Wave-Blocking Wall for Sandcastle

Video Transcript

"So the next thing we're going to build is a blocker for the waves, in case the tides come in. If, sometimes, big waves roll up, you don't want one to crash into your castle. So, I'm going to build a little blocker here that is actually going to protect the water from crashing up. I'll typically, kind of using this will dig out an area, just giving us some extra sand as we move along. So, next we're going to build our wall, and you can probably just use your hands to shape it. Any sort, the sand is probably going to be sticky because we dug down. If it's not, you can use a little bit of water. It'll help toughen the sand up to make sure it holds together, and you can just shape it with your hands. So, it's good to build the wall nice and big. That will help protect you from any waves that are out there."
