Moon Sand Construction Crane

The Moon Sand Construction Crane comes in an orange, plastic storage case.  Inside there is a backhoe with a wrecking ball, and a few molds that will allow your children to create their own construction zone with brick walls and tiles.  There are two packages of  Moon Sand inside (gray and white), and your child will love to build structures and then use the wrecking ball and backhoe to tear them down and start again! In terms of pretend play, this is such an interactive set. Moon Sand itself is a bit crumbly at first. I did leave it out for a few minutes, as the directions suggested, before squeezing it into a ball and this did help make the sand a little bit easier to mold. However, when you slightly touch your creation it crumbles very easily. It did leave a thin layer of a sandy, gritty texture on my hands that easily washed off. It may be helpful to put down a large plastic tablecloth underneath the playset for easier clean-up. A feature I found on the Moon Sand website, is that these cool sand creations can be baked and then painted with water based craft paint! Make sure to check out Moon Sand online for different playsets to such as a bake shop and additional accessories for the construction zone!  Moon Sand is recommended for children ages 3 and up.
