Sandcastles 101

Landon's tutorial on how to make a Great Wall of China on the beach in Seaside.


A close up of the Great Wall of China.


First you find the wet sand.


Then you get the wet sand in your dump truck and dump it in your castle builder.


And then you pat it down.


Then you go get some more and do the same thing till it's all full.


And then you put down in a flat area and pound on it till it comes out.


And always check that it comes out. If it starts to break a little bit halfway, put the castle builder back on, pat it in the middle and the side until it comes out again. And then it will turn out fine.


The Great Wall of China is almost done. You can move the castle if it got put in the wrong spot. You put the builder back on and then you slide it.
