Magic Sand for Sand Castles

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of fine sand
• ½ cup of cornstarch
• ¾ cup of liquid starch for clothing (Glide, etc.)
• Old pot
• Old mixing bowl (sand scratches!)

Steps:

1. Combine sand and cornstarch in the bowl.
2. Add liquid starch and mix.
3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. The mixture will resemble a paste after 3-5 minutes.
4. Cool.
5. Knead the dough for a few minutes before using.
6. Allow children to mould their sand castle (or other shape).Allow to dry. It will become hard as rock!

**Moulds used in sandboxes help create different models.
