So while this looks like a fun project, I don’t think its much like “the real moon sand”. On their website, it says that if you get water in it, to let it “dry out” on a paper towel and that after drying, moisture will return to it.

Also above, someone said that when they returned to play with it, it was covered with mold! Thinking about this, it’s no wonder. They actually use a corn-starch like substance for petri dishes!

If you make the above, consider it disposable, throw away after a few days. It reminds me of the huge batches of “play dough” my mom made me as a kid. Fun in bulk, but didn’t last long.

Anyone have any idea on how they really make it?
