    • Indoor Sand Castles

      Mix a batch of this fun dough up on a yucky day and let the kids pretend they're at the beach. Let dry and you have a permanent sand castle.


      1 Cup sand
      1/2 cup cornstarch
      1 tsp. cream of tartar
      3/4 cup hot water
      Mix first 3 ingredients together in an old kettle. Add hot water and cook
      over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is very thick and hard to stir. Remove from heat and let cool slightly and then form into shapes. When dry, you can decorate with paint. Store any leftover dough in an airtight container.
