    How To Make
         
   

Designing:

Think about the weather in summer.

Talk with your teacher and other children about what may happen if you stay in the sun too long.

Can you make some clothes that would mean you could stay in the sun longer?

Think about how they would look.

Draw some pictures of your ideas. Try to use labels in your pictures.
