Practice now with these sandcastle building tips:
- Build sandcastles near water, but not too close as the tides rise your castle can be destroyed.
- Fill your buckets with water to saturate the sand. Wet sand sticks together and allows you to form castle structures. Work fast and keep the sand from drying out.
- Construct towers by stacking sand patties about the size and shape of thick pancakes, or make a big pile of sand and carve into it.
- Seal your towers by gently spraying with a spray bottle filled with water.
