Another item to throw on the list of things I need to do with my kids – Build a sandcastle. Of course, I think this might have been handier when we were living in Myrtle Beach, but since I couldn’t find a good job there, that didn’t last long.
Why spend money on clay when you can use beach sand for free? Indulge your artistic side and create medieval fantasies by building your very own sand castle.
- Draw a rough sketch of the castle you’d like to build.
- Choose a square site near the water, but not so close that waves will destroy your castle as the tide comes up. Make sure the square is large enough for your castle plans.
- Dig a hole down to the water table, where the sand is dark and moist, or bring up large buckets of water from the ocean or lake.
And the list goes on. After the ehow guide is a section with tips from ehow readers.
