(Music playing)
An animation shows a person camping, cooking and knitting. A title reads, How to do Stuff Good.
Marianne wears her curly hair loose, and wears a yellow t-shirt with denim shorts. Imi wears his hair in short braids, and a yellow t-shirt with jeans. He sits beside Jenna on a light green couch. Jenna wears her long brown hair in a ponytail. She wears a green t-shirt with denim overalls. Marianne and Imi fan themselves.
Jenna says, WHAT IS UP?
Marianne says, THE TEMPERATURE, THAT'S
WHAT'S UP.
Imi says, YEAH.
IT'S SO HOT RIGHT NOW.
BUT DON'T WORRY, WE'VE GOT SOME
ICE-COLD HACKS TO HELP YOU COOL
DOWN.
Jenna says, IT'S OUR...
They all say, HEATWAVE SPECIAL.
Marianne says, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, IF
YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT, JUST
WATCH
HOW TO DO STUFF GOOD.
Marianne winks.
Jenna says, WE GOTCHA!
HERE'S WHAT'S COMING UP NEXT.
A young person wearing a white bathrobe says, I'VE GOT A QUICK COOLIN'
TRICK IN AN ICE CUBE.
A long-haired girl sits on the floor, beside a small brown dog. She says, I'VE GOT A COOL OUTDOOR TREAT
THAT THE DOGGO IN YOUR LIFE IS
GONNA LOVE.
A curly-haired boy who wears sunglasses, says, I'M GONNA SHOW YOU HOW TO
TAKE YOUR TOWEL TO THE NEXT
LEVEL.
A short-haired boy holds up a cup of ice. He says, I'VE GOT AN ICE-COLD MAGIC
TRICK THAT'LL BEAT THE HEAT.
Marianne says, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I
AM SO EXCITED TO GET THIS SHOW
ON THE ROAD.
Imi replies, ME TOO.
LET'S GO BEFORE I START TO MELT.
Jenna adds, IT'S SO HOT, I CAN'T EVEN
HEAR MYSELF SWEAT.
Marianne asks, WHAT?
Imi asks, DID SHE JUST...?
Marianne says, LET'S GET THIS SHOW STARTED.
(Music plays)
An animation shows the person knitting with purple yarn. A title reads, How to do Stuff Good.
Text reads, Marianne. Marianne shakes her head and laughs as she dances around a small studio. Colourful crafts and decorations are displayed against purple walls. Marianne stands behind a craft table.
Rainbow-coloured sock creatures have googly eyes. Text reads, Rice ‘n’ Cool Sock Buddy.
Marianne asks, FEELING THE HEAT?
YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT.
THERE'S SOMEONE I WANT YOU TO
MEET.
TO MAKE YOUR VERY OWN RICE 'N
COOL SOCK BUDDY, YOU WILL NEED A
SOCK, A JAR OF RICE, ESSENTIAL
OILS - I'M USING PEPPERMINT AND
EUCALYPTUS - A ZIP LOCK BAG,
TWO GOOGLY EYES AND A
LOW-TEMP GLUE GUN.
FIRST, I'M GOING TO ADD THE
DROPS OF ESSENTIAL OIL INTO
UNCOOKED RICE.
I'M GONNA DO TWO DROPS OF EACH
OF THEM.
NOW, GRAB YOUR SOCK AND STRETCH
IT SO THAT IT GOES ON TOP OF THE
JAR OF RICE, FLIP OVER YOUR
RICE, AND LET IT ALL FALL IN.
NOW, FOLD IN THE END OF YOUR
SOCK.
AND JUST GLUE IT IN THERE.
MAKE SURE YOU GLUE THIS DOWN
REALLY TIGHT BECAUSE YOU DON'T
WANT IT SPILLING OUT.
FOLD THE OPENING INSIDE AND SEAL
WITH THE GLUE GUN, LIKE THIS.
I'M GOING TO MAKE THIS A BIT
SHORTER, SO TURN IT OVER ONTO
THE SIDE THAT ALREADY HAS THE
FOLDING AND JUST FOLD IT AND
GLUE IT DOWN.
AND THERE IT IS.
I THINK THIS SOCK BUDDY NEEDS
SOME EYES.
I SEE YOU.
MAKE SURE YOU GET THESE ON
BEFORE THE GLUE DRIES.
LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS!
THIS SMELLS AMAZING.
IT'S TIME TO POP IT INTO YOUR
ZIP LOCK BAG.
NOW, PUT IT INTO THE FREEZER FOR
THREE TO FOUR HOURS, SO IT'S
NICE AND COOL.
An animation shows a person holding a stopwatch. Marianne takes the sock buddy out of the zip lock bag.
Marianne says, HE'S SO COLD.
THIS WOULD BE SO REFRESHING ON A
HOT DAY.
AND HE'S SO CUTE, TOO.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO NOW,
COOLBERT?
YOU WANT TO CHILL.
YOU'VE GOT IT, BUD.
(Music plays)
An animation shows a yellow rocket blasting through space.
Text reads, Marayah-Kai. Marayah-Kai, who is the young person, dances around a studio which has yellow walls. She stands behind the craft table.
Marayah-Kai asks, WANT TO COOL OFF AND GET
PAMPERED IN A HEATWAVE?
I GOT YOU, FAM.
A tray of lemon, limes, cucumbers and herbs spins around. Text reads, Frozen Facial Scrub.
Marayah-Kai continues, CHECK OUT THIS FROZEN FACIAL
SCRUB IN AN ICE CUBE.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED -
CUCUMBERS, LEMON, HONEY, AND AN
ICE CUBE TRAY.
SO, FIRST, ADD THE CUCUMBERS.
I'M SNAPPING THEM BECAUSE THEN
IT'S EASIER FOR THEM TO GO IN.
THEN, ADD A SQUEEZE OF LEMON
JUICE AND A DRIZZLE OF HONEY.
I LIKE HONEY A LOT BECAUSE ITS
SWEET.
NOW, THAT IT LOOKS GOOD, IT'S
TIME TO BLEND IT.
Text reads, Adult Alert. Marayah-Kai blends the ingredients.
(Blender whirring)
I THINK I NEED TO
GIVE THIS A SHA-A-AKE.
Marayah-Kai shakes the mixture then blends it again.
(Blender whirring)
Marayah-Kai says, ONCE IT'S NICE AND WATERY, TAKE
THE LID OFF AND POUR IT INTO THE
ICE CUBE TRAY.
AND A LITTLE TASTE FOR ME.
She frowns.
Marayah-Kai says, YUCK!
THAT'S DISGUSTING.
I'M GLAD THIS IS GOING ON MY
FACE, NOT ON MY DINNER.
NOW, IT'S TIME TO PUT THESE IN
THE FREEZER.
An animation shows an hourglass. Marayah-Kai wears the bathrobe and picks up one of the cubes.
Marayah-Kai says, THEY'RE FROZEN.
BUT BEFORE USING THIS FROZEN
FACIAL, LEAVE IT FOR ABOUT 30
SECONDS AND THEN GENTLY RUB IT
OVER YOUR FACE.
Marayah-Kai rubs the cue over her face.
She says, IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY COLD.
MY EYES ARE WATERY.
YEAH, THIS WILL REALLY COOL ME
DOWN IN A HEATWAVE.
YOU WANT TO TRY SOME?
I GIVE THIS A 10 OUT OF 10.
BUT I GOT TO GO RINSE MY FACE
OFF.
BYE, FAM!
(Music plays)
An animation show toast popping from a toaster. Title, How to do Stuff Good.
Text reads, Imi. Imi dances in a studio with turquoise walls. He wears a dark blue apron. Imi pops up from behind the craft table, then he grins and waves his hand.
Imi asks, WHAT IF I TOLD YOU ONE WAY TO
COOL OFF IS TO HEAT THINGS UP?
YEAH, BEAT THE HEAT WITH MY
CHILLI CHILL-OUT.
A tray of corn chips, tomatoes, green chillies and coriander spins around. Text reads, Chilli Chillout.
Imi says, IT MIGHT SOUND WEIRD, BUT HOT
AND SPICY FOODS REALLY CAN HELP
YOU COOL DOWN.
WHY?
BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU SWEAT.
SO, HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED FOR MY
CHILLI CHILL-OUT - TOMATOES,
RED ONIONS, GARLIC, JALAPENOS,
SALT, CORIANDER, LIME JUICE,
CUMIN, CORN CHIPS, AND,
OF COURSE, CLEAN HANDS.
I'M USING JALAPENOS, BUT IF YOU
REALLY LIKE CHILLI, YOU CAN
SWITCH IT UP FOR AN EVEN HOTTER
PEPPER.
THIS IS SUPER EASY: JUST CHUCK
EVERYTHING INTO THE BLENDER.
WE START OFF WITH OUR TOMATOES.
OOH, I LOVE TOMATOES, SO I'M
GONNA PUT A LOT IN THERE.
THEN, OUR RED ONION, OUR GARLIC,
SOME JALAPENOS.
DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE AFTER
TOUCHING THE PEPPERS.
SOME SALT.
SOME LIME JUICE.
SOME CUMIN.
POP THE LID ON.
AND YEAH, BLEND IT.
Imi blends the ingredients in a blender.
(Blender whirring)
Imi continues, IT LOOKS PERFECT.
NOW, I'M GONNA POUR IT INTO THE
BOWL.
OOH, SMELLS SO GOOD.
JUST TO MAKE IT LOOK NICE, WE'LL
ADD SOME CORIANDER.
OOH, YEAH, LOOKING CLASSY.
MAYBE WE'LL SPRINKLE A LITTLE
BIT OF SALT ON THERE, JUST TO
TOP IT OFF.
AND THAT'S IT.
HOW EASY WAS THAT?
NOW, GRAB YOUR CORN CHIPS, AND
DIG IN.
YUMMY.
Imi tastes the mixture.
He says, HMM.
HMM.
Imi waves his hand in front of his face.
Imi says, OH, OH, IT'S A BIT HOT.
I'M SWEATING, I'M SWEATING.
BUT I'M COOLING DOWN.
I THINK MY CHILLI CHILL-OUT IS
PRETTY CHILL.
BYE!
(Music plays)
An animation shows two people fist-bumping. Title, How to do Stuff Good. Text reads, Best way to stay cool?
Imi says, AH, ONE WAY I STAY COOL IS I GET
A DRY-FIT T-SHIRT, AND THEN I
PUT IT IN ICE COLD WATER, AND
THEN, I WRAP IT OVER MY HEAD AND
THEN KEEPS ME COOL WHILE I'M
GAMING AND PLAYING GAMES WITH MY
FRIENDS.
Jenna says, I TAKE A REALLY COLD SHOWER.
Marianne says, FREEZER AISLE AT THE
SUPERMARKET FOR SURE.
The curly-haired boy says, I STAY COOL MY JUMPING IN THE
POOL.
BUT NOT JUST THE ORDINARY JUMP,
I DO THE MANU INTO THE POOL.
IT'S BASICALLY YOU WOULD-- YOU
WOULD STRAIGHTEN BOTH LEGS OUT,
AND YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR ARMS
GOING LIKE THIS, AND YOU JUST
CURVE YOUR BACK.
THE MANU.
(Music plays.)
An animation shows three darts hitting the bullseye on a dartboard. Title, How to do Stuff Good.
Text reads, Jenna. Jenna dances around a studio which has a guitar and a ukulele on an orange wall. She leans on the craft table and cradles her chin in her hands.
Jenn says, PICTURE THIS - IT'S SO HOT
AND YOU'RE SO THIRSTY.
OH, HOW CONVENIENT.
Jenna picks up a water bottle, which sprays water.
Jenna says, AAAH!
PRANKED!
(Music plays)
The water bottle is labelled, Do Not Open. The lid is loosened, then water sprays from several tiny holes in the bottle. Text reads, Water Bottle Leak.
Jenna continues, LET'S BE REAL, DURING A HEATWAVE
YOUR FRIENDS WILL PRACTICALLY
THANK YOU FOR THIS LEAKY BOTTLE
PRANK.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED -
A PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE, SOME
WATER, PINS, AND A MARKER.
FILL YOUR WATER BOTTLE RIGHT TO
THE TOP WITH WATER...
Jenna fills a water bottle.
Jenna continues, ...AND SCREW THE LID ON TIGHT.
NEXT, WRITE THE WORDS "DO NOT
OPEN" ON THE BOTTLE.
THIS IS GUARANTEED TO MAKE
SOMEONE OPEN IT.
CAREFULLY TAKE A PIN AND POKE A
BUNCH OF HOLES A FEW CENTIMETRES
FROM THE BOTTOM.
WHEN YOU POKE A HOLE, THE WATER
WILL SHOOT OUT, BUT IT WILL STOP
IN A COUPLE OF SECONDS.
THE HOLES NEED TO BE NEAR THE
BOTTOM BECAUSE... SCIENCE.
Jenna wears a lab coat and novelty glasses.
Jenna says, WHEN THERE IS
NO AIR IN THE BOTTLE, THE WATER
MOLECULES ACTUALLY FORM A KIND
OF SKIN TO SEAL THE HOLES.
THIS IS CALLED SURFACE TENSION.
WHEN THE AIR GETS IN, IT PUSHES
THE WATER OUT OF THE HOLES,
RESULTING IN A VERY IMMATURE
PRANK.
Jenna shakes her head.
Jenna continues, THANKS TO THE
POWER OF SCIENCE, THIS PRANK IS
A GO.
TO THE DEN.
An animation shows the title, How to do Stuff Good, in a picture frame.
Imi and Marianne sit at a round lilac-coloured table. Imi fan himself.
Imi says, OH, IT'S SO HOT.
Marianne says, I'M SO THIRSTY.
Two bottles of water appear from the centre of the table.
Marianne says, OKAY, I OFFICIALLY LOVE THE
REVEAL TABLE.
Imi says, WHOA, WAIT!
IT SAYS "DO NOT OPEN."
SURELY THAT DOESN'T APPLY TO US?
They both say, NAH!
Jenn sits nearby. She covers her face as Imi and Marianne open the bottles and are sprayed with water.
(Gasping)
Marianne says, NO!
Jenna says, YOU'RE PRANKED!
Imi and Marianne say, JENNA!
Imi says, ACTUALLY...
Jenna says, I'M NOT MAD.
Imi continues, THIS IS QUITE REFRESHING.
Jenn says, YOU'RE WELCOME.
LET'S GET BACK TO THE HACKS.
(Music plays)
An animation shows sleep zees drifting out of a tent at a campsite. Title, How to do Stuff Good.
(Music plays)
Text reads, Piper. Piper, who is the long-haired girl, dances around a studio with bright green walls. A small blue shed and tree cutouts decorate the studio. Piper grins and waves her hands.
Piper says, SPOILE ALERT -
HUMANS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES WHO
LOVE A COLD SNACK ON A HOT
SUMMER'S DAY.
SO, HERE'S HOW TO MAKE THE GREAT
OUTDOORS EVEN GREATER FOR THE
NUMBER ONE DOGGO IN YOUR LIFE.
A bowl-sized ice cube which has green herbs and a dog toy in it, spins on a plate. Text reads, Frozen Dog Treats.
(Dog panting)
(Dog barking)
Piper says, TO MAKE THIS EPIC FROZEN DOG
TREAT, YOU'LL NEED WATER,
SALTLESS BROTH, PARSLEY - WHICH
WILL MAKE YOUR DOG'S BREATH
REALLY GOOD - WATERMELON,
SARDINES - WHICH WON'T MAKE YOUR
DOG'S BREATH REALLY GOOD - YOUR
DOG'S FAVOURITE TOYS, AND A BOWL
LIKE THIS.
START OFF BY PUTTING ALL THE
SOLID INGREDIENTS INTO YOUR
BOWL - YOUR DOG'S FAVOURITE
TOYS, SARDINES, ONLY A FEW
PIECES OF WATERMELON, AND SOME
PARSLEY.
YOU CAN EVEN ADD DIFFERENT
VEGGIES OR MEATS, ANY TYPE OF
TREAT THAT YOUR DOG LIKES.
I'M GONNA WATER DOWN THE BROTH,
AND THEN POUR IT ALL INTO THE
BOWL.
Piper pours the watered-down broth into the bowl.
Piper continues, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FILL IT UP ALL
THE WAY TO THE TOP, BUT FILL IT
UP AROUND NEAR THERE.
MY DOG REALLY LOVES SARDINES, SO
I'M GOING STICK IT'S HEAD OUT AS
A NICE APPETIZER FOR THE DOG.
THIS MIGHT LOOK AND SMELL PRETTY
GROSS TO US HUMANS, BUT THIS IS
A DOG'S DREAM COME TRUE.
LET'S POP IT IN THE FREEZER.
An animation of the hourglass shows time passing. Piper sits on the floor with the frozen dog treat in front of her.
Piper says, TELL ME A DOG IS NOT GONNA LOVE
THIS.
The brown dog runs up to the treat and sniffs it.
Piper continues, JUST BE PREPARED FOR A LOT OF
THANK YOU LICKS.
The brown dog licks the treat.
Piper pets the brown dog and says, YOU'RE A GOOD DOGGO!
YOU'RE A GOOD DOGGO!
WHO'S A GOOD DOGGO?
YOU'RE A GOOD DOGGO!
(Music plays)
An animation shows races cars speeding across a finish line.
Text reads, Imi. Imi wiggles his arms and twirls as he dances around a studio with yellow walls.
Imi asks, SICK AND TIRED OF SEARCHING
FOR YOUR NEXT HEATWAVE SNACK
HACK?
LOOK NO FURTHER.
MY EDIBLE JELLY CUPS ARE GONNA
LEAVE YOU SHOOK.
Green, red and blue edible jelly cups are garnished with fresh fruit. Text reads, Jelly Cups.
Imi says, HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED -
SOME PLASTIC CUPS -
TWO DIFFERENT SIZES -
A HOLE PUNCH, SOME SKEWERS,
SOME JELLY, SOME GELATINE,
SOME HOT WATER, AND, OF COURSE,
CLEAN HANDS.
FIRST, YOU HAVE TO MAKE FOUR
HOLES AT THE TOP OF THE CUPS
OPPOSITE EACH OTHER.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET AN ADULT
TO HELP WITH THIS STEP.
THAT'S ALL DONE.
LET'S PUT THESE ASIDE AND MAKE
OUR JELLY.
POUR IN THE JELLY CRYSTALS.
AND THEN, NOW, WE'LL POUR IN OUR
GELATINE.
AND THEN, WE ADD OUR HOT WATER.
AND THEN, WE MIX.
Imi mixes the gelatine and the crystals.
Imi says, AH, THAT'S ALL DONE.
NOW, WE LEAVE IT TO COOL.
The animation of the hourglass shows time passing.
Imi says, ONCE IT'S COOLED DOWN, YOU POUR
YOUR JELLY MIXTURE INTO THE
LARGER CUP, JUST LIKE THAT.
AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT THICKER
THAN NORMAL JELLY BECAUSE OF THE
GELATINE.
AND THEN, WE GET OUR SMALLER CUP
AND PUSH IT DOWN INTO THE LARGER
CUP.
AND TO KEEP IT IN THE MIDDLE, WE
GET OUR SKEWERS AND PUT IT
THROUGH THE HOLES THAT WE MADE.
THESE SKEWERS ARE GONNA HOLD THE
CUP INTO THE MIDDLE AND GIVE US
THAT NICE SHAPE.
NOW, THESE ARE OFF INTO THE
FRIDGE TO SET FOR ABOUT SIX
HOURS.
The animation of the hourglass shows time passing.
Imi says, OKAY, LET'S SEE IF IT WORKED.
Imi pulls the skewers out of the cups.
Imi says, AH!
IT'S TOUGH IT GET IT OUT.
I DON'T WANT TO BREAK IT.
OH!
I JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE IT GETS
OFF THE SMALLER CUP WITHOUT
BREAKING.
GENTLE, COME ON.
OH!
YES, YES!
IT WORKED!
YES!
LET'S TRY IT AGAIN.
YES!
YES!
TWO OF 'EM.
ALREADY TO PUT YOUR FAVOURITE
FRUIT IN THEM AND SERVE 'EM UP.
Imi dances.
Imi says, THESE LOOK SO GOOD, BUT THE BEST
PART IS NO DISHES, GIVING YOU
MORE TIME TO JUST CHILL OUT AND
BE A LEGEND.
LET'S PARTY.
(Music plays)
An animation shows two people slapping hands and fist-bumping. Title, How to do Stuff Good.
Text reads, Hot or Cold?
Sahara says, I PERSONALLY LIKE THE COLD
BECAUSE, IF IT'S COLD, YOU CAN
JUST PUT LIKE LAYERS ON.
BUT IF IT'S HOT, A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF LAYERS YOU CAN TAKE
OFF BEFORE IT BECOMES WEIRD.
Imi says, I ABSOLUTELY HATE BEING COLD.
I'D RATHER BE HOT THAN COLD.
The curly-haired boy says, WHEN IT'S HOT, I REALLY CAN'T
SLEEP AT NIGHT.
BUT WHEN IT'S COLD, IT'S REALLY
EASY TO SLEEP.
Piper says, COLD BECAUSE, WHEN WE GO BACK
TO MY HOMETOWN IN NEW ZEALAND,
YOU CAN LIKE SKI WHEN IT'S IN
WINTER.
IT'S REALLY FUN SKIING JUST
IN THE COLD.
A brown-haired boy says, I'VE JUST GOT TO SAY, I LOVE
HOT WEATHER.
I LOVE GOING TO THE BEACH.
I LOVE EATING ICE CREAM.
I LOVE JUST SITTING UNDER THE
AIR CON, WATCHING TV ON A HOT
DAY.
(Music plays)

Text reads, Sahara. Sahara wears her curly hair in a ponytail. She wears a red apron as she dances around the studio with turquoise walls. Sahara jumps up behind the craft table.
Sahara asks, WHAT COULD BE MORE REFRESHING
ON A HOT DAY THAN WATERMELON?
WATERMELON ICE CREAM, OF COURSE!
Pink ice cream sits on top of watermelon balls, in a hollowed-out watermelon bowl. Text reads, Watermelon Ice Cream.
Sahara says, HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA NEED -
A WATERMELON, GREEK YOGHURT,
HONEY, LIME JUICE, AND CLEAN
HANDS.
WATERMELON IS A MISSION TO CUT.
SO, ASK AN ADULT TO CUT ONE IN
HALF FOR YOU.
LIKE THAT!
SCOOP OUT THE INSIDES OF ONE
HALF.
She scoops out the watermelon half.
She says, OKAY, DONE.
THIS EMPTY HALF IS GONNA BE OUR
BOWL.
HOW BOUGIE.
NOW, LET'S BLEND OUR WATERMELON
WITH OUR YOGHURT.
ABOUT THREE SCOOPS.
SOME HONEY AND OUR LIME JUICE.
NOW, LET'S POP THE LID ON.
Sahara blends the ice cream mixture in a blender.
(Blender whirring)
Sahara says, KEEP WHIZZING UNTIL THE
WATERMELON IS ALL BLENDED.
NOW, THIS GOES INTO THE FREEZER
AND WE'RE GONNA STIR EVERY HOUR.
The animation of a person holding a stopwatch shows time passing.
Sahara says, NOW THAT THAT'S FREEZING, I'M
GONNA SCOOP OUT SOME FRESH
WATERMELON.
NOW, THAT THE WATERMELON ICE
CREAM IS FROZEN, LET'S PLATE IT.
HOW GOOD IS THIS GONNA BE ON A
HOT DAY?
The watermelon ice cream bowl spins around.
Sahara says, IT LOOKS SO GOOD.
NOW, TO TRY IT.
TWO OF SUMMER'S TASTIEST TREATS
TOGETHER AT LAST.
AND THE BEST THING IS, THERE'S
ENOUGH FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.
(Music plays)
A person paints purple paint over a stencil which reads, How to do Stuff Good.
Text reads, Ashok. Ashok, who is the curly-haired boy, dances in the studio with purple walls. He laughs, then he twirls in the air.
Ashok says, IT DRIES YOU OFF FROM WHEN
YOU'RE WET FROM A SWIM.
IT STOPS YOUR BUTT FROM GETTING
SANDY WHEN YOU SIT ON THE BEACH.
CAN THE INVENTION OF THE AMAZING
BEACH TOWEL GET ANY BETTER?
WHY YES.
YES, IT CAN.
Sunglasses sit on top of a lobster towel pillow. Sea creature toys are scattered across a striped towel. Text reads, Beach Towel Upgrade.
Ashok says, HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED -
A SMALL PILLOW, TWO BEACH
TOWELS, AND A LOW-TEMPERATURE
GLUE GUN, AND A HANDY ADULT
'CAUSE THIS THING CAN GET HOT.
Text reads, Adult Alert.
Ashok says, FIRST, GRAB ONE OF YOUR TOWELS
AND JUST LAY IT OUT.
THEN, MEASURE AND FOLD IT INTO
THIRDS.
THIS IS GONNA BE YOUR PILLOW
COVERING.
NOW, LET'S TRY TO SEE IF THE
PILLOW FITS.
YEP, IT'S THE PERFECT SIZE.
WE WILL JUST UNFOLD IT, PUT OUR
PILLOW TO THE SIDE, AND LET'S
START GLUING THE EDGES.
YOU WANT TO USE A FAIR PIT OF
GLUE, SO IT DOESN'T COME UNDONE.
NOW, WE WANT TO PRESS IT DOWN
NICE AND FIRM.
AND THEN, START ON THE OTHER
END.
Ashok applies glue to the other end of the towel.
Ashok says, PRESS IT NICE AND FIRMLY, SO IT
STICKS.
NOW, LET'S GLUE THIS FLAP ON
TOP.
Ashok folds the flap over and applies more glue.
He says, PRESS NICE AND FIRMLY.
NOW, YOU'VE GOT A PILLOWCASE.
LET'S ATTACH OUR TOWELS
TOGETHER.
GRAB THIS TOWEL, PUT IT TO THE
SIDE, UNFOLD THIS TOWEL.
I'LL JUST PUT A BIG LONG STRIP
OF GLUE DOWN, SO I CAN ATTACH
OUR PILLOW CASE TO OUR BIG
TOWEL.
PUSH DOWN THE GLUE.
NOW, ONCE YOU'VE FINISHED WITH
THAT, WE CAN ADD OUR PILLOW.
Ashok puts the pillow into the pillow case.
LET'S TEST TO SEE IF THIS WORKS.
Ashok lies on the pillow.
Ashok says, OH!
THIS IS NOT A TOWEL.
Ashok puts on his sunglasses.
He says, IT'S A "WOWEL".

COOL DOWN ON A HOT DAY AND BLOW
THEIR MINDS AT THE SAME TIME?
CHECK OUT THIS MAGIC TRICK.
Text reads, Water to Ice. A clear plastic cup is filled with ice cubes.
Cooper says, I'M GONNA TURN WATER INTO ICE.
OKAY.
(EXHALING SHARPLY)
NOW, JUST GRAB WATER.
Cooper takes a sip of water.
He continues, AH, REFRESHING.
OKAY.
I'LL POUR IT IN HERE.
WITH THE MAGIC WORD
ABRAKECOOPER...
Cooper taps a clear plastic cup against a red plastic cup.
(Rattling)
Cooper asks, YOU HEAR THAT, GUYS?
Cooper shakes the red plastic cup.
(Rattling)
Cooper pours ice from the red cup into the clear plastic cup.
Cooper says, MAGIC!
JUST WHAT YOU NEED ON A HOT DAY!
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW IT'S DONE.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED -
TWO CUPS, ONE CLEAR, ONE NOT,
ICE, WATER, AND A SPONGE.
LIKE A LOT OF MAGIC, THIS ONE IS
SUPER EASY TO DO...
IF YOU KNOW HOW.
FIRST UP, YOU PUT YOUR SPONGE IN
A CUP - THE ONE THAT YOU CAN'T
SEE THROUGH, OBVIOUSLY.
AND JUST POUR YOUR ICE INTO IT.
JUST A LITTLE BIT.
POP SOME WATER INTO THE
SEE-THROUGH CUP.
YOU CAN HAVE THIS CUP AND SELL
IT BY GOING, "OH, MM-MM, SUPER
YUMMY."
AND WHEN YOU POUR THE WATER
IN...
Cooper pours the water into the red plastic cup.
He continues, THE SPONGE IN IT ACTUALLY
ABSORBS THE WATER, SO WHEN YOU
TIP IT BACK OUT...
Cooper pours the ice out of the red plastic cup.
Cooper says, ...IT LEAVES YOU WITH A REALLY
FOOLING TRICK.
AND YOU CAN TIP IT UPSIDE-DOWN
TO REALLY SHOW THERE'S NO MORE
DRIPS.
TRY IT OUT FOR YOURSELF NEXT
TIME YOUR MATES NEED TO COOL
OFF.

THE SIDE THAT ALREADY HAS THE
FOLDING AND JUST FOLD IT AND
GLUE IT DOWN.
AND THERE IT IS.
I THINK THIS SOCK BUDDY NEEDS
SOME EYES.
I SEE YOU.
MAKE SURE YOU GET THESE ON
BEFORE THE GLUE DRIES.
LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS!
THIS SMELLS AMAZING.
IT'S TIME TO POP IT INTO YOUR
ZIP LOCK BAG.
NOW, PUT IT INTO THE FREEZER FOR
THREE TO FOUR HOURS, SO IT'S
NICE AND COOL.
An animation shows a person holding a stopwatch. Marianne takes the sock buddy out of the zip lock bag.
Marianne says, HE'S SO COLD.
THIS WOULD BE SO REFRESHING ON A
HOT DAY.
AND HE'S SO CUTE, TOO.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO NOW,
COOLBERT?
YOU WANT TO CHILL.
YOU'VE GOT IT, BUD.
(Music plays)

Marayah-Kai asks, WANT TO COOL OFF AND GET
PAMPERED IN A HEATWAVE?
I GOT YOU, FAM.
A tray of lemon, limes, cucumbers and herbs spins around. Text reads, Frozen Facial Scrub.
Marayah-Kai continues, CHECK OUT THIS FROZEN FACIAL
SCRUB IN AN ICE CUBE.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED -
CUCUMBERS, LEMON, HONEY, AND AN
ICE CUBE TRAY.
SO, FIRST, ADD THE CUCUMBERS.
I'M SNAPPING THEM BECAUSE THEN
IT'S EASIER FOR THEM TO GO IN.
THEN, ADD A SQUEEZE OF LEMON
JUICE AND A DRIZZLE OF HONEY.
I LIKE HONEY A LOT BECAUSE ITS
SWEET.
NOW, THAT IT LOOKS GOOD, IT'S
TIME TO BLEND IT.
Text reads, Adult Alert. Marayah-Kai blends the ingredients.
(Blender whirring)
I THINK I NEED TO
GIVE THIS A SHA-A-AKE.
Marayah-Kai shakes the mixture then blends it again.
(Blender whirring)
Marayah-Kai says, ONCE IT'S NICE AND WATERY, TAKE
THE LID OFF AND POUR IT INTO THE
ICE CUBE TRAY.
AND A LITTLE TASTE FOR ME.
She frowns.
Marayah-Kai says, YUCK!
THAT'S DISGUSTING.
I'M GLAD THIS IS GOING ON MY
FACE, NOT ON MY DINNER.
NOW, IT'S TIME TO PUT THESE IN
THE FREEZER.
An animation shows an hourglass. Marayah-Kai wears the bathrobe and picks up one of the cubes.
Marayah-Kai says, THEY'RE FROZEN.
BUT BEFORE USING THIS FROZEN
FACIAL, LEAVE IT FOR ABOUT 30
SECONDS AND THEN GENTLY RUB IT
OVER YOUR FACE.
Marayah-Kai rubs the cue over her face.
She says, IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY COLD.
MY EYES ARE WATERY.
YEAH, THIS WILL REALLY COOL ME
DOWN IN A HEATWAVE.
YOU WANT TO TRY SOME?
I GIVE THIS A 10 OUT OF 10.
BUT I GOT TO GO RINSE MY FACE
OFF.
BYE, FAM!

Imi asks, WHAT IF I TOLD YOU ONE WAY TO
COOL OFF IS TO HEAT THINGS UP?
YEAH, BEAT THE HEAT WITH MY
CHILLI CHILL-OUT.
A tray of corn chips, tomatoes, green chillies and coriander spins around. Text reads, Chilli Chillout.
Imi says, IT MIGHT SOUND WEIRD, BUT HOT
AND SPICY FOODS REALLY CAN HELP
YOU COOL DOWN.
WHY?
BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU SWEAT.
SO, HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED FOR MY
CHILLI CHILL-OUT - TOMATOES,
RED ONIONS, GARLIC, JALAPENOS,
SALT, CORIANDER, LIME JUICE,
CUMIN, CORN CHIPS, AND,
OF COURSE, CLEAN HANDS.
I'M USING JALAPENOS, BUT IF YOU
REALLY LIKE CHILLI, YOU CAN
SWITCH IT UP FOR AN EVEN HOTTER
PEPPER.
THIS IS SUPER EASY: JUST CHUCK
EVERYTHING INTO THE BLENDER.
WE START OFF WITH OUR TOMATOES.
OOH, I LOVE TOMATOES, SO I'M
GONNA PUT A LOT IN THERE.
THEN, OUR RED ONION, OUR GARLIC,
SOME JALAPENOS.
DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE AFTER
TOUCHING THE PEPPERS.
SOME SALT.
SOME LIME JUICE.
SOME CUMIN.
POP THE LID ON.
AND YEAH, BLEND IT.
Imi blends the ingredients in a blender.
(Blender whirring)
Imi continues, IT LOOKS PERFECT.
NOW, I'M GONNA POUR IT INTO THE
BOWL.
OOH, SMELLS SO GOOD.
JUST TO MAKE IT LOOK NICE, WE'LL
ADD SOME CORIANDER.
OOH, YEAH, LOOKING CLASSY.
MAYBE WE'LL SPRINKLE A LITTLE
BIT OF SALT ON THERE, JUST TO
TOP IT OFF.
AND THAT'S IT.
HOW EASY WAS THAT?
NOW, GRAB YOUR CORN CHIPS, AND
DIG IN.
YUMMY.
Imi tastes the mixture.
He says, HMM.
HMM.
Imi waves his hand in front of his face.
Imi says, OH, OH, IT'S A BIT HOT.
I'M SWEATING, I'M SWEATING.
BUT I'M COOLING DOWN.
I THINK MY CHILLI CHILL-OUT IS
PRETTY CHILL.
BYE!
(Music plays)
An animation shows two people fist-bumping. Title, How to do Stuff Good. Text reads, Best way to stay cool?
Imi says, AH, ONE WAY I STAY COOL IS I GET
A DRY-FIT T-SHIRT, AND THEN I
PUT IT IN ICE COLD WATER, AND
THEN, I WRAP IT OVER MY HEAD AND
THEN KEEPS ME COOL WHILE I'M
GAMING AND PLAYING GAMES WITH MY
FRIENDS.
Jenna says, I TAKE A REALLY COLD SHOWER.
Marianne says, FREEZER AISLE AT THE
SUPERMARKET FOR SURE.
The curly-haired boy says, I STAY COOL MY JUMPING IN THE
POOL.
BUT NOT JUST THE ORDINARY JUMP,
I DO THE MANU INTO THE POOL.
IT'S BASICALLY YOU WOULD-- YOU
WOULD STRAIGHTEN BOTH LEGS OUT,
AND YOU WOULD HAVE YOUR ARMS
GOING LIKE THIS, AND YOU JUST
CURVE YOUR BACK.
THE MANU.
(Music plays.)
An animation shows three darts hitting the bullseye on a dartboard. Title, How to do Stuff Good.
Text reads, Jenna. Jenna dances around a studio which has a guitar and a ukulele on an orange wall. She leans on the craft table and cradles her chin in her hands.
Jenn says, PICTURE THIS - IT'S SO HOT
AND YOU'RE SO THIRSTY.
OH, HOW CONVENIENT.
Jenna picks up a water bottle, which sprays water.
Jenna says, AAAH!
PRANKED!
(Music plays)
The water bottle is labelled, Do Not Open. The lid is loosened, then water sprays from several tiny holes in the bottle. Text reads, Water Bottle Leak.
Jenna continues, LET'S BE REAL, DURING A HEATWAVE
YOUR FRIENDS WILL PRACTICALLY
THANK YOU FOR THIS LEAKY BOTTLE
PRANK.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED -
A PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE, SOME
WATER, PINS, AND A MARKER.
FILL YOUR WATER BOTTLE RIGHT TO
THE TOP WITH WATER...
Jenna fills a water bottle.
Jenna continues, ...AND SCREW THE LID ON TIGHT.
NEXT, WRITE THE WORDS "DO NOT
OPEN" ON THE BOTTLE.
THIS IS GUARANTEED TO MAKE
SOMEONE OPEN IT.
CAREFULLY TAKE A PIN AND POKE A
BUNCH OF HOLES A FEW CENTIMETRES
FROM THE BOTTOM.
WHEN YOU POKE A HOLE, THE WATER
WILL SHOOT OUT, BUT IT WILL STOP
IN A COUPLE OF SECONDS.
THE HOLES NEED TO BE NEAR THE
BOTTOM BECAUSE... SCIENCE.
Jenna wears a lab coat and novelty glasses.
Jenna says, WHEN THERE IS
NO AIR IN THE BOTTLE, THE WATER
MOLECULES ACTUALLY FORM A KIND
OF SKIN TO SEAL THE HOLES.
THIS IS CALLED SURFACE TENSION.
WHEN THE AIR GETS IN, IT PUSHES
THE WATER OUT OF THE HOLES,
RESULTING IN A VERY IMMATURE
PRANK.
Jenna shakes her head.
Jenna continues, THANKS TO THE
POWER OF SCIENCE, THIS PRANK IS
A GO.
TO THE DEN.
An animation shows the title, How to do Stuff Good, in a picture frame.
Imi and Marianne sit at a round lilac-coloured table. Imi fan himself.
Imi says, OH, IT'S SO HOT.
Marianne says, I'M SO THIRSTY.
Two bottles of water appear from the centre of the table.
Marianne says, OKAY, I OFFICIALLY LOVE THE
REVEAL TABLE.
Imi says, WHOA, WAIT!
IT SAYS "DO NOT OPEN."
SURELY THAT DOESN'T APPLY TO US?
They both say, NAH!
Jenn sits nearby. She covers her face as Imi and Marianne open the bottles and are sprayed with water.
(Gasping)
Marianne says, NO!
Jenna says, YOU'RE PRANKED!
Imi and Marianne say, JENNA!
Imi says, ACTUALLY...
Jenna says, I'M NOT MAD.
Imi continues, THIS IS QUITE REFRESHING.
Jenn says, YOU'RE WELCOME.
LET'S GET BACK TO THE HACKS.

Piper says, SPOILE ALERT -
HUMANS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES WHO
LOVE A COLD SNACK ON A HOT
SUMMER'S DAY.
SO, HERE'S HOW TO MAKE THE GREAT
OUTDOORS EVEN GREATER FOR THE
NUMBER ONE DOGGO IN YOUR LIFE.
A bowl-sized ice cube which has green herbs and a dog toy in it, spins on a plate. Text reads, Frozen Dog Treats.
(Dog panting)
(Dog barking)
Piper says, TO MAKE THIS EPIC FROZEN DOG
TREAT, YOU'LL NEED WATER,
SALTLESS BROTH, PARSLEY - WHICH
WILL MAKE YOUR DOG'S BREATH
REALLY GOOD - WATERMELON,
SARDINES - WHICH WON'T MAKE YOUR
DOG'S BREATH REALLY GOOD - YOUR
DOG'S FAVOURITE TOYS, AND A BOWL
LIKE THIS.
START OFF BY PUTTING ALL THE
SOLID INGREDIENTS INTO YOUR
BOWL - YOUR DOG'S FAVOURITE
TOYS, SARDINES, ONLY A FEW
PIECES OF WATERMELON, AND SOME
PARSLEY.
YOU CAN EVEN ADD DIFFERENT
VEGGIES OR MEATS, ANY TYPE OF
TREAT THAT YOUR DOG LIKES.
I'M GONNA WATER DOWN THE BROTH,
AND THEN POUR IT ALL INTO THE
BOWL.
Piper pours the watered-down broth into the bowl.
Piper continues, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FILL IT UP ALL
THE WAY TO THE TOP, BUT FILL IT
UP AROUND NEAR THERE.
MY DOG REALLY LOVES SARDINES, SO
I'M GOING STICK IT'S HEAD OUT AS
A NICE APPETIZER FOR THE DOG.
THIS MIGHT LOOK AND SMELL PRETTY
GROSS TO US HUMANS, BUT THIS IS
A DOG'S DREAM COME TRUE.
LET'S POP IT IN THE FREEZER.
An animation of the hourglass shows time passing. Piper sits on the floor with the frozen dog treat in front of her.
Piper says, TELL ME A DOG IS NOT GONNA LOVE
THIS.
The brown dog runs up to the treat and sniffs it.
Piper continues, JUST BE PREPARED FOR A LOT OF
THANK YOU LICKS.
The brown dog licks the treat.
Piper pets the brown dog and says, YOU'RE A GOOD DOGGO!
YOU'RE A GOOD DOGGO!
WHO'S A GOOD DOGGO?
YOU'RE A GOOD DOGGO!

FOR YOUR NEXT HEATWAVE SNACK
HACK?
LOOK NO FURTHER.
MY EDIBLE JELLY CUPS ARE GONNA
LEAVE YOU SHOOK.
Green, red and blue edible jelly cups are garnished with fresh fruit. Text reads, Jelly Cups.
Imi says, HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED -
SOME PLASTIC CUPS -
TWO DIFFERENT SIZES -
A HOLE PUNCH, SOME SKEWERS,
SOME JELLY, SOME GELATINE,
SOME HOT WATER, AND, OF COURSE,
CLEAN HANDS.
FIRST, YOU HAVE TO MAKE FOUR
HOLES AT THE TOP OF THE CUPS
OPPOSITE EACH OTHER.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET AN ADULT
TO HELP WITH THIS STEP.
THAT'S ALL DONE.
LET'S PUT THESE ASIDE AND MAKE
OUR JELLY.
POUR IN THE JELLY CRYSTALS.
AND THEN, NOW, WE'LL POUR IN OUR
GELATINE.
AND THEN, WE ADD OUR HOT WATER.
AND THEN, WE MIX.
Imi mixes the gelatine and the crystals.
Imi says, AH, THAT'S ALL DONE.
NOW, WE LEAVE IT TO COOL.
The animation of the hourglass shows time passing.
Imi says, ONCE IT'S COOLED DOWN, YOU POUR
YOUR JELLY MIXTURE INTO THE
LARGER CUP, JUST LIKE THAT.
AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT THICKER
THAN NORMAL JELLY BECAUSE OF THE
GELATINE.
AND THEN, WE GET OUR SMALLER CUP
AND PUSH IT DOWN INTO THE LARGER
CUP.
AND TO KEEP IT IN THE MIDDLE, WE
GET OUR SKEWERS AND PUT IT
THROUGH THE HOLES THAT WE MADE.
THESE SKEWERS ARE GONNA HOLD THE
CUP INTO THE MIDDLE AND GIVE US
THAT NICE SHAPE.
NOW, THESE ARE OFF INTO THE
FRIDGE TO SET FOR ABOUT SIX
HOURS.
The animation of the hourglass shows time passing.
Imi says, OKAY, LET'S SEE IF IT WORKED.
Imi pulls the skewers out of the cups.
Imi says, AH!
IT'S TOUGH IT GET IT OUT.
I DON'T WANT TO BREAK IT.
OH!
I JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE IT GETS
OFF THE SMALLER CUP WITHOUT
BREAKING.
GENTLE, COME ON.
OH!
YES, YES!
IT WORKED!
YES!
LET'S TRY IT AGAIN.
YES!
YES!
TWO OF 'EM.
ALREADY TO PUT YOUR FAVOURITE
FRUIT IN THEM AND SERVE 'EM UP.
Imi dances.
Imi says, THESE LOOK SO GOOD, BUT THE BEST
PART IS NO DISHES, GIVING YOU
MORE TIME TO JUST CHILL OUT AND
BE A LEGEND.
LET'S PARTY.

Sahara says, I PERSONALLY LIKE THE COLD
BECAUSE, IF IT'S COLD, YOU CAN
JUST PUT LIKE LAYERS ON.
BUT IF IT'S HOT, A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF LAYERS YOU CAN TAKE
OFF BEFORE IT BECOMES WEIRD.
Imi says, I ABSOLUTELY HATE BEING COLD.
I'D RATHER BE HOT THAN COLD.
The curly-haired boy says, WHEN IT'S HOT, I REALLY CAN'T
SLEEP AT NIGHT.
BUT WHEN IT'S COLD, IT'S REALLY
EASY TO SLEEP.
Piper says, COLD BECAUSE, WHEN WE GO BACK
TO MY HOMETOWN IN NEW ZEALAND,
YOU CAN LIKE SKI WHEN IT'S IN
WINTER.
IT'S REALLY FUN SKIING JUST
IN THE COLD.
A brown-haired boy says, I'VE JUST GOT TO SAY, I LOVE
HOT WEATHER.
I LOVE GOING TO THE BEACH.
I LOVE EATING ICE CREAM.
I LOVE JUST SITTING UNDER THE
AIR CON, WATCHING TV ON A HOT
DAY.

ON A HOT DAY THAN WATERMELON?
WATERMELON ICE CREAM, OF COURSE!
Pink ice cream sits on top of watermelon balls, in a hollowed-out watermelon bowl. Text reads, Watermelon Ice Cream.
Sahara says, HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA NEED -
A WATERMELON, GREEK YOGHURT,
HONEY, LIME JUICE, AND CLEAN
HANDS.
WATERMELON IS A MISSION TO CUT.
SO, ASK AN ADULT TO CUT ONE IN
HALF FOR YOU.
LIKE THAT!
SCOOP OUT THE INSIDES OF ONE
HALF.
She scoops out the watermelon half.
She says, OKAY, DONE.
THIS EMPTY HALF IS GONNA BE OUR
BOWL.
HOW BOUGIE.
NOW, LET'S BLEND OUR WATERMELON
WITH OUR YOGHURT.
ABOUT THREE SCOOPS.
SOME HONEY AND OUR LIME JUICE.
NOW, LET'S POP THE LID ON.

WATERMELON.

CREAM IS FROZEN, LET'S PLATE IT.
HOW GOOD IS THIS GONNA BE ON A
HOT DAY?
The watermelon ice cream bowl spins around.
Sahara says, IT LOOKS SO GOOD.
NOW, TO TRY IT.
TWO OF SUMMER'S TASTIEST TREATS
TOGETHER AT LAST.
AND THE BEST THING IS, THERE'S
ENOUGH FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.

YOU'RE WET FROM A SWIM.
IT STOPS YOUR BUTT FROM GETTING
SANDY WHEN YOU SIT ON THE BEACH.
CAN THE INVENTION OF THE AMAZING
BEACH TOWEL GET ANY BETTER?
WHY YES.
YES, IT CAN.
Sunglasses sit on top of a lobster towel pillow. Sea creature toys are scattered across a striped towel. Text reads, Beach Towel Upgrade.
Ashok says, HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED -
A SMALL PILLOW, TWO BEACH
TOWELS, AND A LOW-TEMPERATURE
GLUE GUN, AND A HANDY ADULT
'CAUSE THIS THING CAN GET HOT.
Text reads, Adult Alert.
Ashok says, FIRST, GRAB ONE OF YOUR TOWELS
AND JUST LAY IT OUT.
THEN, MEASURE AND FOLD IT INTO
THIRDS.
THIS IS GONNA BE YOUR PILLOW
COVERING.
NOW, LET'S TRY TO SEE IF THE
PILLOW FITS.
YEP, IT'S THE PERFECT SIZE.
WE WILL JUST UNFOLD IT, PUT OUR
PILLOW TO THE SIDE, AND LET'S
START GLUING THE EDGES.
YOU WANT TO USE A FAIR PIT OF
GLUE, SO IT DOESN'T COME UNDONE.
NOW, WE WANT TO PRESS IT DOWN
NICE AND FIRM.
AND THEN, START ON THE OTHER
END.
Ashok applies glue to the other end of the towel.
Ashok says, PRESS IT NICE AND FIRMLY, SO IT
STICKS.
NOW, LET'S GLUE THIS FLAP ON
TOP.
Ashok folds the flap over and applies more glue.
He says, PRESS NICE AND FIRMLY.
NOW, YOU'VE GOT A PILLOWCASE.
LET'S ATTACH OUR TOWELS
TOGETHER.
GRAB THIS TOWEL, PUT IT TO THE
SIDE, UNFOLD THIS TOWEL.
I'LL JUST PUT A BIG LONG STRIP
OF GLUE DOWN, SO I CAN ATTACH
OUR PILLOW CASE TO OUR BIG
TOWEL.
PUSH DOWN THE GLUE.
NOW, ONCE YOU'VE FINISHED WITH
THAT, WE CAN ADD OUR PILLOW.
Ashok puts the pillow into the pillow case.
LET'S TEST TO SEE IF THIS WORKS.
Ashok lies on the pillow.
Ashok says, OH!
THIS IS NOT A TOWEL.
Ashok puts on his sunglasses.
He says, IT'S A "WOWEL".

JUST WHAT YOU NEED ON A HOT DAY!
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW IT'S DONE.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED -
TWO CUPS, ONE CLEAR, ONE NOT,
ICE, WATER, AND A SPONGE.
LIKE A LOT OF MAGIC, THIS ONE IS
SUPER EASY TO DO...
IF YOU KNOW HOW.
FIRST UP, YOU PUT YOUR SPONGE IN
A CUP - THE ONE THAT YOU CAN'T
SEE THROUGH, OBVIOUSLY.
AND JUST POUR YOUR ICE INTO IT.
JUST A LITTLE BIT.
POP SOME WATER INTO THE
SEE-THROUGH CUP.
YOU CAN HAVE THIS CUP AND SELL
IT BY GOING, "OH, MM-MM, SUPER
YUMMY."
AND WHEN YOU POUR THE WATER
IN...
Cooper pours the water into the red plastic cup.
He continues, THE SPONGE IN IT ACTUALLY
ABSORBS THE WATER, SO WHEN YOU
TIP IT BACK OUT...
Cooper pours the ice out of the red plastic cup.
Cooper says, ...IT LEAVES YOU WITH A REALLY
FOOLING TRICK.
AND YOU CAN TIP IT UPSIDE-DOWN
TO REALLY SHOW THERE'S NO MORE
DRIPS.
