Kevin Lane’s Create A Castle molds give families a fun, successful and frustration-free way of building elaborate castles, towers and whatever else you can dream up, in the sand or snow! This can be achienved without struggling to use the traditional sand molds and these builds can be done quickly!
So the concept for Create A Castle came to founder Kevin Lane during a 2016 vacation at Laguna Beach, California. After watching a dad and his young son struggle to finish their castle, this web developer and super fan of castle building, started mulling over ideas to develop a more efficient way to construct imaginative sand creations.
Kevin realized that building an ornate castle with a shovel, a 5 gallon bucket and a couple of basic tools took far too long to keep the attention of any child. So what if a bucket was pre-molded with a detailed brick pattern? What if you filled it with sand from the top instead of the bottom? And what if you simply split the mold apart instead of lifting it? And what if it was all packaged up and easy to transport due to its split mold, patent pending stackable system? After combining all of these ideas, Create A Castle has become a reality.
