Next time you go to the beach, grab a few utensils from your kitchen and use these to build a sandcastle.

Use plastic spoons to scoop sand into a plastic bowl. Fill the bowl with some water, then turn it upside down to create a castle.

Fill plastic cups with sand and turn these upside down on top of the bowl mould to create the points of the castle.
