Every castle needs protective walls and ATV is going to show you how to sculpt super cool ones that will stand up to any tide. You'll need the basic sandcastle formation to get started.

plastic cups (bottomless)
flat-nosed shovel
spatula
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. Cut straight down to make walls as square as possible.
  2. Add small turrets, using small plastic cups without bottoms. Pour in water and sand and tap edges before removing cups.
  3. Carve out wall underneath using your shovel. Leave more room in the front of the castle.
  4. Spoon out holes on top of turrets and cut little 'V's' on top. Add windows on the sides of the large main walls.
  5. Use a spatula to draw a line around near top edge. Shave underneath and draw bricks.
  6. Create a doorway in the front. Draw edges and a frame around the door. Add bricks to the frame and for wall details.
