0:01:26 > 0:01:28Let's have a look around.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Wow! Look at all the Christmas decorations in this shop window.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Beautiful!
0:01:41 > 0:01:44And they've just given me a great idea!
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Let's try something!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Try making surprise sock stockings,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52the perfect picture for Christmas time.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Let's make it!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57We'll need a mini maker to help us.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Let's see if there's one nearby.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Beep! Beep!
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Happy Christmas, mini makers! Who's going to help me today?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- Hello, Mr Maker. I'm Bongra. - Hello, Bongra.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- I can help you. - Oh, that's great news!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Everyone else, we'll see you soon.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Bongra, let's get making!
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Beep!
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Fantastic news. Bongra is on his way to help us make our picture.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25But first, we need somewhere to make it.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Excellent! The marvellous maker case
0:02:32 > 0:02:35has become a marvellous making table.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Now we just need some arty things to make our picture.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40We'll need...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42some coloured paper or card.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Some scissors and a hole punch.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Some glittery pipe cleaners, a glue stick.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Some old clean socks.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Some toys that you might find in a Christmas cracker.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Parp!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14And we need one more thing. That's right,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17we need Brussels sprouts!
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Brussels sprouts?! We don't need Brussels sprouts.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Scraps, how did you get here?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Oh, I see. Well, Happy Christmas!
0:03:29 > 0:03:33We don't need these sprouts now. We need them for Christmas dinner.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Open up. That's it. And go and find me a pen.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Can't wait till Christmas dinner.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Well done, Scraps. That's just what we need.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Bye!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46We've got a pen!
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Excellent. We've got everything we need.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Although it does feel like something's missing.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Do you know what it is?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I'm here, Mr Maker. Happy Christmas!
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Happy Christmas, Bongra! Of course, it's you, my friend.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10You're here and just in time to help me make our picture.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14It's a surprise Christmas stocking picture.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Bongra, are you ready?- Yes.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Very good. Are you ready?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Fantastic. Let's get making!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25The first thing we're going to make are the brickwork pillars
0:04:25 > 0:04:29that stand either side of our fireplace.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32We'll make this with some coloured card.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Drawing bricks is very easy to do.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Draw long lines across your card
0:04:36 > 0:04:39and then short lines the other way.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Now we'll need some yellow and orange card.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Can you find some? Brilliant. I'll take the yellow card
0:04:46 > 0:04:48and you have the orange.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I'll draw a big yellow flame
0:04:51 > 0:04:54And you draw a smaller orange one.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Now, Bongra, we need to cut these shapes out very carefully
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- because scissors are...- Sharp! - Right!
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Everything's cut out. We've cut the brick pieces in half,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09and we've got a dark rectangle and two strips of paper.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Bongra, can I give you these pieces to look after, my friend?
0:05:13 > 0:05:19And I'm going to bring in this large piece of red paper.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22This is our background paper.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Put the dark rectangle in the middle
0:05:25 > 0:05:28with the brick pieces either side.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30A thin strip on top,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32the other one at the bottom.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34And then add the flames.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Now let's make some coal.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40For that, we need a hole punch.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Ask an adult to help you find and use one of these.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46I'll help you, Bongra.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Can you make some holes, please?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Great work. Look at that. Excellent work, Bongra.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Let's make even more to make a big pile of hole-punch coal.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Now we need some glittery pipe cleaners.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05These pipe cleaners look like tinsel!
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Bend them into shape.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Very nice!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Now we can add some stockings.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18What should we use for Christmas stockings?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Socks! Excellent. Well done. Good idea, Bongra.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Let's add our socks.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29When you're happy with the position of the pieces, glue everything down.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33And look, we've even added some toys into the stockings.
0:06:33 > 0:06:39Wait a minute! I had a party blower somewhere. Where is it?
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Parp!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Bongra!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Well done, my friend. You found it!
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Let's put that in. There we are, my friend! We've finished!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It's a surprise Christmas stocking picture.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57If you enjoyed that, why not try some other ideas, too?
0:06:57 > 0:07:02You could make a spotty sock stocking hanging from a red door.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Or you could even make lots of sock stockings
0:07:05 > 0:07:08hanging from the end of a bed.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Why not try one of those ideas today?
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Thank you so much for helping me, Bongra. We made it!
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- High five! Happy Christmas, my friend.- Happy Christmas!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20What a lovely Christmassy idea.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Well done, Bongra!
0:07:23 > 0:07:26The Houses of Parliament. What an amazing sight!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I didn't think I'd see that today.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31SQUEAKING
0:07:31 > 0:07:33What's that noise?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36It seems to be coming from the marvellous maker case.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Can you hear that?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40It's The Shapes!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44They're off on their journey around the world.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I am a shape!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I am a circle
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I am a triangle.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I am a square.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09I am a rectangle.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I am a shape.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I am a shape.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I am a shape.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I am a shape.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I am a circle.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47How many circles can you see?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48One...
0:08:48 > 0:08:50two...
0:08:51 > 0:08:53..three...
0:08:53 > 0:08:55four...
0:08:55 > 0:08:56five...
0:08:56 > 0:08:58six.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Yes, there are six circles.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Well done, shapes. It's time to get back in the marvellous maker case.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15It's the Queen's House. Buckingham Palace.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I wonder if anyone's at home?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I know. I'll knock on the door and find out.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- RINGING - Oh, it's the maker phone.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Oh, it's Tocky. Hello!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29It's minute make time in South Africa.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I'm on my way.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34It's minute make time.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55It's Christmas minute make time!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57CHEERING
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Quiet, please, Christmas choir. Quiet, please.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04# Deck the halls with boughs of holly
0:10:04 > 0:10:06# Tra-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la
0:10:06 > 0:10:09# Make a snowman with a stick from a lolly
0:10:09 > 0:10:11# La-la-la-la La-la-la-la
0:10:11 > 0:10:14That's right, Christmas choir, and mini makers.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Today, we're going to make this.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20It's a lolly stick snowman!
0:10:20 > 0:10:24And we can make one by using these arty things.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26We've got a lolly stick,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28some pieces of ribbon,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31a pen, a glue stick,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34some pieces of paper or card,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36some buttons
0:10:36 > 0:10:38and some scissors.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Do you think it's possible to make this lollypop stick snowman
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- in just one minute?- No way!
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I think I can. I'm going to have to be...
0:10:50 > 0:10:54..very quick. But don't worry. I'll remind you how to do it at the end.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Are you ready?- Yes!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Good. Are you ready?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Fantastic. Let's make it in a Christmas minute!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Three, two, one!- Start the clock!
0:11:05 > 0:11:10First, we'll get the lolly stick and put some glue on it at the top.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14That will help to stick on a loop of ribbon.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17This will help to hang it up later on.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Now get a piece of card and cut out a letter T shape.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Be careful with scissors because they are...
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Sharp!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I'm being very, very careful.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31There's our hat. Now put some more glue on.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34All over the lolly stick.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Then we can stick on our hat.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44We've got a scrap of lovely ribbon to make a nice scarf
0:11:44 > 0:11:46for our snowman.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50And some buttons. Let's stick those on.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52There's one. And two.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55And one more.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59This paper triangle will make a good carrot nose.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Last, we add some dots with a pen
0:12:02 > 0:12:06to make eyes and a mouth on our lolly stick snowman!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11I did it just in time.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Look - a lolly stick snowman.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17And because we made a loop of ribbon at the top,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21we can now hang our snowman onto our Christmas tree.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25If you've got more than a minute, you could try all sorts of ideas.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28How about one of Santa's helpers?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31This cute elf with green stripy clothes and glittery highlights.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Or a super Santa with a cotton wool beard and a bright red hat.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Why don't you try and make it in a minute?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Here's a reminder of how to do it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Let's go back to the beginning and take another look.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Glue a loop of ribbon or string to the back of a lolly stick.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Carefully cut a snowman's hat shape
0:12:52 > 0:12:54and stick it to the front of the stick.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Glue on a ribbon scarf and buttons
0:12:58 > 0:13:00and a triangle nose.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Draw on the eyes and mouth
0:13:02 > 0:13:05and your lolly stick snowman is ready to hang up.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Why don't you try and make it in a minute?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Thank you so much, everyone,
0:13:12 > 0:13:17for being part of a marvellous and Christmassy minute make!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19CHEERING

0:13:22 > 0:13:25Merry Christmas!
0:13:33 > 0:13:35What's this?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38It's a mini maker Christmas card.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Let's see what we have been sent today.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Hello, Mr Maker.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm Ruby and I made this picture
0:13:48 > 0:13:51and I collected shells from the beach.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55And I stuck them on and we painted the canvas.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56I hope you like it.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Hello, Mr Maker. I'm Erca and I made a doggy money box.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04First I got a plastic bottle.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08I used cardboard for the nose and the tail.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12I cut a hole in the top to put money in.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13His name is Toran.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I hope you like him, Mr Maker.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20What fantastic ideas! Why don't you try one of those today?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22RINGING
0:14:22 > 0:14:27My maker phone is ringing. Ah, some mini makers are calling.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Happy Christmas, Mr Maker!
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Merry Christmas, mini makers!
0:14:33 > 0:14:37I'm Rafaela from Brazil and these are my friends.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Can you help us make a picture?
0:14:39 > 0:14:44I'd love to! I'll be with you for a high five in five!
0:14:48 > 0:14:49Three...
0:14:51 > 0:14:52..two...
0:14:53 > 0:14:54..one!
0:14:54 > 0:14:56We're in Brazil!
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I made it! Happy Christmas, everyone! High fives!
0:15:02 > 0:15:05There we are. What picture would you like to make?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08A Christmas picture.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Of course! A Christmas picture.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12What's going to be in our picture?
0:15:12 > 0:15:17- A tree.- A Christmas tree. That's a nice idea.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- What else do we need?- Snow.- Snow.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- A house.- A house.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25That's a really nice idea.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- A snowman.- A snowman! Of course. We're ready, aren't we?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Yeah!- Let's make it together.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38We are painting the Christmas trees.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46This is the snow!
0:15:48 > 0:15:50We'll need some decorations.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56We are wrapping the presents.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59And some nice snowy hills.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08We're having a great time making our big picture.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11And that has just given me a Christmassy idea.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Why don't you make something, too?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Try making an everlasting Christmas door decoration
0:16:19 > 0:16:21to stick on your bedroom door.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24You will need a long strip of coloured paper.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Sticky tape and scissors.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30A strip of colourful wrapping paper and a glue stick.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Pom-poms and buttons.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39First, fold a long strip of coloured paper in half.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Then carefully make cuts all the way along the fold.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48But make sure you don't cut all the way to the other edge.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Tape along the unfolded edge.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Next, bring the two ends together to make a circle.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Tape them together.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Now take a thin strip of wrapping paper
0:17:19 > 0:17:21and put glue in the middle of it.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Fold one end to make a loop
0:17:25 > 0:17:27and stick it in place.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Do the same with the other end.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Glue it down to make a bow.
