A few weeks ago, Twin B. found this book at the library, and we’ve been having a blast trying out different mediums for building. Jello cubes in ice cube trays (made with extra gelatin), looks like fun.
Sugar cube pyramids are another. We went to Jewel and found sugar cubes on clearance for a dollar a box, and stocked up. We now have one thousand sugar cubes—or at least we did before starting our construction projects.
The book recommends making a mortar out of equal parts flour, corn starch and water. I just mix it up into it looks nice and thick. Then, you build.
It’s that simple.
And the kids love it!
Cool building projects on a rainy day works for me. Check out more great ideas at We are that Family.

I've said it once, I'll say it again: Next to my wife, you are the coolest mother on the planet!

It's so important to realize that every time you get upset, it drains your emotional energy.
