The one thing that was (slightly) disappointing to Carolyn about the beach we visited the other day was that there were no shells to collect.\u00a0 So, I bought a bag at the craft store.\u00a0 And I found this great recipe for sand dough<\/a>.\u00a0 Luckily, we have a sandbox full of nice sand waiting to be used in the kitchen.\u00a0 Or something.<\/p>\n

We tried using the seahorse molds, but they wouldn’t release, so we had to clean them out and try again, spraying them with vegetable oil spray first.\u00a0 I have my doubts as to whether these will hold together when dry, but both girls wanted to keep them, so we’ll see!<\/p>\n

Then they went to town with the shells.\u00a0 Carolyn wanted to make a seashell windchime, but none of the shells had convenient holes and I didn’t quite know how to make holes in them without breaking them.\u00a0 So we settled for making sand dough\/sea shell decorative nick-knacks.<\/p>\n

And that concludes our beach week!\u00a0 And not a moment too soon…I’m getting tired of cleaning sand off of the kitchen table from all these projects!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
