Directions

• In a saucepan, combine flour and sugar. Gradually add cold water; mix
• well. Cook and stir over low heat until mixture thickens to pudding
• consistency.
• Place sand in a large pail; stir in flour mixture. When cool to the
• touch, mix together with your hands, adding more water if needed so
• that sand holds its shape. Firmly pack into molds. Invert on a flat
• surface; remove molds.
• Let dry completely before handling. Depending on the humidity, this
• may take a few days.
• To create a centerpiece, weave rope between the sand castles; fill in
• with sand, rocks and seashells.
• Editor's Note: The sand mixture will keep for weeks when stored in an
• airtight container. Yield: 1.
