Is living sand the same as moon sand?

I don't know, I haven't ever seen/used moon sand. We've had the living sand for about a month now and would NOT buy it again. It is fun, but it smells weird and small pieces "flake off" and are hard to find/clean up. Hope this helps.

No! I did not like moon sand. It was super messy. Living sand sticks together better and it's easier to clean up. My kids love it.

NO, it is not.. The sand is super cool but won't keep the shape the same way..

No it is not. It is much better. We love it!!! My only recommendation is to buy the bigger one so that you will have more sand to work with. I am going to get the biggest one for Christmas.

The sand is a slightly off white, non messy like regular sand, soft ,molds great with shapes given with larger set, best thing I ever bought grandkids. Good for bad summer days and winter play. Or whenever. I love to play with it. Shape are different colors.

The "sand" one we received is a goldenrod color; not light beige like like the main photo. You can see the color more accurately in the close-up photos.

I ordered and received the Veranda Elite, which had color options of Clay, Wrought Iron and Bark. I chose Clay. I'd call the color light sand, but it closely resembles the "Clay" shown on the Amazon web page.

Gosh I honestly don't know as I haven't had that happen. You may want to contact the company & see what they suggest. You can purchase new living sand (a bit pricey) from amazon or other stores that carry learning products.

Can it be? Yes. Should it be. No. The "alive" part is that is has a bacteria population. They are salt water bacteria. While some may be able to thrive I fresh water many will die off and cause you to have a much longer break in. I would buy sterile sand for fresh water or one of the "alive" products designed for fresh water. For a fresh water tanked I have had very good success with CaribSea Eco-Complete. There is even a Cichild specific version they make.

After having purchased both I am not sure if it is the exact same product. It is very similar in texture but the tube of blue sand I got at Brookstone seems to pack better and hold its shape a bit stronger. It's also priced more steeply there at $25 for 2lbs (so buying the equivalent weight of this Waba Fun box would be about $125). Considering the price difference I'm very happy with the Waba Fun purchase and it is still a very good and similar enough product.

No, it's not. My granddaughter said that they feel different; besides the living sand is pure white, and the kinetic sand comes in colors. I know that the living sand will not absorb water; she has played with it many times, and it is like new. She has played with the display kinetic sand at the store; but doesn't ask for it. I like this particular set, because it's a small table size "indoor sandbox." She just turned 10, and she enjoys it. I hope this answer helps.

Hello, Yes they are both made out of the same material. Thank you, Babyhaven

Yes! The original toy we purchased, which used the "green refills", is identical to the Moon Blaster.

I believe sand is from Canada. It's heavy enough to build sand castles and if you add water it helps. Best sand I've ever used. Very clean. I got the white.

Nope, the most remarkable property of kinetic sand is the "kinetic" part, that makes the sand to be in constant movement. When you build a figure with KS it will start falling apart in a few seconds (which is an interesting thing to see). With the Moon sand, whatever you build will stay the same. About texture, moon sand is a bit more "rubber-ish" than KS.

It's similar, but not the same. If you bake at all, Kinetic Sand is similar to sugar mixed with butter and/or egg; Living Sand is more like what you get once you mix in the flour. Living Sand is softer/fluffier, but it has a chemical smell and leaves a residue on your hands and whatever surface you use it on. I would recommend Kinetic Sand.

The sand I ordered is brown which was the Waba Fun Kinetic Sand - 11 lbs.. However since this originally went on sale, sand comes in a variety of colors.

nope moon sand is for playing with and around water. moon sand has been sprayed with something like scotch guard and baked. this gives it a hydrophobic coating. Moon sand hates water, and won't let it touch it. Kinetic sand is coated with something that makes it stick to itself for a little while then fall apart. it doesn't like to clump, and won't hold a shape. its mesmerizing to watch it fall apart, and it won't stick to other things either. so it cleans up easy.Moon sand hates water, and probably you as well. Kinetic sand doesn't hate anything, but is flaky and will probably break up with you for no reason at all. nope moon sand is for playing with and around water. moon sand has been sprayed with something like scotch guard and baked. this gives it a hydrophobic coating.

We never purchased kinetic sand. But Sands Alive will stay together when you make shapes. You can make many shapes and stack them without falling apart. it's really fun to play with.
