If A Job's Worth Doing Iconicles

# Let me take you to a world that I've seen

# My best invention the Iconi-Screen

# They're friends and animals The Iconicles

# So come along with me and I'll tell you more... #

# Iconicles

# There's Rumple and Miss Moo Splish and Splash and Skitter too

# I'll show you their worlds The Iconicles

# I just can't wait for you to meet them all... #

Ho-ho!

# Iconicles

# Iconicles. #

Another box. Brilliant.

Oh! Hi, there.

I'm just checking out some of the things I've made over the years.

I've had great fun making all of these.

Can you guess what this is for? Whisking? Dusting?

Actually, I made it to be a cobweb catcher.

I've got a brilliant cobweb collection

thanks to this little beauty.

You know, there's still one invention

I'm particularly proud of - my Iconi-Screen.

# With a wave of my hands Let's explore

# Wonderful lands never seen before

# The Iconi-Screen My most amazing machine

# The I, I-I, Iconi-Screen

# Wild wilderness Around the garden bench

# Down on the farm and by the Water's Edge

# Guess which Iconicle is coming to play

# Can you guess which world we'll visit today? #

Now, this is where the fun really begins.

It might be fun to make something with somebody else.

Maybe Miss Moo. Splish and Splash, perhaps.

Hmm. Who to choose?

Aha! Skitter's almost as curious as I am about everything.

He'll be perfect.

Ha-ha-ha! Wahey!

Ha-hey. Wahey! Whee!

Wahey!

Ha-ha-ha-ho! Whoa!

Good to see you, Skitter.

Good, good, good to see you too, Nat. So, what have you been... Ooh!

Ooh! Boxes! Wahee!

Wa-ha-hey!

What are these? Ooh, what are those?

Hey, oh, what's that?

-Ooh, what's this?

-Just a few things I've made over the years.

Things you've made?

-Wow!

-I must investigate.

Hop! Woo! Ooh, wow!

-Skitter, come out of there.

-Ooh-hoo!

-I've got something to ask you.

-Ta-da!

-Skitter?

-Ooh, yeah!

-I thought you might like to help me

use a few of these bits and pieces to make something brand new.

Wahey!

Help you? Make something new?

-I'd love to. Wahoo!

-Excellent.

But what shall we make?

Oh, maybe something for my friend, Fetch.

He'd love a bone finder.

But Fetch already has a perfect bone finder -

his wet doggy nose.

Oh, that's true. How about Tippy?

She would just love an automatic cat fur washer.

But Tippy already has a perfect fur washer...

-her catty tongue. Purrrr!

-Ha-ha-ha! Of course!

We don't have to make something brand new.

We could improve on something we already have.

Ooh, interesting. What have you got, Nat?

-Well...

-Ooh!

Ooh!

Er...

Look, I made this to help me toss perfect pancakes every time.

Aha!

Check this out, Skitter.

Ah, that is brilliant. So, how shall we improve it?

Perhaps seeing what our friends are up to might help inspire us.

Yes, yes, yes. Sounds good to me.

Ah, there's Scotty.

Hey, maybe we could make him a parachute to help him land.

He's always crash landing. I wonder where he's flying to.

Tail feathers up, landing gear down

and make final approach for another perfect touch-dooown!

Ooh! Aah! Whoops! Whoa!

Oof!

Who put those shells there?

Ooh! Hey! What's going on?

-CARMEN CLICKS THE SHELLS

-Oh, no, no, no. Too clacky.

Hup!

Oops! Buenos dias, Senorita Starfish!

-CASTANETS CLICK

-Ah! Perfect.

Ahem!

Ola, Scotty!

Carmen. I'd like a word, please. About your shells.

Ah, good, no?

In a word, NO!

He-he-he! Juggle a go-go! Salty seal, king of seaweed juggling.

Off the tail. He-he-he!

Off flipper, hup!

Whoops! Off target.

Everywhere I look there are broken shells, driftwood and... Urgh!

He-he! Seaweed?

Exactly.

Waheeey! Scotty! The dudester! Good to see you.

Brrrah! See me? With all this mess, I'm surprised you can see anything.

Huh?

Carmen, have you anything we can use

to make our snowcastle look supercool, please?

It's the best snowcastle ever.

-Sure is.

-Excelente!

But just look at the mess. No, no, it's not just a mess.

No, it's a mess and a half, and something must be...

WILL be done about it.

What are you going to do, snow buddy?

I... Me?! I'm not the one who made the mess.

You lot are. But I will be the one to make sure you tidy it up.

Properly.

-Ai!

-Hmm.

-Hmm.

-Yeah.

Hm! Has our peep at the Water's Edge inspired you to think of

what to make, Skitter?

Well, everyone has lots of tidying up to do.

So, why don't we make something to help them?

Like the giant super-sucky thing you use to clean this place, Nat.

Ah! I'm not sure how much help a vacuum cleaner would be.

The snow would probably bung it up.

True, true, true. Can we have another look at the Water's Edge

to help give us some ideas, Nat?

Sounds good to me.

-Now, a tidy beach is a happy beach, yes?

-Si!

I think it would be a jolly good idea,

if we all, that means you two as well, tidy up our own mess.

But couldn't I start tomorrow?

There are some wicked waves due for a surfer to ride.

-And we want to finish our snowcastle.

-Before it melts.

And my dance class starts soon.

I don't want to miss out on my... # Tra-la-la

# Singing practise

# Tra-la-la... #

Oh! To tidy up shells.

No snowcastles, no surfing,

and no... Hup!

..singing or dancing until the beach is clean.

It's now or never.

Scotty is right. The sooner we finish tidying,

the sooner we can do what we really want.

We did make the mess.

-Exactly. So, Salty is on seaweed.

-I'm on it!

-Carmen is on shells.

-Si, Scotty! Shells.

And Splish and Splash are on beach tidying duty.

-Oh, OK.

-I'll be finished first.

-Oh, no, you won't.

Hmm. While I attend to tidying my burrow.

Ah, dude. This is going to take forever.

Where's a seal supposed to put this?

Ah! Back where I found it.

Ta-da!

Job done.

Now, to catch myself a wave and...

Oh. Hey! I thought you were my wave buddy.

Not more seaweed.

Ai, ai, ai! So many shells, so little space.

Aha! Quick, quick. No time for slow.

# That pretty little cave She will serve me well

# To tidy away my teeny-weeny little shells... #

Ha-ha-ha!

He-he-he!

There. All tidied up.

Now we can play.

But Splish, we can't just leave all this here.

Hey, we could bury it. Like pirates.

I think pirates bury treasure,

not rubbish, Splish.

So, you always said we were rubbish pirates. Now we can be!

He-he! Sounds good to me, shipmate.

-Ice.

-Rocks.

-Driftwood.

-Shells.

-Seaweed.

-Snow.

BOTH: Yo-ho-ho! He-he!

Job done, Captain Splash.

Not quite, Captain Splish.

Uh-oh.

Ai! What's happened?

Look at the beach!

This is not looking good, snow buddies.

At least my shells are tidied away.

Oh, my! What are we going to do now?

I was just about to ask the same question.

What are you going to do?

It's even messier than before.

Did that help you think of anything to make, Skitter?

No, I can never think on an empty stomach.

Can we have lunch first?

I'll see if I can find you something...to nibble on.

-Oh, nothing in here.

-Ah!

-Or here.

-Hmm.

What can we have?

BOTH: Nuts!

Wahey!

Got them!

Walnuts and brazil nuts. Two of my favourites.

Oh! Ooh! He-he-he!

I hope you like them too.

Ha-hoo! Wa-ha-hoo!

SKITTER MUNCHES

Mmm, mmm!

I won't be able to open that with my teeth.

-WITH FULL MOUTH:

-I can open them for you, Nat.

Thanks, but you're not always here, Skitter.

I wish I could open these nuts by myself.

That's it. I know what we can make!

A Nat nutcracker!

Brilliant. That's something I really, really need.

-SCOTTY:

-Wait! Brrr!

Wait, what's that?

Let's see what's happening at the beach.

I put my shells in the cave and then they just fell out, and...

I collected seaweed, but it didn't want to leave.

It kept coming back, and back, and...

Wait! Stop, quiet, please.

I see exactly what has happened.

No need to explain.

You were all more interested in getting your tidying done quickly

rather than done properly. Isn't that true?

Well, we did rush a bit.

And I wanted to catch a wave and go surfing.

Si! You are right, Scotty.

We made a big mess.

Now this time, if you focus on doing things properly,

you won't make a mess or miss out on anything. OK?

ALL: OK.

And remember, if a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well, what?

Ai, ai, ai! So many shells, such a pretty little cave.

Pretty, yes. And with a little Carmen magic, it could be beautiful.

All it needs is some imagination and a few of these.

I look forward to seeing it when it's finished.

Imagination. Si!

I wish we could have finished our snow castle.

THUMP! Oh, no! More mess.

Huuup!

You know, these remind me of you two.

BOTH: We're not rubbish!

Ha-ha-ha!

One works better with the other. Together they are stronger.

Maybe finishing the snowcastle

would help solve your litter problem, too.

-How?

-That's up to you two.

I look forward to seeing what you MAKE of it all.

Make? Of course! We need to use everything

-to make the castle bigger, better and stronger.

-Cool!

What am I going to do with all this?

-Oop!

-I didn't know seaweed came in so many colours.

I'm sure the rock pool will look a picture when you're done, Salty.

A picture, yeah.

Hey, I've just had a brilliant idea! Instead of throwing this away,

I could turn it into something totally awesome.

Put that one there, that's it. Yeah.

I'm sure you will. Now, for me to finish tidying my burrow.

Hup! Ooh!

Hup!

Brrrr! Hup! Hup!

Mmm-hmmm! Move another here!

Perfecto! All done.

BOTH: Finished.

Not bad, Salty. Not bad.

Ah! Clean as a whistle.

Not a shell in sight. Hmm?

Well, I never.

Congratulations to everyone. You've all done a first-rate job.

As I said, if a job's worth doing, it's...

Er, Scotty?

What? What is it?

-Who made all the mess?

-THEY GASP

Ah. Oh, dear. I think you'll find that was...me.

Erm, you see, burrow making is, well... It's sort of, erm...

A messy business?

Quite. Sorry.

No worries, snow buddy. We'll help you tidy it.

Yeah, we're the best at tidying.

-As you say, if a job is worth doing...

-It's worth doing well.

-OK, I'll get those shells.

-You come to me.

-Good good.

-Oh, yes, come on everybody.

-I'll put this here.

-Marvellous.

-OK?

-I'll get the seaweed as well.

-Well done.

-Thanks, Carmen.

Ha-ha-ha! Oh, dear, oh, dear.

I can't believe Scotty made more of a mess than the others.

GAMES ALARM

Oh, oh! Game time!

Who, what, when, where, why! And you can play too.

Time starts now.

Question one - who was throwing shells at Scotty's burrow?

Oh, I know, I know! It was Carmen.

Sounds good to me. What do you think?

Let's have a look-see, shall we?

Who put those shells there?

Ooh! Hey, what's going on?

Oh! No, no, no. Too clacky.

Hup!

-Well done, Skitter.

-Yes, yes, yes!

OK, next question.

What did Salty want to do instead of tidying?

Hmm. Can you remember?

I don't know. Hold on. He wanted to surf some waves.

So, I think it would be a jolly good idea if we all,

that means you two as well, tidy up our own mess.

Couldn't I start tomorrow?

There are some wicked waves due for a surfer to ride.

Yes!

Yes!

OK, time for one more.

Where did Splish and Splash use up all their beach junk?

Oh, ooh. Was it, er... making their amazing snowcastle?

Good answer, and just in the nick of time.

Let's find out if it's right.

Make? Of course!

We need to use everything to make the castle bigger, better and stronger.

Cool!

Yes! Well done, Skitter.

Wahee! Nutty-tastic!

And how did you do?

OK. We need to find some bits and pieces to make our nutcracker.

Hey, what about looking in the boxes?

OK, let's get cracking.

Ha-ha-ha! Whoa! Ha-ha!

Ho-ho! Ooh, oooh!

Hm-hmm-hmmm.

Doo-da-doo.

Hup! Ooh, yeah! Wahoo!

Da-da! Ha-ha!

Ooh, yeah.

Ha-ha-ha!

OK, and I'll need this, and... Ooh, this.

-Ooh, he-he-he!

-I'll attach this thingy on to that whatsit.

He-he-he!

And then screw this thingy on to there.

And now stick that thingummy on top of that.

And now attach that thingummy on top of that!

Ah! Oh!

Ta-da!

Skitter, this nutcracker is something we can both be proud of,

-and all that's left to do is test it out.

-Ho-ho!

Nuts, nuts, nuts! I can't wait! Wahoo!

Ooh, can I turn it on? Please, please?

Be my guest, Skitter.

Wahahee! Ha-ha!

WHIRRING AND CRUNCHING

Ha-ha-ha!

Oh. Oh, well. Not to worry.

Everything we make can't always work first time.

What do you mean, Nat? It worked perfectly.

Oh, wow!

Wa-ha-hey!

MUNCHING

Mmm-mmm!

This place is as untidy as Scotty's burrow, now.

Oh, I would help you tidy,

but I think I need to get home and sleep off my nutty lunch.

OK, Skitter, you've earned a break.

Thanks for helping me invent something. And for lunch, of course.

See, see, see you later, Nat! Wahey!

-Bye, Skitter.

-Ha-ha! Bye, Nat!

Wa-ha-hey!

Ah, now, before I have my lunch I have one last job to do -

tidy up!

See you again soon. Bye!
