Equipment for building sand castles can include a body having a single, monolithic, hollow structure with a vertical axis and a sidewall that is continuous and uninterrupted in a rotational direction about the vertical axis. The sidewall can include an inner pattern that is castle-like in appearance. The inner pattern can form an outer pattern in sand located inside the body. The body also has an open bottom, an open top that is completely unobstructed and has no inward protrusion, and a top radial dimension at the open top is smaller than a bottom radial dimension at the open bottom such that the body is tapered. A handle extends from the body adjacent the open top. The handle can be used to vertically lift the body from the sand located inside the body to form a freestanding sand castle without support from the body.

The present disclosure provides an archaeological and treasure-digging toy and a manufacturing method thereof. The archaeological and treasure-digging toy includes an ornament, an inclusion and a carrier. The inclusion wraps the ornament therein and has a smooth outer surface. The carrier wraps the inclusion therein.

Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture provide for a mold system for molding structures (e.g., sand castles) from one or more various types of molding substances (e.g., sand, clay, snow). In one embodiment, a mold system comprises a split mold comprising at least two mold sections. In one embodiment, a modular mold system allows for different types of mold sections with corresponding joining elements to be joined together to create forms for molding various types of structures. In some embodiments, mold sections are configured to facilitate the breaking of a vacuum created when molding substances are packed into the mold system, thus making it easier to separate a mold from the formed structure.

The invention relates to molds that are used to craft snow or sand into different shapes. Specifically, the present invention provides a mechanism for compressing the snow or sand, then assisting in the compression of the snow or sand, and/or assisting with the ejection of the same from the mold in order to produce an improved shape.

A sand molding kit for molding sand to the shape of a human body includes a plurality of molds. Each of the molds includes an inner surface, an outer surface and a perimeter edge. The inner surface is concavely shaped and the outer surface is convexly shaped. Each of the molds is fillable with sand such that the sand retains a shape of a corresponding one of the molds. A plurality of adornments is included wherein each of the adornments is positionable on sand molded with the plurality of molds.
