On those days, when we’re not out at Disneyland or splashing in our community pool, I try to offer my son diverse learning and play experiences. Apart from coloring, baking, and pretend play, my son really enjoys play dough. Conventional dough dries out when left out and can get stuck in carpets and such.
Thanks to Team Mom, we had an opportunity to check out Moon Dough, an innovative new molding compound that never dries out. Moon Dough comes in one of four playsets and is offered in eight colors. It’s also hypo-allergenic and wheat-free. The dough is soft and feather-light (like marshmallow) and can be molded with hands or the playset (we prefer the playset).
My son adored the Barnyard that he received to mold his dough into cows, pigs, sheep, and horses. The set came with three dough colors and 2 farm-themed molds (fence and hay bale). Once the dough is compressed into a ball, children put it into the barn silo and turn the crank. Out come adorable 3D animals.
There were a few things we found that worked really well to create the best looking animals. First, we made sure to compress the dough deep down into the silo (which acts as the mold for the animals). Then we turned the crank slowly so that the animals came out with their features well-defined.
While I like the fact that the dough doesn’t dry out or get stuck in carpet I don’t like the mess it creates. I find it to be quite crumbly and needed to vacuum after my son played. The sets that come with the Moon Dough will appeal to children and the prices are affordable and range from $9.99 to $19.99.
Moon Dough is available at Toys R Us, Target, Amazon, and retailers nationwide.
