They're clearly fossilised camels.
So? It looks like a closeup of my shower curtain.
There was some kind of 'game' or 'hobby' thing when I was a kid. I'm remembering it as some kind of wet sand that you dribbled to make things that look a lot like those TufaTowers, but for the life of me I can't remember and google isn't helping.
Does anyone remember?
Was it this?
I used to do it with regular wet sand at the beach, to make forests around my sand castles.
No, I mean it might have been scientifically similar but it came in a box...like a toy or board game or something...

I remember! It was Wham-o Magic sand! It came in a little plastic bottle with a Genie on it! Great fun!
Yeah, it must have been that. I'm still not finding pictures that ring a bell vis a vis the box or anything...but it worked that way. I remember making things in those little goldfish bowls like you used to get at the fair if you threw a ping pong ball at the fish.
I also had one of these. I took it to school and Sister French Fry was all like "what do you MEAN the sand never mixes up? It looks all mixed up to me!" Yeah, well, you're a crotchedy old bat who told me my dead mangled cat most certainly would NOT go to heaven...and the sand unmixes itself...you mean old fart. ;)
Go to this link that will trigger the memories - you can go nuts! Awwh!

I saw that picture but it didn't seem familiar. I could be just not remembering it or it could be that, as usual, we got the knock-off wannabe toys.
Like everyone else had an easy bake oven, I had like "Suzy Homemaker" oven or something. :lol:
Oh, here it is...see, it didn't even have the conveyer belt.
