But you don’t have to be the next Auguste Rodin (The Thinker) to be your kid’s sandcastle superhero sculptor. You can build cool sandcastles with just your hands and a little water!

Check out this video from Expert Village:

Expert Village has created a very thorough 15-video series on YouTube showcasing most everything one can think of about how to build a sandcastle.

Martha Stewart Living also created a great how-to for sandcastle building. One takeaway: sketch the outline of your castle first, and don’t forget the entrance!
