Building sandcastles to get active
While some beachgoers look forward to relaxing in the sun, others definitely need an activity. With kids, you can spend a lot of time building sandcastles or other sandy structures. However, this is only fun if you are also equipped accordingly and do not have to build any works of art with a small shovel and a bucket.
We have compiled the TOP 5 sand mining articles for you:
Hand Excavator
Before you can really get started you need a lot of sand in a pile. Depending on the size of the project, the hand excavator shovel is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized sand castles. In no time at all, a hole or even the basic structure of a castle is created, with which you can now go into detail. https://amzn.eu/d/4cd1h4g ¹Shovel
If you want to reach high, you also need a big shovel. Ideally, it has a fine cutting edge with which you can excavate targeted and straight areas - so it is also suitable for building moats and wall walls around the sand castle. In our opinion, metal shovels are unsuitable for small children. The shovel from betzold therefore differs from conventional shovels and is therefore our favorite for large sand castles! https://amzn.eu/d/16zP5x8 ¹Masonry set
When it comes to the finishing touches, surfaces need to be compacted, smoothed and clear edges created. With a masonry set, this is already possible for the little ones and is also fun for the parents! We have had good experiences with this set: https://amzn.eu/d/gpXen7F ¹Sieve
If you want to decorate your sand castle and make it distinctive, you should start looking for shells and stones. With a sieve the selection succeeds in short time and occupies even the smallest for a while. https://amzn.eu/d/fClHx5V ¹Sandcastle set
If you don't even know how to design your castle, you're well prepared for your beach vacation with a sandcastle set. Actually designed for kinetic, or very fine, sand, but overall very well thought out, we recommend this sandcastle set: https://amzn.eu/d/4OyTMPJ ¹
