How do you build a sandcastle?

First you get what ever sized bucket you like, fill it with damp sand, this is important as if it is too dry or too wet it won't work properly. Then you place it on flat surface, bang the bottom of the bucket slightly, then carefully remove the bucket upwards, being carefully not to bump the sandcastle as it could fall over or damage it. Then repeat as many times as you wish in any pattern you feel like. Rocks or flags could be used for decoration, just let you imagination go wild!!!

How wet should the sand be to make a sand caslte?

Fairly soaked, because the water makes the sand stick together and makes it easier to shape into your desired form.

Wet sand will not stick as well.
