This is our first family beach trip that my DCs are old enough to actually build sandcastles, and they are very excited to watch me build them. I have lovely and quite possibly imaginary childhood memories of building fantastic creations with all kinds of levels, bridges, tunnels, moats, etc., but unfortunately, my efforts so far are not remotely living up to my memories. My castles are pathetic small lumps that don't even stick together. Even my 3-year-old is unimpressed. I'm no architect but is this really that hard?? I would be eternally grateful for any sandcastle-building tips. Any suggestions for how to improve? Or what "tools" to use, beyond a few plastic buckets and spades from poundland?
