Hugo and I visit a park close to our house regularly and take a few toys to play with while we’re over there, such as a bouncy ball, bucket with spade and accompanying rake.

Normally we’ll dig in the sand, build up mini-mountains of dirt and generally have a riot getting dirty. A while ago I showed Hugo that when we fill the bucket right up, we can flip it over fast and start making sand castles. It isn’t a new trick for him now but he is still impressed with the feat, often letting out a “wow!”.

I just need to convince him to let me build a few of them, so we can start building up!
