About a year ago, Team Mom sent me some of Spin Master’s Moon Dough to try out. We loved the texture and its ability to mold beautifully, but it was super crumbly (read the original review here).
Well, Spin Master listened to their reviews and changed their dough recipe! Then they offered us (once again via Team Mom) a go at the new Moon Dough!
I don’t know what they changed, but it is MUCH better! It still molds beautifully, and it’s still soft, but no more crumbs! My cousin and his wife and three (soon to be four!) kids came to stay with us over Labor Day. All six kids (aged six and under, what a party!) were so enthralled with this stuff that they were carrying it all over the house. No crumbs!
The new moon dough I would definitely give as a gift for a 3-6-year-old. It’s hypoallergenic, never dries out, and – now that it is less crumbly – it can be shaped by little hands as well as with the included (very fun and easy to use) molds!

Does it smell horrible like play dough? Which I seem to be allergic to now?
It doesn’t have much of a smell at all – none to most people, I think.
They’re so cute. What a good teamwork do they have!It looks like something one would really have to touch to understand.
I bet the ocean creatures were fun to play with! I’ve been really happy with how well the new Moon Dough keeps ER occupied. She wants to play with it all the time. Looks like it kept everyone busy at your home too.
It looks like something one would really have to touch to understand. I’ll have to try some out with JC when he gets a little older.
Yes, you definitely have to try it out, once he’s old enough to not try to eat it! They recommend age 3 and older =)
Fantastic!! And what a thorough test with six reviewers aged six and under. :) Love Emma’s dress.
Aren’t the hearts just perfect for her? =)
How very cool that they listened, changed it, and let you try it again! Looks like a very fun activity for kids!
It is a lot of fun! And so nice to work with a company that listens to consumers!
