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 is not the same. I believe it is better. It is more flexible, less expensive, and uses natural jade (as compared to amethyst). Also, I have more confidence in the company behind it. The other product makes statements on its website which are either incorrect or misleading.The therasage pad is extremely healthy, both in terms of being proactive for your health and in addressing a variety of chronic health issues.

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.

I don't know. I bought the sand box from Brookstone and the sand from another retailer. However, the sand is advertised as never drying out (as is the sand I purchased). What I found though about my version of kinetic sand is that while the sand did not dry out per se, it does begin to harden over time (I've had mine 6 months). I do keep my sand in a covered container when not in use; I'd recommend some kind of covering. I just use a Tupperware container.

No, the sand causes friction that the spring cannot overcome and the trigger will remain open. A texture gun is made for heavier bodied (thicker) material. Use a paint spray gun for paint and waxes.

Yea dude its black. They are very very tiny sparkly, jet black sand grains. Dunno why they put moon in the tittle though.

It's been so long, I can't remember. I bought this for my granddaughter for a sand box. You might want to try it. It's very clean sand but don't quote me on this.

As the last person said, this is different from kinetic sand. My kids have both kinetic sand and Sands Alive. I prefer the kinetic sand to this product. Sands Alive is more doughy in consistency.

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.

These are both the same blender, they were simply listed separately for whatever reason. Check out our offer belowThanksHarvest Essentials ---------------------------------------------------------- ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼

No not really. I purchased the complete MELT Method because it was more convenient for me. They are the same size and made of the same material.

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.

Yes, you can wet sand with the Micro Mesh pads. I use them for polymer clay both wet and dry based on my project. For small projects I peel the mesh off the pad, cut into small circles and attach to an electric toothbrush with hot glue and Velcro circles (so that you can easily change between grits).

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.

Yes it is ... however be careful of which type you buy, there are a couple options such as coarse (which needs to be ground up into usable crystals) or finely ground. They're both the same product but one has already been ground and ready to use, the other one hasn't (some folks prefer grinding their own cuz they like to choose how coarse/fine they want the crystals).

Yes it is true this is more of a pinkish, super light tan color, but I have heard that sifted playsand/sandbox sand works just as great. Sandbox sand comes in white, and is non-toxic since it's for children. And that stuff is bright white! Just remember that if using sand for any reptile, it shouldn't be used as the only substrate, since most reptiles don't live on sand directly, but more of a flat clay mixture. I just used mine as a slight dusting on my tile for my bearded dragon so cleanup was easier. It's worked wonders!

Oh goodness do not mix. It gets sticky and sticks to everything but its self. I also tried mixing Kinetic sand with Cra-z-sand and it turned out to be a sticky mess. This product is a bit sticky and messy to begin with :/
