"There are a couple of different techniques you can use to build your sandcastle. The first one I'm going to show you right now is hand forming. Basically, all you're using is your hands. You're not going to use any buckets or shovels. It's best to, sometimes if you need to use a little bit of water, you can wet up the sand. If it's too dry like this, you need to get a little bit more water. You can feel free to use a bucket. This way it stays in the shape better and it allows you to form it. So, the first thing we're going to do is I'm going to start and build a little two layer sandcastle. And you just use your hands, and you can shape it and form it in whatever means you want. As you need water, you can add it because the water will actually help it stay together in a solid form. Next, what we're going to do is add the next layer. And once again, you can use a little bit of water, as you need to. It will help keep it together. So, what we've created here is a simple hand formed sandcastle that just shows just by using your hands, you can make any shape and form that you want and be very creative at the same time."
