Mister Maker around the world!

Hello, it's making time!

Get ready for an arty adventure around the world.

Today, we travel to South Africa to make a brilliant beaky bird

in under a minute,

find out how to make your own amazing art box pencil case,

as we make a giant art set,

but first, we're off to Hong Kong

to have fun with lots of lovely letters.

Wow, look! We're in Hong Kong.

What an amazing place,

with beautiful buildings.

There's so much to see here.

And there are so many interesting things to look at.

HE COUGHS

And places to explore.

I've had a lovely time looking around.

I've been following my map and all of the street signs.

Actually, there are letters and words everywhere.

Oh, that's just given me a great idea. Let's try something.

Try recycling old magazines, newspapers

and packaging to make some lovely letter art.

Let's make it!

We'll need a Mini Maker to help us. Let's see if there's one nearby.

Hello, Mini Makers. Now, who's going to help me today?

Hello, Mister Maker. I'm Ethan.

-Hello, Ethan!

-I can help you.

-Oh, that's good news.

Everyone else, thank you very much, but Ethan, let's get making.

Brilliant. Ethan is on his way to help us make our picture.

But first, we'll need somewhere to make it.

Wonderful.

The Marvellous Maker Case has become a marvellous making table!

Now, we just need some arty things to make our picture.

We'll need...some paper or card.

Some old leaflets, magazines and newspapers.

Some scissors.

And we'll also need, of course, a music player. A music player?

Scrappz, it's you! How did you get here?

-Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra!

-All right, there's no need to shout.

Wait a minute. Come on.

-MUSIC PLAYS

-I Am A Shape!

It's a good one.

Nice one, but we really need a glue stick. Can you find us one, please?

Well done, Scrappz.

We've got a glue stick. Wonderful. We've got everything we need.

Although, it does feel like something is missing.

Now, do you know what it is?

I'm here, Mister Maker.

Of course, Ethan, it's you, my friend.

It's lovely to see you. You're just in time to help me make our picture.

-Look at this. It's lovely letter art. So, are you ready?

-Yes!

Oh, very good. Are YOU ready?

Fantastic. Let's get making.

Now, the first thing we're going to do, Ethan,

is reuse lots of different materials that have words and letters on them.

So, Ethan, can you pass me those magazines and leaflets?

We've got a nice selection here. Ask an adult to help you find some.

You can use anything, really. Old newspapers, leaflets, magazines.

Even wrappers and comic books.

Ethan, we need to cut out all of the letters now,

-but we must be careful, because scissors are...

-Sharp!

That's right.

Just choose some nice bright letters like these.

Keep going until you've cut out lots of letters,

and I'm going to leave them over here with you.

It's time to stick them down onto paper.

So, Ethan, could you pass me that glue stick, please? Thank you.

-You're welcome.

-Lovely. Now, which letter shall we go for first?

-Which one is that?

-I.

-I, what a good idea. Let's put some glue on.

There we go.

Stick your letters wherever you like, but it's a good idea to start

in the middle of your paper and work outwards.

-Right, next letter, Ethan. What do you think?

-F.

-Good choice.

F for friends. Because we're best friends now, aren't we? Excellent.

-Enough.

-Enough? OK. If you say it's enough, it's enough.

Now, let's stick it down.

You can make your letters all face the same way, or make them

point in different directions. It's up to you.

Carry on until you've covered your paper.

We've finished! It's lovely letter art.

And if you enjoyed that, why not try these other ideas, too?

You don't just have to use letters, you know.

You could use pictures of tasty fruit for a fabulous effect.

Or what about using pictures of colourful flowers and plants?

Or you could even use different pictures of colourful doors.

Why don't you try one of those ideas today?

Thank you so much for helping me, Ethan.

-BOTH: We made it!

-Brilliant. High-five. What a fantastic effect.

Well done, Ethan.

Now, that over there, Maker Bear, is Kowloon. Yes, that's right.

SQUEAKING

Can you hear that noise? It's coming from the Marvellous Maker Case.

It's the Shapes! They're off on their journey around the world.

ALL: # I am a shape!

# I am a circle

# I am a triangle

# I am a square

# I am a rectangle

# I am a shape!

# I am a shape!

# I am a shape!

# I am a shape!

# I am a rectangle. #

What are the rectangles making today?

Can you guess?

What could it be?

It's a ballerina!

Well done, Shapes. It's time to get back in the Marvellous Maker Case.

I love it here in Hong Kong. I've had such a fantastic time.

MOBILE RINGS

Oh, the Maker Phone is ringing. Excuse me.

Oh, it's Tocky.

-It's minute-make time in South Africa!

-Oh, thanks, Tocky.

I'm on my way. Here we go.

-It's minute-make time!

-ALL:

-Yeah!

That's right, it's the part of the show where we challenge

-ourselves to make something in...

-BIRDS SQUAWK

..just one minute. In just one minute!

SQUAWKING

Can you be quiet, please? Thank you. Watch it, cheeky.

LAUGHTER

I know why these birds are making so much noise.

It's because we're going to make this brilliant beaky bird.

Very funny and very feathery.

Now, to make one of these beaky birds, we'll need these arty things.

Let's have a look. We've got some shapes of thin card.

Two triangles and a large square.

We've got some stickers, a glue stick,

and we'll also need some colourful feathers.

Now, you can find these in an arts and crafts shop,

but to save time today, I'm going to order some on my Maker Phone.

Here we go. Colourful feathers. Add to cart.

That was quick. Let's have a look. What have we got in here?

Look everybody, we've got some colourful feathers.

Excellent.

Let's put them over here. It looks like we've got everything we need.

So, do you think we can make this beaky bird in just one minute?

ALL: Don't be silly!

Well, I think I can.

I will have to be very quick, but don't worry,

-I'll remind you how to do it at the end. Are you ready?

-Yes!

Are YOU ready? Fantastic.

-Let's make it in a minute.

-ALL: Three, two, one!

Start the clock!

First, fold this square of thin card

in half to make a triangle,

and fold it in half again

to make a smaller triangle.

Using these flappy corners,

we'll fold one over there

that way and the other over like that.

Now, our beaky bird is taking shape.

Let's take some glue,

we're going to put lots on this side here

and lots on this side here.

That will help us

stick on our paper triangles.

Let's stick one on that side

and one on that side.

Now, we need to make some eyes

and some nostrils.

We're going to do that

using some stickers.

A white sticker there,

like that, and one there.

We can use these black stickers

to make the pupils in the middle.

And then these nostrils

we'll stick on there as well.

The last thing we need to do

is stick on our feathers.

Let's put plenty of glue on the back

and grab a clump of feathers

and stick them down,

and we've made our beaky bird!

TIMER RINGS, KIDS CHEER

I did it just in time.

But if you've got more than a minute,

you could try all sorts of ideas.

Like this tropical toucan with a colourful stripy beak.

Or how about this cheeky chicken, with a sunny yellow beak

and a bright red crest?

Or you could even create

a terrific pterodactyl,

made from bright green card

with triangle teeth.

Right, you try and make one of those ideas in just one minute.

Here's a reminder of how to do it.

Let's go back to the beginning and take another look.

Fold a square of thin card in half to make a triangle.

Then in half again to make a smaller triangle.

Fold over the two flappy corners like this.

Then open it out. Glue on some different coloured triangles.

Add stickers for eyes and nostrils.

Stick feathers to the back with a glue stick

and your bird is finished.

Why don't you try and make it in a minute?

Now, thank you so much, everyone,

for being part of another marvellous minute make!

CHEERING

What's this? It's a Mini Maker postcard.

Let's see what we've been sent today.

My name's Ezekiel and I am five.

And I made this toy rocket ship.

First I painted the tube. Then I stuck the cone on.

Then, I stuck the red and grey and yellow paper into the lid.

Three, two, one, shhhhhh!

Hello, this is Rocky.

First, I took a pebble from my mum's pot plant,

and then I took cotton wool from her bathroom.

And then I went to the shop and bought googly eyes and pipe cleaners

and I stuck them on. Rocky is my pet rock. I hope you like him.

What fantastic ideas. Why don't you try one of them at home?

MOBILE RINGS

Oh, excuse me. The Maker Phone is ringing.

Some Mini Makers are calling!

Hello, these are my friends.

-Hello, Mini Makers.

-Can you help us make a picture?

-Oh, I'd love to.

I'll be with you for a high-five in five...

four...

CHILDREN: Three, two, one!

We're in the UK!

I made it! I told you I would. Right, let's get some high-fives.

-Well, what picture would you like to make?

-An arty picture.

-An arty picture! Now, what's going to be in our picture?

-Paint.

Of course, we need lots of paint.

And what different colours of paint will there be?

-Red and green and purple and yellow.

-Lovely.

-What else do you think we should have?

-Pens.

-Crayons.

-Great ideas.

-Are you ready?

-Yes!

-Let's make it together.

-We are making the pencils.

This is a paint bottle.

This is the paintbox.

And we'll need a really colourful background.

Yes, we're feeling very arty making our big picture.

And that's just given me an idea. Why don't you make something too?

Try making your own little art box.

It looks great, and it's incredibly useful.

You will need a box and some card, paint and paint brushes,

a ruler, stickers, and a black pen,

a glue stick, and some sticky tape.

First, take a long, thin box and make sure one end is stuck down

and the other end is left open.

This is where you'll be able to store your pens and pencils.

Give the box a coat of paint. Leave it to dry.

Next, take a piece of card and use a ruler to help you fold it like this.

And then tape it to the box to make the lid.

Now, use stickers to make different coloured paints

on your art box palette.

Then, add some detail with a black pen.

Lastly, stick an old paintbrush to your paintbox like this.

Your art box pencil case is finished

and ready for all your pens and pencils.

What an arty idea. Why don't you try it?

But right now, let's get back to our big picture.

-Well done, everyone.

-ALL: We made it together! Yay!

Wow. You can make a giant picture with that art set.

We have had some amazing arty adventures today.

Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-be-ra!

No, Scrappz, we can't live over there. That's Buckingham Palace!

MOBILE RINGS, SCRAPPZ SHRIEKS

Don't worry, Scrappz, it's just the Maker Phone. It's Tocky.

-Time to go, time to go!

-Oh, all right, I'll be home soon.

Well, that's it for now.

My making time is over, but yours is just beginning.

It's time to put the Marvellous Maker Case back in its box.
