A little off the fashion topic, more of a mom topic. Our daily fun activity this evening was playing with moon sand. Yes, I said Moon Sand. I don’t know why I’ve bought into the idea that there might be something better than play dough, but I’ve now tried both FLOAM and Moon Sand.

We got as far as taking the top off of the Floam, I’m not quite sure what that stuff is, but way too sticky for my kids, and way, way too sticky for me. I don’t get the mold it shape it part, it didn’t keep it’s shape at all. And the moon sand was basically sand. Yes, it sticks together, but it doesn’t stay together and I swear that both my kids looked like we just got back from the rainbow beach when they were done. Plus, I had to vacuum; NOT my idea of an evening fun activity. You can’t even pick it back up like play dough, it doesn’t exactly stick to itself…annoying.

The kids, of course, luv-luv-loved our hands-on activity, but it’s going to be awhile before we see that stuff again. My mom used to always make our play dough for us, and I think that was perfectly fine, right? Here’s a link to some home made play dough recipes…if anyone has tried these or has other play dough recipes to share, please add a comment!!! I’d also like to know if I did something wrong with the moon sand..and the floam for that matter…so if you’ve tried either of those modern wonders, please share…
