    about half of them snapped! but I will break them up into little bits in a bowl for children visitors :)

    I think they'd last at least a month, they're the same ingredients as royal ice and that lasts forever :)

    I think when fully dry they'd hang, but I moved them after 2 days and my hose is quite damp so still not hard enough:o
