"The moat is essentially going to be a river around the outside, a perimeter around our sandcastle. To do this, all we're going to use is our hand, at the beginning, and scrape away sand. Now that I've used my hand to dig out the initial part of the moat, I'm going to go back with a bucket of water or a spray bottle, and touch up the sides to make sure that it's sturdy and the sand won't fall in on itself. So now that we've finished our moat, I've gone around the outside and touched up the corners, using a little bit of water, to make sure that you have no loose sand around the outside that could potentially fall in and ruin your moat. And I've gone all around the outside, all four corners, and at the very end, the last thing I did was pour a little bit of water in the base of everything just to make it look like the bottom of a river."
