Your sentence is quite good, but I will help make a few small improvements for grammar and clarity. Here's your original sentence:

Rainforests in Asia are made of thick and vibrant plants. Playful monkeys easily swing from vine to vine, and a python hangs still after a big meal.

Corrections and explanations:

  • Instead of "made of thick and vibrant plants," it's better to say "full of thick and vibrant plants" because forests are made up of many things, not just plants.
  • The rest of the sentence is good, but we can improve clarity by splitting it or adding commas if needed.

Here is a corrected version:

Rainforests in Asia are full of thick and vibrant plants. Playful monkeys easily swing from vine to vine, and a python hangs still after a big meal.

This version sounds natural and grammatically correct. Keep up the great work!

Here are a few friendly, simple options you can use or show to a 10-year-old reader, plus short explanations.

Corrected single-sentence version (simple): Rainforests in Asia are full of thick, green plants. Playful monkeys easily swing from vine to vine, and a python lies very still after a big meal.

Short paragraph (easy to read): In Asian rainforests, tall trees grow close together and make a green roof. The forest is full of thick, green plants. Playful monkeys swing from vine to vine, and sometimes you can see a python lying very still after it eats.

Why these changes?

  • Use "full of" instead of "made of" because a forest contains many things (trees, plants, animals), not only plants.
  • Put a comma between adjectives ("thick, green plants") to make the phrase clearer.
  • Split long ideas into two sentences so they are easier to read.
  • "Lies very still" sounds more natural for a python resting after a meal.
