Sandcastle on the Beach

Built proudly on the sand, this sandcastle has everything a beach builder dreams of. Two round towers rise on either side of an arched gate, a little flag waves from the top, a small moat circles the base, and a bucket, spade, and a few scattered seashells rest nearby. The big castle shapes are easy for younger children to fill, while the gate, flag, moat, and shells give plenty of smaller targets for kids who like more to do. Sandcastles are made by packing wet sand into buckets and shapes, then carefully lifting them off — a bit of beach engineering that every family knows. The moat is not just decoration either; a real one helps hold water and keeps the castle standing a little longer. Print it on US Letter or A4 and crown your castle with the brightest flag you can.
