The Martian Matter Alien Maker Spaceship is made by Hasbro. This play set is rated for ages five and up and comes with three two ounce bottles of gooey Lunar Lava gel in different colors- red, orange and green; three two ounce cans of re-usable Meteor Mud clay compound in different colors- blue, orange and green; fourteen out of the ordinary mix n’ match alien half molds, a plastic knife, a plastic roller, a pair of plastic tweezers, a plastic cutter and a super cool alien spaceship.

We performed the Martian Matter Alien Maker Spaceship reviews with several children ages five through ten years old. The way this toy is used is as follows: The child or children pick out two of the molds, and then they decide what color or colors of the reusable Meteor Mud compound to press into the mold. They then use the plastic knife to trim off any excess material and use the plastic tweezers to remove the alien from the mold. After that they can use any or all of the three different colors of the Lunar Lava gel to decorate their new alien creation. With the fourteen different half molds, three colors of the reusable Meteor Mud compound and the three different colors of the Lunar Lava gel the number of different aliens kids can make is almost endless. When the children have finished constructing their own new alien creatures the Martian Matter Alien Maker Spaceship has three clear plastic globes on top so they can set their favorite ones aside. The alien creations they do not want to save can be recycled and made into different creatures. The children really seemed to enjoy flattening their aliens with the plastic roller or slicing them into small pieces with the included plastic knife. Overall we would say that the Martian Matter Alien Maker Spaceship is a great toy. Not only does this entertaining toy help develop children’s imagination and creativity; it is also a perfect toy for hours of fun on a rainy day. The children who participated in these reviews completely lost track of time and did not want to stop playing with the Martian Matter Alien Maker Spaceship even when their hour and a half was up.

The Martian Matter Alien Maker review we conducted with the five year olds taught us quickly that, although this toy is rated five years and up, the younger children have a hard time getting their new alien creations out of the molds without messing them up or tearing a limb off. But with a little parental help they will have just as much fun as their older counterparts creating their own unique alien race. The reusable Meteor Mud compound is a non-toxic wheat based concoction with a warning on the box that it is not a food item. The box also warns that the Lunar Lava gel will stain some surfaces and that there are numerous small parts that are choking hazards so close parental supervision of the smaller children is a definite must.
