Moon Dough and Moon Sand - Fab new sets for spring


You may remember me reviewing Moon Dough here  and Moon Sand here before Christmas, lots of you entered the £100 Toy bundle competition to win amongst others toys some of these fab sets.

I was so impressed with both sets, the ease of play, how much time they got picked up and replayed and mostly the boring Mum bit how little mess despite the words "sand" and "dough"
They were given as Christmas presents  to a couple of my friends and family's little ones.
It was the present that was opened and little ones faces light up and you see the Mum spot the titles and start to worry it will be messy.

I love saying it isn't, even better I got a call after Christmas to say my little cousin loved playing with the set making puppies over and over.

They also both won awards in the  ToyTalk Awards 2010

So for Spring Spin Master have brought out some new sets, have to say this one has the Ahhhh factor!!

The adorable Moon Dough Bunnies RRP £9.99 – A great alternative to an Easter Egg! Moon Dough Bunnies. Like the puppies before  you magically mould adorable bunnies. Then make them carrots, cabbages & turnips for their lunch!

Also, once thing which may be worth adding is that when you first open the dough it needs man-handling for a little while to make it more pliable and help it expand – then its not as crumbly afterwards – a bit like kneading bread. Its exactly as the Moon Dough Puppies were and so much fun to see the bunnies appear.

Includes bunny tree, 3 food moulds, and 2 colours of Moon Dough. Contents vary. For ages 3 years and over.

For a wider variety of cute animals there is also the  Moon Dough™ Magic Zoo RRP £22.99


Moon Dough Magic Zoo. Magically create zoo animals that come to life and really walk! Contains 3 cute animal moulds. You can also mould fences to keep your animals safely inside the zoo! Includes magic zoo, penguin, gorilla & bear moulds, 2 winder walkers, sticker sheet, magic cage and 3 colours of Moon Dough.

Contents vary.

For ages 3 years and over.




Now onto the Moon Sand

If you remember or have bought the sets last year its easy to shape and mould, the sand doesn't dry out and doesn’t stick or stain, making cleaning up a breeze and still in packaging which  offers closeable, stackable storage and also moulded sand trays in the larger playsets. The new Destruction kit is the one that will be causing the best fun, create and destroy is what my son loved in any game and my daughter too.
If you do have a little one who likes to keep their masterpieces, they can be baked. Again a simple  case of putting on a flat baking sheet in a preheated oven 250F and baking for an hour, then leave to cool.

Moon Sand Destruction SRP £14.99

Moon Sand Destruction. Build it up and blast it down again and again! The new Real Working Implosion set provides great building and explosive destruction action!
