Easy-to-follow instructions, pictures, and drawings how you how. Dazzle your friends and passing strangers. Make snails, turtles, hippos, dragons, magnificent castles, even a Volkswagen in the sand.Sand sculpture is fun, creative, and wonderfully rewarding. Start with these models, then go on to create your own.Have a good time in the sand--everyone--alone or together.
