We came back from our trip to find a box with this Moon Dough play set waiting to be reviewed (sent to me by Team Mom). It was an instant hit! The barn was easy to set up, and we were all amazed at how easily the animals formed in their molds – they literally [...] I had plans for a fantastic Filth Wizardry rocket ship when this huge box showed up at our front door (housing my brother’s cello).
