A well-built sand castle is a joy to behold, but here's a beach craft your kids will really get into. This two-seater dune buggy has all the options: sand dollar headlights, a Frisbee steering wheel, a driftwood windshield, and a pebble license plate.

Get your assembly line rolling by helping your kids pile up a big mound of sand and pack it down firm. Now, start sculpting the body. Keep in mind the old artist's trick: working from the top down, carve away anything that doesn't look like a dune buggy.

For our model, we rounded the car's hood and trunk, carved fat tires into the sides, and dug out a seat, a slanted dashboard, and a hole where the driver's and passenger's feet fit comfortably.

Once the basic shape is in place, your kids can add the trim: tire treads, driftwood windshield and bumpers, a shell hood ornament, a beach grass antenna, a towel seat cover, or whatever else they dream up.

As a last step, they can fill 'er up with shell gasoline, smooth out a highway, and hit the open road.
