Giant Get Squiggling

# My name is Squiglet

# I love to draw

-# A dog

-(Woof-woof)

-# A cat

-(Miaow)

-# A mouse

-(Squeak)

# And a whole lot more

# So grab your Squiggle Pads

# And Squiggle Sticks

# And draw along with me

# It's fun when you get squiggling

# Squiggling! #

Hello, everyone! Squiglet here.

Oh!

Oh! Oh! Wow!

Those are loud footsteps.

Someone must have very big feet.

Shall we squiggle them and see who they belong to?

What sort of line could we use?

Let's have a look.

It's a bumpy line.

Have you got your Squiggle Pads and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Now it's time to get squiggling.

We can start with the toes of one of those big feet.

We need a bumpy line for that.

Bumpy lines are great.

Squiggle one with me.

Put your Squiggle Stick on your Squiggle Pad.

Five bumps for five toes.

Up and round...

up and round...

up and round...up and round...

and up and round.

What's your bumpy line like?

Up and round...

up and round...

up and round...

up and round...

and up and round.

Now for the rest of the foot.

Across...and up.

Last of all,

a big, long leg.

Why don't you colour yours in while I squiggle the other one?

Those are two very big feet.

Let's see who they belong to.

Say the magic words with me.

One, two, three, four, five,

let's make our squiggles come alive!

Hello down there!

I'm Hyacinth.

Pleased to meet you, Hyacinth.

I'm Squiglet.

It must be wonderful being so tall!

SHE SNIFFS

SPLASH!

Oh, Hyacinth, what's the matter?

It isn't wonderful being a giant at all.

You should see where I live, for a start.

A playroom full of toys.

A playroom full of toys?!

That sounds great.

Doesn't it?

Why don't we have a look?

Have you got your Squiggle Pads and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Let's get squiggling.

Let's all squiggle one of Hyacinth's toys.

What about a car?

We need a bumpy line for that.

Ready?

One bump - up...over...and round...

A bigger bump - round...and down.

And another smaller bump - round and down.

Let's draw a straight line underneath.

There.

That's the body of the car.

Then two curves for the wheels.

One...

..two...

Some straight lines for the windows.

One at the front...

and one at the back.

TOOT-TOOT!

Brrr-rrrm, brrr-rrrm, brr-rrrm!

What a great toy car.

TOOT!

Why don't you colour it in

while I squiggle the rest of Hyacinth's playroom?

That's my playroom.

This looks lovely, Hyacinth.

You've got lots of toys.

Yes...

So what's the matter?

-SHE SNIFFS

-Well, look around.

There's no-one here to play with.

Oh, I see.

-But there must be lots of children who'd like to play with you.

-No.

No-one in the village wants to.

Really?

Well, why don't we go there and see?

BOOM! BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Look, there are some children.

CHILDREN SHRIEK

Wait! Hyacinth just wants to play!

SQUIGLET SIGHS

See? They're scared of me.

If they spent some time with you,

they'd see how nice you are.

I know! Why don't we invite them to a picnic?

Oh! That's a great idea!

BOOM! BOOM!

SQUIGGLE LAUGHS

We could use my hanky as a picnic blanket.

Oh?

-Oh!

-Yeah.

Oh, but we don't have any food to put on it.

Don't worry.

We can squiggle some.

Have you got your Squiggle Pads and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Let's get squiggling!

Let's all squiggle a giant cake.

Remember that bumpy line?

We can squiggle another for the icing.

Ready?

Up...and down...

Up...and down...

and all the way over the top

to make a big curve.

That's the icing on our cake.

We need some straight lines for the rest of the cake -

two for the sides...

..and one for the bottom.

Last of all, let's put a round cherry on the top.

What colour is your icing going to be?

You can colour it in while I squiggle the rest of the food.

There! Doesn't it look delicious?

Oh, goodness, everyone. The children will love this.

LAUGHTER

Here they come. I'd better hide.

BOOM! BOOM!

Hello there.

I'm Squiglet.

Hello, Squiglet.

Oh, look! A picnic!

And everything's huge!

Oh! This apple's as big as my head.

And this jelly's like a bouncy castle.

These buns are as big as cushions!

But much tastier!

I wonder who left it all here.

BOOM!

It was a present from me!

CHILDREN GASP

Wait! Hyacinth only wanted to have a picnic with you.

Oh... They're all still scared of me.

I'm sure there must be some game they can play with you.

But what?

Let's see if we can get a clue from the Squiggle Pad.

Playgrounds are fun.

You can go on the swings and the slide.

Up the steps to the top...

..then...whee!...down to the bottom.

Whee!

Here I come!

Whee!

They looked like they were having fun.

I'd love to play on the swings and slide,

but I'm too big.

Poor Hyacinth.

Wait! I've got an idea.

The slide!

Let's all squiggle a nice big bumpy one!

We can use a bumpy line again.

Have you got your Squiggle Pads and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Let's get squiggling.

Let's start at the top of the slide.

Ready?

Round and down...

round and down...

round and down...to the bottom.

That's the bit you slide down.

And now some straight lines.

Here.

Here.

Here.

Here.

I'm going to make mine yellow.

What colour are you going to make yours?

That's it.

One bumpy slide!

Oh! It's a very nice slide.

Thanks, everyone.

But how will it stop the children being afraid of me?

You'll see!

Come on!

BOOM! BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Oh! Here come the children. I'll hide quickly.

Hello, Squiglet.

Wow! A slide!

But there aren't any steps. How do we get up?

Easy. My friend can lift you to the top.

Who'd be big enough to do that?

I'll show you if you promise not to be nervous.

OK, then.

Hyacinth!

Hello.

THEY GASP

Um...I'd like to go on the slide, please.

Of course.

Ohh.

Whee-ee-ee!

That looks like fun.

It is! It's brilliant!

-Ohh...

-Ohh...

Hello. Would you like a go, too?

BOTH: Yes, please.

ALL: Whee-ee-ee!

Look at that. Hyacinth has lots of friends now.

It's fun being a giant after all!

Why don't we all be giants?

Join in with our song.

# Can you jump a river in a single bound?

# Can you see the countryside for miles around?

# You're a giant

# You're a giant

# Do you roar when you snore? Do you shake the floor?

# You're a great big giant

# Try and be a giant with great big feet

# Bend down and say hello to everyone you meet

# You're a giant

# You're a giant

# Do you roar when you snore? Do you shake the floor?

# You're a great big giant

# You're a giant

# Oooh, baa-baa

# You're a giant

# Oooh, baa-baa

# Do you roar when you snore? Do you shake the floor?

# You're a great big giant. #

That was a giant-sized adventure!

Thanks for all your squiggles.

It's time to go now,

but come back to get squiggling soon.

Keep on squiggling!

ALL: Bye!
