Castles Made of Sand... In a Box

by Terrence O'Brien on May 4, 2007 at 07:22 AM

Sculpt and Castles
Everybody loves sandcastles. It's in our nature. Humans are predisposed to eat, sleep, spread our seed, and build sandcastles. The gene that separates us from chimpanzees? The sandcastle gene. Unfortunately, some of us don't have what one would call "beach-ready" bodies.

So how does one fulfill his or her genetic predisposition to build fortresses of silica? You could get some sand, some water and put it in a box... or you could pay some one to do it for you (the American way really).

Sculpt and Castles comes with mini castle molds, mock shells, tools, a little sailboat and "unique 'always wet'" sand. Now you can build your own fortress of solitude in the privacy of your cubicle, except it'll be made of sand instead of ice.
