User test

Today we had amazing fun! So we decided to test out the underwater creature costumes we designed. It happened to be Holi today as well, the festival of colours and water games! So perfect timing!

Have a look at the costumes. They're inspired from different underwater creatures and have little horns, spikes, tentacles, eyes like them. Just like how some of the underwater creatures glow, these costumes have parts with reflectors on them! There's a water tank that you strap on like a bag, which keeps collecting water. This is connected to two hose pipes! In the front there are pockets to hold water balloons and sponges. Sponge fights are awesome! The sponges have been cut out in different shapes inspired from underwater life -fish, star, shell!

The slippers are huge to increase the surface area when one jumps over a puddle to splash water! Walking in them is fun as well!

The costumes are made entirely with waste plastic at home. This is a Do It Yourself Product which can be easily constructed by a child at home! They can be creative and make their own creatures according to their preferences!
