do you like making sand castles? / myLot

sand castle - A sandcastle is a type of sand sculpture resembling a miniature building, often a castle. The two basic building ingredients, sand and water, are available in abundance on a sandy beach, so most sand play takes place there, or in a sandpit.

A variant on the sandcastle is the drip castle, made by mixing the sand with water and dripping it from a fist held above. Some refer to the technique as "dribbling." When the slurry of sand and water lands on existing sand structures, the effect is Gaudi-esque.

Sand castles are typically made by children, simply for the fun of it, but there are also sand sculpture contests for adults that involve large, complex constructions.

when i was young, i love making sand castles on the beach with my family and friends. now that i've grown up, i still do it for fun. my cousin and her classmates made a sand sculpture and it was really amazing. they made a woman lying on the sand and there was a man on top of her. hahaha! it was really funny and also a state of the art. =)

When I was a kid I loved going to the beach and making sand castles! I can't wait to do that with my daughter soon. She is 14 months now, so might not be until next year but I'm really looking forward to it!

HellO! I like making sand castles, me and my cousins used to do it. Unfortunately I suck in it! LOL! I dunno but my sand castle just doesn't seem to look nice at all compared to others. So i'll end up making sand mountains instead of sand castles! LOL! much easier...but it's great fun..thanks. ciao! txel
