\"\"<\/a>That is my question of the day.\u00a0 I looked online to answer this question, and couldn’t find the exact answer, other than it was made in Sweden and packaged in China.\u00a0 I’m thinking the person who invented moon sand was first off, a guy<\/strong>, and second, did not have kids<\/strong>.\u00a0 Because if they did have kids they would never<\/strong> think of developing such a toy!\u00a0 And if they still did, their wife would probably leave them!\u00a0 This is a set my son got for Christmas\u00a0from a relative.\u00a0 It is supposed to be good because you can keep all your moon sand, and play with it in the case.\u00a0 There are a few problems to this, if you don’t keep the plastic bags, (which are not resealable) all your sand gets mixed together.\u00a0 Plus moon sand NEVER <\/em><\/strong>stays in the tray.\u00a0 It gets everywhere!\u00a0 It’s messy, and I hate it!\u00a0 My boys on the other hand love it!\u00a0 They also choose to play with it right after I’ve finished vacuuming.\u00a0 WTH!\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>Here is a picture of them playing with it.\u00a0 As you can see, there is moon sand on the table around the container.\u00a0 Here are the reasons why I hate moon sand, and if you haven’t already bought your kids some…..DON’T!
\n1<\/strong>.\u00a0 Moon Sand goes everywhere!\u00a0 And if you have tile or wood floors they will become extremely slippery!
\n2<\/strong>.\u00a0 It attaches to everything.\u00a0 The dog, your socks, your cat, your shoes!\u00a0
\n3<\/strong>. Sand is meant to be played with outside, not inside.
\n4<\/strong>.\u00a0It states that it is Non-Toxic, but it should not<\/strong> be eaten or swallowed.\u00a0 I don’t know why you would eat it, but there are paste eaters out there.
\n5<\/strong>. In the instructions in big letters it says “DO NOT <\/strong>allow soap or liquid soap to come into contact with the moon sand.”\u00a0 This makes me want to do it, just to see what would<\/em> happen.
\n6<\/strong>. It also says “Wash hands after use<\/strong>“, ummm, doesn’t that contradict the whole #5<\/strong> of no soap coming in contact?\u00a0
\n7<\/strong>. 10 minutes of play, 10 years of finding blue, green, and yellow sand everywhere.
\n8<\/strong>. There’s 10% less sand to play with after each use (this is both a good thing and a bad thing)!\u00a0 It’s where the 10% went that is the bad thing!
\n9<\/strong>. Sand fights (remember I have 2 boys ages 8 + 10)
\n10<\/strong>. Someone always rubs their eyes when they are playing with it.\u00a0 Emergency eye wash anyone??<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
