SUGAR CUBE CASTLES: The children sat at a table and were each given a disposable tray and were given instructions on how to make a castle out of sugar cubes.....I had a model of one I had made the night before...so they could see the finished product...The trick is to spread the icing down first and the lay the first layer of sugar cubes....and then for each remaining layer to dip the cubes in the icing when placing them down...and then the last row were the gumdrops. I had extra icing tubs down on the table and food coloring for the kids to decide the filling color that they wanted for the layers. THey had a great time with this and it was very age appropriate for 4-6year olds. When the castles were completed we admired everyones unique design/color. I also had princess snacks if they wanted to decorate their castles with them. This was an awesome activity....it did take up a bit of time because the kids really put a lot of effort into it.
