About this ebook

A step-by-step guide to building elaborate and impressive sandcastles with a basic understanding of sand and a few simple tools.

A crenellated turret here, a winding, arched staircase there, maybe even a giant turtle—fairy tale ideas are at the heart of every sandcastle. Summer after summer, children and adults alike make valiant efforts to infuse their sandy structures with such inspiration, but the results are generally disappointing. With Sandcastles Made Simple, Lucinda “sandy feet” Wierenga, a renowned sand sculptor, puts a permanent end to less-than-perfect beach creations. She provides the ultimate step-by-step guide to building impressive sandcastles, and shows that with a few simple tools and a basic understanding of sand, building dream castles can be easy.

The book features instructions for each of the architectural elements—base, staircase, roof, balcony, and more—that can be combined to fashion one-of-a-kind castles. Also included are two projects designed specifically for younger children. Like a shovel and pail, Sandcastles Made Simple is an on-the-beach necessity.

    Does what it says on the tin. You want to build sandcastles, but don't know the patented technique of jiggling a double-scoop of saturated sand to make a foundation pancake? You will fail: the sand will kick sand in your face. You need to own this book, or at least read the crucial couple of pages in the bookshop and then look at websites.
