This is truly a brainy cap because the various parts of the brain are marked on it. You will need paper, glue, colors, brush etc. Inflate a big balloon and stand it upright. Apply flour glue on pieces of newsprint and stick them on the balloon. You will need to stick 5-6 layers of newspapers to make a strong cap. This will be like papier-mâché and will make a strong cap. Towards the end cut and stick triangles of white paper. The outer layer should be white so that you can color it easily. Dry the cap in the sun for a few hours. Then make a couple of holes in the balloon to deflate. After removing the cap trim its edges and dry it for a little while more. Now it will look like a stiff helmet. Then mark and color various lobes of the brain. The green ones are the frontal lobes; the blue ones are the temporal lobes. On the back are the yellow occipital lobes; and the red ones are the parietal lobes. You can make this brain cap using very simple materials. This work was supported by IUCAA and Tata Trust.
