Let's Build a Sandcastle!

After a failed sandbox project, father and daughter head for the beach to consult with some sand sculpting experts, where they learn how to select a site, pack the sand, use a variety of tools (hands, shells and everyday items like a melon baller or a straw) and work on a simple turreted castle structure, before moving on to advanced techniques in the construction of a more elaborate castle. Oddly, the scene then switches from the seashore to a segment on face carving, which is complex in execution and results in a crude and unappealing sculpture, before winding up back at the sandbox, with father and daughter happily completing a project thanks to their new found skills. Informative, but somewhat disjointed (due to the face carving segment), this is an optional purchase. Aud: P. (J. Reed)
