Hello, everyone. Squiglet here.

Can you guess who I'm pretending to be?

FISHING ROD REEL WHIRS

I'm fishing in a garden pond.

I'm small and I keep very still.

I'm a garden gnome!

Shall we squiggle our own gnome?

What sort of line could we use? Let's have a look.

It's a round line.

Have you got your Squiggle Pads...

and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Now it's time to get squiggling!

Let's start with the pom-pom on the end of our gnome's hat.

We'll need a round line for that.

Round lines are great! Squiggle one with me.

Round and round.

What's yours like?

Round and round.

Now let's squiggle the rest of the hat.

Curve down, straight across and curve back up.

Next, we need a curved line for our gnome's head.

Curve down...and round.

Two eyes. One, two.

A curved nose.

A big smiley mouth.

And two little gnomish ears.

and a bumpy line to give our gnome a beard.

Bump, bump, bump, bump,

all the way round.

Some straight lines for his body.

Two arms with wiggly fingers.

One.

Two.

And some boots.

One.

Two.

Last of all, a gnome needs a fishing rod.

Two straight lines all the way up.

And join them together.

then one more straight line for the fishing line,

with a curve at the end for the hook.

And there's our gnome! Shall we meet him?

Say the magic words with me.

One, two, three, four, five,

let's make our squiggles come alive!

Oh, hello. I'm Norman, the garden gnome.

Hello, Norman. I'm Squiglet.

-It must be nice sitting and fishing in a garden all day.

-Ah.

No, I'm a bit fed up. I wish I could have an adventure.

Maybe we can help! Where do you live, Norman?

-In a toadstool.

-We'd like to see that, wouldn't we?

Let's squiggle Norman's toadstool for him.

Have you got your Squiggle Pads...

and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Let's get squiggling!

We'll start with the curve of our toadstool.

Ready?

Curve up, over and down.

With a straight line underneath.

Now for the toadstool spots.

We can use our round line again.

Round...

and round.

Round...

and round.

I'm making the spots all different sizes.

There. Let's squiggle the stalk.

Curve down,

straight across,

and curve back up.

And last of all, a door, so Norman can get in.

Finished. One toadstool.

Why don't you colour yours in

while I squiggle the rest of Norman's garden.

See? This is what I do every day.

Just sit on this toadstool and fish in this pond.

I'd really like an adventure!

Maybe there's an adventure quite close by.

Oh, an adventure close by would be perfect

because I need to be back by tea time.

It's my favourite today - pancakes!

Then we'd better start looking for an adventure right away.

Oh, look! Do you know what that is?

A rainbow!

Oh, yes! And a rainbow's just the place to have an adventure.

Why's that, Norman?

Because gnomes sometimes bury a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

Finding a pot of gold would be a brilliant adventure!

Exactly! And getting to the end of that rainbow shouldn't take long

so I'll be back in time for my pancakes!

All we have to do is get over those garden fences.

Pot of gold, here I come!

Whoa! Ahh!

Oh, no!

Oh, dear!

I wonder what's happened to Norman. Come on, let's go and see.

Where's Norman gone?

Get me out of here!

He's in the compost heap!

Pooh-ee!

SQUELCHING

Oh, dear. Gnomes are only little.

It's going to take me AGES to get over all those garden fences.

Especially if I keep falling in compost heaps.

Yes. That'll definitely slow you down.

Oh. I would like to find that pot of gold.

Maybe this adventure isn't right for me.

Don't worry, Norman. I've had an idea.

Going OVER the fences might take ages,

but what about digging UNDER them instead?

Yes! But what am I going to dig WITH?

We can squiggle you something just the right size for a gnome -

a trowel.

Have you got your Squiggle Pads...

and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Let's get squiggling!

We can use our round line again, for the top of the trowel's handle.

Ready?

Round...

and round.

We need some straight lines for the rest of the handle.

Down to a point and then back up again.

Let's squiggle the digging part.

Straight line across.

Then curve down, around,

and up.

I'm going to colour my trowel in yellow and blue.

What colour are you going to make yours?

Finished. One trowel.

Thanks, everyone. Now I'm ready to dig, dig, dig!

Ooh, ooh. Oh!

-It's a mole!

-Sorry, Mrs Mole. We didn't mean to surprise you.

Oh, that's all right. I was digging my tunnel to this garden anyway.

Where's the other end of your tunnel?

Oh, it comes out over there somewhere.

By the end of that rainbow.

THEY GASP BOTH: The end of the rainbow?

Yes. Pretty much.

Oh, Mr Mole, would you mind if Squiglet and I

-took a trip through your tunnel?

-Not at all. Please do.

Ooh! Ooh, what an adventure!

Come on!

Oh-ho! We've done it, Squiglet! It's the end of the rainbow!

Now where's that pot of gold?

Ooh!

Do you think that might be it?

Oh, look at this box!

The pot of gold must be inside!

RATTLING

Oh! It won't open!

Now what? It's nearly tea time. I'll need to be back for my pancakes soon!

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

Can you spot something Norman can use to open the box?

These children are opening things that are locked.

They're using keys.

Every key has a different shape.

So when you turn the right key in the right lock,

it opens!

Did you spot an anything Norman could use to open the box?

Oh! A key! We need a key to open the box and get to the pot of gold.

But there isn't a key here!

No problem. We can squiggle one for you.

Have you got your Squiggle Pads...

and Squiggle Sticks ready?

Let's get squiggling!

We'll need a round line to make the end of the key.

Ready?

Round...

and round...

to make a circle.

We need a smaller round line inside.

Now the part that goes in the keyhole.

A straight line across,

up and back across.

And last of all, a zigzag line across the top.

Zig...zag...

zig...zag...

zig...zag...

zig...zag...

zig...zag.

Done!

I'm going to colour my key orange.

What colour are you going to make yours?

There. One key.

Ho-ho! Thanks, everyone!

Do you think it'll fit?

Yes! It does!

Oh, and look! A pot!

Ooh. There's definitely something golden inside.

SQUELCHING

But what kind of gold moves like that?

Golden honey! That's what! This is the perfect kind of gold -

the kind that goes best on pancakes!

Would you like to come and have some?

Yes, please! But we've still got a few minutes before tea time.

Just long enough for you to join in with our song.

# How do I get to the end of the rainbow?

# The rainbow just down the road

# How do I get to the end of the rainbow

# To find my pot of gold?

# I jump, jump, jump To the end of the rainbow

# Jump, jump, jump To the end of the rainbow

# Jump, jump, jump To the end of the rainbow

# To find the pot of gold

# How do I get to the end of the rainbow?

# The rainbow just down the road

# How do I get to the end of the rainbow

# To find my pot of gold?

# I dig, dig, dig To the end of the rainbow

# Dig, dig, dig To the end of the rainbow

# Dig, dig, dig To the end of the rainbow

# To find the pot of gold

# To find the pot of gold. #

Oh-ho, hee-hee!

Having an adventure is fun!

Thanks for all your squiggles! It's time to go now.

But come back to get squiggling soon. Keep on squiggling!

BOTH: Bye!
