Let’s Make A Humpback Whale

Among the many radnesses that comprises Barrel of Monkeys is the rad of CHALLENGE.
Last night, at the first rehearsal of the Columbia Explorers show, we read a story about a kid whose birthday party gets crashed by ... A HUMPBACK WHALE.
All I could think of (as I giggled uncontrollably on the Loyola Park floor, tears streaming) was the actual size of a humpback whale. It’s like this:
But how can we do that in a school show? How could there possibly be anything THAT HUGE that we could feasibly 1) find 2) buy 3) transport to the school in a car?
Oh the challenge.
Oh the image of a kitchen that is completely filled, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling, with a mammoth, fishy-smelling, glistening blubbery humpback whale… and a birthday girl. .
Looks like someone somewhere did this:
A mammoth whale made of garbage bags and duct tape? Sounds like a Barrel of Monkeys project to me! Stay tuned, dear readers! This challenge is about to get whapped in the face with a whale fin!
