CRAFT MATERIALS: 1 egg white Pinch of cream of tartar 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar Sugar cubes
Time needed: Under 1 Hour 1. Mix up a batch of "mortar." Just beat together one egg white and a pinch of cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Add 1 1/2 cups of confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, beating until well combined. (Since the egg in the sweet mortar is raw, be sure your kids don't eat it.)
2. Assemble the base of the pyramid. Using the mortar and a pastry brush, glue together ten rows of ten sugar cubes each.
3. Glue together the rows to form a square.
4. For the second layer, glue together nine rows of nine cubes each and then center and glue the layer on top of the base square.
5. Use this method to add seven more layers, each time decreasing the length of the rows by one cube.
6. Top the pyramid with a single cube.

To build a model pyramid out of plaster of Paris, coat the inside of an ice cube tray with petroleum jelly. Pour plaster of Paris inside and allow to dry. Once dry, place the blocks in a square pattern, gluing them together with plaster of Paris. Stack another row atop the bottom row, insetting each row to form a pyramid shape.
cross 2 sides then then do it again
It is a picture of a large dog, Newfoundland I think, seated with a young girl in Victorian dress, holding a silver sugar bowl in one hand, and resting a sugar cube on the dogs nose.
Amagine looking at a cube from an angle. Now to make that orthographic amagine looking at it straight. A cube would just be a square.
