 Sand art and play
A sand castle is a type of sand sculpture which resembles a miniature building, often (but not always) a castle.
The two basic building ingredients, sand and water, are available in abundance on a sandy beach and so most sand play occurs there, or in a sandbox.
A variant on the sand castle is the drip castle, made by mixing extra water in with the sand, and dripping this wet sand from a fist held above.

In the other, another 10-year-old died after a sand pile buried him at the construction site where he and his friends were playing.
In an accompanying editorial, Dr. Jay L. Grosfeld advises that children should only be allowed to play in sand dunes, dig tunnels at the beach, or build large sand castles when an adult is supervising.
The fact that one child in the current report died in his backyard sandbox suggests that there needs to be a limit on the depth of home sandboxes, according to Grosfeld, who is surgeon-in-chief at Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis.

Sand soccer is similar to its grass cousin, but it uses a smaller playing area and fewer players.

Nevertheless, sand soccer's most ardent boosters say its popularity is bound to grow because it's just so much fun to play and watch.
