Summer Sand Craft

How to Build a Sand Castle at Home

We found an easy sand craft that lets you bring the fun of the beach into your own backyard (without all the "sandy" mess)! If your kids love to build in the sand, then this summer craft idea is for you.



















Stir up our special recipe to provide your kids with the "sand" they'll need to shape their own keepsake sand sculptures. Invite the whole family to "dig in" and make your own sand castle city. If you run out of time...don't worry. Store your sand in an airtight container and continue another day.

Have some fun with this easy craft idea. It all starts in your kitchen...
