-Mister Maker. #

Hello again, it's great to see you.

I'm out having a drive in the maker-mobile.

Where do you think we should go today?

-SQUAWK!

-Tocky, here.

Mini-maker message!

Hello, I'm Harry.

Hello, Harry. Can I help you today?

Yes, please, Mister Maker.

I'll be there very soon!

I've arrived!

Hello, Harry. How can I help you today?

Can you show me how to make a ripped paper picture?

That's a good idea. I like ripping - it's great fun.

And really easy, too.

Oh! Ha-ha!

MR MAKER STRAINS

Oh. Actually, sometimes it's quite hard to rip things.

What we need is something thinner.

Yes, that'll do.

Let's have a look now.

Ha-ha! I did it!

And these pieces of ripped paper have just given me a great idea.

Let's try something.

Try making this lovely layered picture,

made by ripping colourful shapes from paper.

BOTH: Let's make it!

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

Oh! Ha-ha. We'll also need some things from the Doodle Drawers.

I'll be back soon, Harry.

Some coloured paper.

We also need another very special type of paper.

I wonder if Scraps can help?

TOOT-TOOT!

SCRAPS HUMS

Where is Scraps?

Scraps! Scraps...

Oh. I think he might be in the shower.

Ha-ha! Scraps! Scraps! Come on.

We need your help.

HE SQUEAKS

Sorry to bother you. But could you find us some tracing paper, please?

HE SQUEAKS

Thank you. Tracing paper is very thin paper that you can see through.

Oh, great! Well done, Scraps.

HE SQUEAKS, THEN CRASHES AWAY

Thank you.

And we'll also need...a glue stick!

This is what we're going to make today.

It's a lovely layered picture of some ducks on a pretty pond.

-So what do you think?

-It's really good!

-It's good? Brilliant! So are you ready?

-Yeah.

Great! Are you ready? Brilliant! Let's get making.

The first thing to make is the water in our picture.

We'll need a blue piece of paper,

and we'll tear out two long, wavy strips!

Take the paper, and tear off a thick wavy piece for one edge,

and a thinner wavy piece for the other edge, like this.

Next, rip out some green leaf shapes.

Actually, you can help with this, Harry.

Now let's rip out some ducks from yellow paper.

This can be a bit fiddly, so you might need an adult to help you.

Look! Two ducks! We're going to put them

to the side for the moment, and bring in the blue paper for our sky.

Remember those long, wavy blue strips we ripped out for the water?

We need the larger one.

Here it is. We're going to line it up on the background like this.

Make sure that the straight edges and the corners match.

Now we can add a duck and some leaves.

-Here's a little duck...

-QUACK!

..and three green leaves, I think.

I'm tucking these behind the blue strip.

When you're happy with where everything is,

glue it all down!

Next, add some glue around the edge of your tracing paper.

There we go.

Now we can stick this onto our picture,

then bring back in the remaining long, blue, wavy strip

and place it at the bottom like this.

Perfect!

We can also add another duck and some green leaves.

-QUACK!

-When you're happy with it,

you can glue it down again!

There, all finished.

Can you see how the different layers of paper and tracing paper

make the background look like it's a long way away?

It's very clever!

If you enjoyed that, there are lots of other ideas.

How about these torn paper cows,

on ripped rolling hills, under a bright yellow sun?

What about this marvellous monkey swinging from the trees

in this fabulous forest?

Layered pictures, made with a bit of sticking

and a lot of ripping! Try one today.

-Harry, what do you think?

-It's really good.

-Brilliant!

We made it. Now your home is where the art is! High five!

Well done.

What a fantastic ripping picture, Harry. Bye-bye!

Ahhh! I love being out and about in the maker-mobile.

The sun is shining, the birds are tweeting,

-and...

-GIGGLING AND BOUNCING

What's that noise?

Now, who do you think's in the Doodle Drawers?

RATTLING

# I am a shape

# 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?

I wonder what it could be?

It's a xylophone!

Well done, Shapes.

It's time to get back in the Doodle Drawers!

Hee hee!

BEEP BEEP!

Oh, what a lovely day for a country drive in the maker-mobile.

-Wow!

-Ooh!

Minute-make time!

Hey, it's minute-make time! I'm on my way!

We've arrived.

It's minute-make time!

ALL: Yay!

Today we're going to make something brilliant!

-It's...

-BUZZING

What's that? What is it?

Oh, no!

It's a fly!

It's gone.

-BUZZING

-It's back again!

I was only joking. It's not a real fly,

it's my pet fly.

Look at this, it's fantastic.

It's really good for playing tricks on people

or hanging around in your room.

To make one of these, you will need...

a glue-stick,

a pipe-cleaner,

a piece of elastic,

some tracing paper,

a lolly stick

and we'll also need some googly eyes.

You can find these in an art and craft shop.

I'll be back very soon.

I've got them.

Right. Here are our googly eyes.

Do you think it's possible to make this pet fly in just one minute?

ALL: No way!

I think I can. I'm going to have to be very quick, though.

Don't worry, I'll remind you how to do it at the end. Are you ready?

ALL: Yeah!

Are you ready?

Great! Let's make it in a minute!

ALL: Three, two, one...

Start the clock!

Let's get our piece of elastic and pipe-cleaner

and we're going to wrap it around the end, like this,

then we need our lolly stick.

We're going to wrap the pipe-cleaner round the lolly stick

to make the fly's body.

There we go, like that.

Then we slide it off and we've got the start of our fly.

Now I'm going to open this up

in the middle, like that.

Then if we get our paper,

we can fold it in half, like this,

and then tear out a lumpy shape.

This is going to be the wings of our fly.

We can push those in the middle there,

and then squidge it down.

That's good.

Then we need to get our googly eyes

and stick those on.

Let's put one on that side,

and then one on this side here.

I've just about got enough time to do it.

I've made a pet fly!

CHEERING

Doesn't time fly when you're having fun?

If you've got more than a minute

you can make all sorts of pet flies and bugs.

Look at this.

A dragonfly with a gold pipe-cleaner body

and green wings.

Or even this.

A tropical bug made with beads

and a curly pipe-cleaner for its antennae.

Pet bugs made in a minute.

Why don't you have a go? Here's a reminder of how to do it.

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

Tie a piece of elastic around the pipe-cleaner,

wrap the pipe-cleaner around the lolly stick,

tear off some tracing paper wings,

push the wings into the fly's body,

add two googly eyes and your pet fly is finished!

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

It's time for me to buzz off. Bye!

ALL: Bye!

I wonder where we're off to next.

-ALL: Hello, Mister Maker.

-Nice to see you.

Can you guess what we're making today?

I don't know. Let's find out.

I am brown.

I am orange.

I am green.

I am pink.

I am peach.

I am dark blue.

I am purple.

I'm light blue.

ALL: It's a diver.

Well done, everybody. See you next time.

Now watch this.

Hello. Are you ready for a big surprise?

I'm going to surprise these mini-makers,

who have no idea I'm on my way and what we're going to make.

-Hello!

-ALL: Mister Maker.

It's great to meet you. How are you? Are you OK?

ALL: Yeah.

We're going to make something that's really cool. Here's a clue.

Any guesses?

A penguin?

Penguins, that's right!

I think we should make some big penguins on a big icy picture.

-Will you help me?

-ALL: Yeah!

OK, then, Rico, Anna-Carla, Kiam, Amrita and Ruah, let's make it!

We're going to make some big penguins on a big icy picture.

Is there anything good on the table that we could use to make our ice?

This sheet of fabric?

-Do you think this will work?

-ALL: Yeah.

That's fantastic. So we've got the ice.

Now, we're going to make a big penguin.

What sort of things would be on a penguin's face?

What's that?

A beak.

A beak. Try it on for size.

What else does a penguin need?

This for the eyes.

The penguin eyes! Plastic eggs for the penguin eyes.

Brilliant. Shall we make it?

ALL: Yeah!

Come one, let's go!

What will this blue paint be?

I think it will be the sea.

We're making fish.

We're going to turn our card into a very colourful iceberg.

Grab some brightly-coloured chalk

and start to rub it all along the edge.

-Does that sound like a good plan?

-ALL: Yeah.

Great. I'll leave you to it.

Now let's make an icy pool.

We're having great fun making our big penguins,

why don't you have a go making your own little one?

Try making a wobbly penguin.

Make it, play with it, have fun with it.

To make one, you will need...

a plastic egg, like one of these,

some modelling clay,

gloopy PVA glue, a brush,

black card and tissue paper,

paint, a pencil.

scissors,

a black pen,

a glue stick

and a piece of orange card.

Take an egg-shaped plastic container that comes in two halves,

open it up and push a ball of modelling clay into one half of it.

Then close the container.

Next, cover your egg with a layer of gloopy PVA glue.

Then stick on some small pieces of black tissue paper.

Leave it to dry.

Once it's dry, paint on the penguin's face with white paint.

When that's dry, take a piece of black card

and draw two pointy wing shapes.

Carefully cut them out

and glue one to each side of the penguin.

Then take a pen and draw two eyes.

Last of all, stick on a triangle of orange card to make a beak.

Your penguin is finished and ready to wobble!

What a perfect little penguin.

I wonder how our big penguins are coming along.

I think these eyes look great, don't you?

Nearly finished...

There we go, well done, everyone!

We made it! Yeah!

Now that's what I call a cool picture.

Mister Maker, time to go.

That's it for now, my making time is over,

but yours is just beginning.

It's time to put the maker-mobile back in its box.
