Moon Dough..both of my kids love this stuff!

Age 3-5, Age 5-7, Toys, ,

Moon Dough is an out-of-this-world new molding dough that never dries out and is easy to clean up!  See my hint (*) below.

Hypo-allergenic and wheat-free, soft and marshmallow-like, Moon Dough does not stick to or stain material. Because Moon Dough never dries out, kids can use it again and again.  Just be sure to set up a mat for your kids to play on so you can wipe it all up and save it for next time.

Moon Dough is the latest and greatest new molding compound for kids ages 2-4 to sculpt into fun creations they will love to play with. The line also offers a variety of enjoyable play sets.

Molding the farm animals is a breeze for my 4 year old and my 11 year old finds it really funny to make his own shapes and ‘alien animals’ with Moon Dough.

What I love about Moon Dough:

  • Moon Dough is easy for kids to mold into shapes
  • Lots of colors & molds are available
  • It’s easy to clean up!  Just use a ball of Moon Dough to dab up other pieces.  You can even vacum Moon Dough up.

* Compress Moon Dough into a ball before giving it to your kids to play make it less flaky and more fun!

Local Science Center & Museum mixed up in racial discrimination news story

Atlanta Moms Edition, , ,

A damaging mistake was made in the local news here in Atlanta yesterday evening (9/2/2010).

Fernbank Museum was incorrectly identified as the target of racial discrimination lawsuit, when in fact the subject of the story was Fernbank Science Center.  Fernbank Museum has been receiving calls and e-mails regarding the confusion and are actively trying to clear things up as Fernbank Museum is not the facility involved.

This is an unfortunate situation and will hopefully get resolved soon.  According to local Atlanta news station WSB-TV, Fernbank Science Center is being accused of racial discrimination against children.

I have not had time to research the situation in detail so please refer to linked materials for more information.

You can read WSB TV’s news story about the issue here.

I’m well aware that parents are desperate to travel whenever possible.
Summer vacation, 3-day weekends, holidays.  You name, let’s leave the house and go somewhere fun!
We have to get away from the dirty laundry and dishes sometime right?

I also know that finding a family friendly hotel, lodge, or resort to stay at can be difficult without recommendations which is why I’m partnering with a few bloggers to provide our readers with real, honest, and detailed reviews of hotels, resorts, lodges, and other family friendly travel accommodations.

Sign up for our newsletter, Twitter and Facebook updates to be the first to know when we launch our new Travel Edition of The Mommy Insider.
