# Squiggling! #

Hello, everyone. Squiglet here.

I'm pretending to be someone royal.

A king! But not just an ordinary king -

I'm a very merry one - Old King Cole!

Shall we squiggle Old King Cole?

What sort of line could we use?

Let's have a look.

It's a zigzag line!

Have you got your Squiggle Pads... and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Now it's time to get squiggling.

We'll need a zigzag line for the top of Old King Cole's crown.

I LOVE zigzag lines. Squiggle one with me.

Up...

then zig...zag...

zig...zag...

zig...zag...

and down.

What's yours like?

Up...

zig...zag...

zig...zag...

zig...zag...

and down to make a crown.

Then we need two round lines, for jewels on top of the crown.

Now another round line for Old King Cole's head.

Round...and round.

Let's give him a face.

Two eyes...

a nose...

..a royal moustache...

...and a smiley mouth.

Oh, and ears.

One,

two.

Let's give him a royal chain.

Now we'll need some straight lines for his body.

Down, across and up,

two arms with wiggly fingers.

One...

..two.

Two feet.

One...

..two.

And last of all, a royal cloak.

There's Old King Cole!

Shall we meet him?

Say the magic words with me.

One, two, three, four, five,

let's make our squiggles come alive!

Hello! I'm Old King Cole!

Have you heard the rhyme about me?

Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he.

He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl

And he called for his fiddlers three.

Fiddlers? Do they play violins?

Yes! That's it! I play concerts with my three fiddlers.

The fiddle and I play my pipe.

It's no wonder you're such a merry king!

It must be all that music!

Well, usually.

but I'm supposed to be playing my pipe at the queen's birthday concert

and I can't get a note out of it!

Maybe I can help. Where is this pipe of yours?

Er...I left it on my throne!

Well, let's have a look!

Have you got your Squiggle Pads and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Let's get squiggling!

We can use our zigzag line again

to squiggle the pointy top of Old King Cole's throne.

Ready?

Up...

zig...zag...

zig...zag...

down and across.

That's the top of the throne.

Now, some straight lines for the back.

Down...

..and down.

And some more straight lines for the legs.

Down, across and up.

And another one here.

And some round lines on the top.

One...

..two.

We need a curved line for the top of the seat.

And a straight line underneath.

And there's our throne!

Why don't you colour yours in while I squiggle the rest of the palace?

This is my throne, all right.

And here's my pipe!

SPLUTTERS

But see, I can't get a note out of it.

My fiddlers three seem to be missing, too!

And the queen's concert is any minute!

You just need a bit more strength to play your pipe, Old King Cole!

Maybe you should eat something.

What about a nice boiled egg?

Oh, yes! That sounds good!

Then we'll squiggle you one.

Have you got your Squiggle Pads... and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Let's get squiggling!

Let's all squiggle a boiled egg. We can use our zigzag line again

for the broken top of the egg.

Ready?

Up...

zig...zag...

zig...zag...

zig...zag...

down.

Then we need a curved line for the rest of our egg.

Go down and around.

And a straight line to show where the egg cup is.

Then one more curved line...

and a straight line to make the bottom part of the egg cup.

I'm going to colour my egg cup in blue.

What colour are you going to make yours?

Finished. There's our boiled egg.

Ooh, thank you, everyone!

Oh, yum, yum!

Mm.

There's still no sign of my fiddlers three.

But I'm ready to have another go on my pipe.

SPLUTTERS

Oh. It's no use. I still can't get a note out of it.

Hm. I wonder why.

I know! I haven't done my exercises today.

Oh, yes! That'll give you more strength to play your pipe.

-I'm off to the gym right now.

-Come on, let's do our exercises, too.

I hope this works, Squiglet.

The queen loves her birthday concert.

Shall we do some exercises with Old King Cole?

Let's start with some royal stretches.

First you stretch up, then bend down and touch your toes.

Up, down.

Then you wiggle your fingers and turn around.

Oh, that was fun!

I MUST have enough strength to play my pipe now!

I'm off to the concert hall.

-Maybe my fiddlers three will be there.

-Let's go along and find out!

Oh, dear!

There's still no sign of my fiddlers three.

Never mind, Old King Cole.

You can still play a lovely birthday tune for the queen on your pipe.

That's true!

SPLUTTERS

Oh!

I just can't do it! But I HAVE to play for the queen.

If only there was an instrument I didn't have to blow.

Don't worry. Let's see if we can get a clue from the Squiggle Pad.

Can you spot an instrument that Old King Cole doesn't need to blow?

Olivia and Dylan are showing their friends how to play

this funny-looking instrument.

It's called a concertina.

To make the sounds, they squeeze it in and out,

in and out,

and that makes the music.

Did you spot a way for Old King Cole to make music without blowing?

Ah! The concertina!

You don't need to blow that at all!

Oh. I wish I had a concertina.

No problem. We can squiggle you one.

Have you got your Squiggle Pads... and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Let's get squiggling!

We'll need some more zigzag lines to squiggle a concertina.

Ready?

Zig...zag...

zig...zag...

zig...zag.

There's the top.

Now for the bottom.

Zig...zag...

zig...zag...

zig...zag.

Now some straight lines in the middle.

Like this.

We need some more straight lines to make the sides.

Down...

across...

up and across.

And the same on the other side.

Then just two curved lines for the handles.

One...

..two.

I'm going to colour mine in blue and red.

What colour are you going to make yours?

There. Once concertina.

HE CHUCKLES Thank you, everyone.

Let's try it out.

CONCERTINA PLAYS

Oh! Look!

Oh-ho!

It's my fiddlers three!

They must have fallen asleep in your pipe!

No wonder you couldn't get a note out of it!

-That tune you're playing woke us!

-Maybe you can play your pipe now!

Oh, yes! Let me try.

PIPE PLAYS

ALL: Hooray!

Hello, everyone. Is it time for my birthday concert?

Yes, my dear. We haven't had much time to practise.

But my pipe is working now!

Why don't you play along with us on the concertina?

I don't mind if I do!

Join in with our song!

But come back to get squiggling soon.

Keep on squiggling!
