Brainstorm Hats:
Warm up your 

Have you ever eaten cold noodles?  Much better when they're hot!

These hats are designed to keep your brains hot and squeeze out good ideas! You can start with a regular plain hat or you can look for a colander, a bicycle helmet, a metal lamp shade or a plastic bowl.

Then you need to go to your Premium Quality Junk collection and look for some colorful, light and funny shaped objects. Decorate your Brainstorm Hat with some of your best junk.

Add a sign or two to let people know who you are and what you're thinking.

You may find it useful to glue some sponge or foam rubber pieces inside the hat to make it fit better and to make it more comfortable.

If your hat falls off easily, try gluing 2 pipe cleaners to the sides of your hat and then twist them under your chin.

This fancy hat is built around a simple, red, plastic bowl.  When you get a good brainstorm, you pull a string and the exclamation sign pops up.
