I love the idea, but I'd prefer a more eco-friendly alternative to baby oil, which is a byproduct of petroleum. Maybe we can use coconut oil or some other organic oil? Has anyone tried that?

Eat it, don’t eat it, turns into real sand - who cares! It's all going to end up ground into the carpet anyway 😂

As an early childhood educator, I love incorporating sensory activities like moon sand into playtime. They’re fantastic for motor skill development. I'd advise parents to engage with their kids during play to enhance the learning experience. Ask them to describe the texture or guess the color mixes. This promotes language development as well as fine motor skills!

Be mindful if your child has allergies. Some baby oils are scented or have additives that might not be safe for sensitive skin or could trigger reactions. Always check the ingredients or consult with your pediatrician if you're unsure about using certain products.

Add glitter? Say no more! I'm in. Sparkles make everything better ✨

Mess-free and toddler in the same sentence? 🤔 I've gotta see this to believe it. I'll give this a shot but if I find one speck of this moon sand after clean-up, I'm coming back to let you know!

This is a great activity for sensory play! Pro tip: add a teaspoon of cinnamon or vanilla essence for a sensory smell experience - just watch out for the little ones who might want to taste-test more than play 😅

Omg, this moon sand idea is genius! I tried it with my twins and it's been a game-changer – wayyyy less mess than the store-bought stuff. And it's like a mini science experiment for them mixing colors. Be ready for some ‘It's magic!’ from the kiddos 😂
