Build your very own house…out of sand! Just grab your beach bucket and shovel and get ready to have some fun in the sun!

two 5 gallon buckets (one bottomless)
shovel
2 different spatulas
knife
spoon
water
sand

REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE PROJECTS ALONE.

  1. Pour sand into your bottomless bucket. Fill it halfway with sand while slowly adding water, and pack it down. Use a spatula to tap around the edges of the bucket before sliding the bucket off.
  2. Make a square shape on top and cut sides with your spatula. Make a line going down the center of the roof and cut diagonally to create an angled roof.
  3. Cut out a chimney using a knife, and carve out windows and a door with your spoon.
  4. Finally, mix water and sand in bucket and use your hand to create 'drip trees' around the house.
