MADE FROM SCRATCH:
Castles to Keep Recipe
On those snowed in days, don't you wish you could just just lay out on the beach?
I think that I know how to make your wish come true a smidgeon.
Take 6 cups of sand from your secret hiding place where the cat can not find it.
On the stove mix 1 cup of water to 1/2 cup of flour in a sauce pan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. (2 minutes)
Add this mixture to the sand into a clean bucket. Stir it good.
Pretend you are at the beach. Wear swim suits, lay out a beach towel.
Play some beach type music. (Pesonally I would play the Beach Boys.)
Get out your empty and clean yogurt cups, margaine tubs, toilet paper tubes, etc. to mold the sand.
Pack the sand mixture tightly in differnt sizes. You can build your sand castle on a cookie sheet or a foil
covered piece of plywood. Let is dry for a good 24 hours.
Add plastic people and flags to make the castle to keep even more fun.
