon sand feels like sand, and acts similarly to slightly wet sand, though it is completely dry. This is a fun, hands-on product, but it IS messy. "Cement City" comes with molds for two types of bricks, a little construction worker (who, you can't quite tell from the pictures, but is flat in the back), a toy cement truck, and a smoothing trowel.
Pros:
-- Moon sand lends itself well to creativity. In addition to building small walls, we have had fun using other molds (cookie cutters, etc) to make additional shapes.
-- The plastic "case" this comes in makes this quite portable.
-- The trowel is a neat little tool for kids to learn to pay with.
Neutral:
-- The sand needs to be packed in pretty well for the bricks and models not to crumble, but it's completely doable, even for a preschooler.
-- As with play-doh, you can't keep the finished product, but you can use it again and again and again.
Cons:
-- You will get sand all over the place, so be sure to work in an area that is easy to sweep or vacuum.
-- It is difficult to get the truck to "crush" the bricks.
-- Once the colors are mixed, there is no way to unmix them.Get more detail about Moon Sand Cement City with Case.
