Idea:
Give each child three kitchen towel rolls and help them to paint them pink. They
will then need three small cone cups (the kind used for at water machines).
Paint these pale blue and sprinkle them with glitter. Glue these to the top of
the painted rolls, then glue blue square or rectangle shapes on the towers for
windows. More glitter can be sprinkled over the whole thing, then fix the three
towers to a cardboard square covered with tin foil. We cut slits around the end
of each roll, then bent back each section and just taped them to the base. The
children have made Cinderella's castle. It took us a couple of days but looked
brilliant!

Idea:
Here is a great recipie for making permanent sand castles.
1 cup sand
1/2 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup liquid starch
mix sand and cornstarch in an old pot.
mix in liquid starch
cook over med. heat while constantly stirring, until mixture thickens and turns
into dough remove pot from heat and let cool remove clay from pot and knead for
20-30 seconds before using.
sculptures will harden after drying. you can add 1 tbs of powered tempera paint
to add color. have fun!!

I cut "sand" castles out of heavy paper and the children painted
glue on with Q-tips. We sprinkled on colored sand, one color at a time and made
wonderful sand castles
