I'm hoping to begin a project with my class of 13 year olds soon. They've been looking at Egyptian Art, so I was hoping to build a pyramid with them out of sugar cubes with an entrance causeway.
It's a simple enough project, except I'm currently working in Thailand. Can't leave sugar alone, even in a sealed, air-conditioned room for 10 minutes without it getting overrun by ants .etc here.
I've checked all the How-To articles on the web, but not a single one seems to take this into consideration.
I'm considering a spray-on varnish, but have no idea what the side-effects of this might be. I'd hate to come in the next day only to find a sugary, varnished puddle on the floor.
Has anyone overcome this problem before or know a viable option?
