I HATE moonsand!

[luvmyfam444]

I don't have a clue what Santa was thinking!

I feel for you--we use moonsand at work and it's not fun to clean up--it's right up there with glitter-lol.

moon sand, glitter, play dough. All dirty words at our house.

lids conveniently came off the playdoh and it would get all dried out i don't know who kept doing that

Moonsand is nasty stuff. We have some in my preschool class and we rarely use it. It sticks to the carpet and gets ground in very easily and it's hard to brush off kids clothes. It's really a shame that it's so hard to clean up because the kids love playing with it. On the rare occasions that we do take it out, we put it on plastic trays and move the tables off the carpet to the tile floor. Then we run and borrow the custodian's vacuum cleaner right away.

We love Moonsand around here. It is definitely an outdoor toy though. It never comes into the house and is kept in the garage next to the sidewalk chalk, bubbles, etc.

I don't have a clue what Santa was thinking!

Totally agree

My niece got moonsand for her birthday and it was put away until warmer weather. Totally an outdoor activity. I know people that have let their kids play with it inside and it gets into any little space in the floor, table, etc. and it actually gets moldy. Not nice.

Totally agree! In my case....I also don't know what santa was thinking when he brought Hamsters - double yuck!

 

[treehugnmama]

I don't find it bad at all. A lot easier to clean up than a lot of other messy things we do....it justs vaccuums up. I am an ece though so I do lots of play dough, painting all those messy things.

We were staying at a rented cabins once and a relative brought some for the kids to play with UGH!!!!

After spending a week trying to sweep it out of the carpet (there was no vacuum cleaner!) I swore the only people I would ever by it for were people I really didn't like.

My kids now see it in the store and still go - oooh. That is bad stuff.

I LOL'd when I read the thread title!

Maybe I should give it to DD to play with outside.

It has been put away for some time.

Theres a secret to clean moonsand play: cake pans! If you let your child play in a cake pan and tell them if it comes out it goes bye bye it seems to work. Thats how we use it at work.

I remember moon sand. It was an outdoor only activity at our house. I don't know what I was thinking when I let that into my house.

 

[luvmy3]

We use it in our outdoor water/sand table, never inside.........anymore

Note to self: Give moonsand to the nephews for their birthday

 

[Goofyzgurl]

I had to put it on her play table and move the play table on the tile floors. It's so much easier to clean up that way.

 

[Liberty Belle]

Aww. We love it! My son is only allowed to play with it on a tray in the kitchen, though.

 

[skw444]

We love it too! It keeps my kids occupied and happy and I don't think it's too bad to clean up.

Let me guess: Pay back?

My DH asked the same question what was Santa thinking? Even my son who wanted it so bad put it away after 5 minutes. Should have bought some more cheaper Play-doh!
