Curious George at the beach full day at the beach

Calling all budding architects! George is at the beach and would like some help making sand castles, but theres a science to it. In this game kids experiment by mixing sand and water, in various shaped containers, to determine the consistency needed to make a solid shape. After successfully creating a shape or multiple shapes, the next step is to use the shape(s) to construct an architectural masterpiece. The challenge to this level is in making the sandcastle structurally sound, as shapes will collapse if not supported. Kids can get creative with their sandcastles by adding decorative elements such as seaweed, shells or a flag to their designs. Clicking on the wave will wash it all away and allow for a fresh start.\r

Extend the learning: Collect materials with your child to build a castle. Find household items such as blocks, paper cups, egg cartons, cardboard tubes and other household items to build elaborate structures. Talk about which shapes provide better support for building and which make better ornamentation.
