Whether you want to create your perfect ice cream dessert, mix up your favourite fruit smoothie or create and bake* cakes and cookies, Moon Sand™ has it all for creative kids this autumn.

I have something to say first about Moon Sand, I want to be a child again maybe 7/8... yes 7 years old when I was 9 I got my hair pulled for weeks by a nasty little oik called Billy, anyway I digress.
When I was seven years old I had two choices for baking sessions, one was good but rare and that was baking with my Granny, the other was not so good but pretend baking... all we had though was  plasticine, now firstly it stinks, secondly the colours were boring primary colours but no  pinks, purples, white and pastels.
Thirdly it went rock hard if you wanted to display your latest creation, then snapped so mainly you had to demolish the work of art.


If I was seven now I would have a Moon Sand Bake Shop, we were sent one to review and if you have daughters they will be in modelling heaven.
Its really very pretty, pinks, whites lots of purple, what is it about the colour purple that so many little girls love?
It has moulds that are egg shaped, butter shaped etc, you have to pack the Moon Sand in pretty tightly to get the shape its our tip for getting the perfect moulds.
Then you pop your ingredients into the mixer, which is ultra cool as it works.

Your mixture whizzes around and then you can start to make cupcakes, gateau and cookies.  I found it easy to sweep up after the play session too, it does not stain hands or chairs either, less messy than plasticine as well.
The best bit of all is they can be baked to last forever, so if its a masterpiece, it can also be a keepsake too. Bear in mind more Moon Sand will have to be purchased if your little one keeps all their creations and you bake them.
This is the perfect set for creative hands and whats nice are the boys versions too, cool construction sets.
Oh and whats more unlike plasticine it doesn't stink!!!
