1. I love playing in the rain. I wait all year long for the monsoons to come.
Mum’s always paranoid about letting me out in the rain. She thinks i’ll
catch a cold and fever.
A few days ago, my mum and I came up with a plan. We decided to
make a rain costume that made playing in the rain superfun as well as
protected me from falling sick.
Here’s how we made our sea monster

2. We started by collecting all kinds of plastic waste around the house. We found old bottles,
coloured plastic bags, garbage bags, cans, pipes. We tried to find as many different patterns,
colours, textures as we could.
I drew a creature from my imagination. It had long tentacles, huge eyes, and spikes on it’s
back. Using colours from all the waste we’d gathered, I coloured in the drawing.

6. We took the bubblewrap bag and cut out holes for my head and arms. This made a
protective coat for my body. The bubblewrap coat is awesome. It’s great fun to burst the
bubbles.

hood onto the bubblewrap coat. My protective cover was ready.

18. Now we began to build the monster. We first cut out the shapes we wanted for the eyes and
the spikes. We stitched them on the sides (they could also be stuck) and stuffed them with
waste plastic bags to make them look 3d.
We cut out teeth on the hood and made tentacles from shiny reflector tape. These glow like
crazy!

26. We stitched these features onto the bubblewrap cover.
Now it was time to give the monster super powers.
Squirt!
Splash!
Spray!

28. Sponges are really cool. They absorb lots of water and it’s so much fun to squirt it out! We
cut them out into star,s fish, shells. We made a big pocket out of bubblewrap and attached it
onto the main coat. This pocket carried the sponges in the rain.

slippers using rubber solution.

34. Mum got a cool idea for collecting rainwater and using it for spraying water on others.
She took a plastic can and cut it into half. We found a bag that the can fit into tightly and
attached two ribbon straps onto it.(straps from old bags will work better). She made two holes
at the bottom of the bag and the can into which we fit two hose pipes. We made them leak-
proof by using Mseal.
