BEEP, BEEP!

Hello! Nice to see you.

I've hit the road in my brilliant Makermobile.

I never quite know where it's going.

SQUAWK!

Tocky here!

Mini-maker message.

Hello, I'm Ben.

Hello, Ben! Can I help you today?

Yes, please, Mister Maker.

I'll be there very soon.

Here I am!

Hello, Ben! Put it there. Now, how can I help you today?

Can you show me how to make a torn-paper picture?

A torn-paper picture?

Great idea! I'm really good at tearing.

'I'm great at tearing open presents on my birthday.'

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

'I'm even quite good at...'

RIP!

..tearing my trousers,

when I'm dancing.

He-he-he-he! Oh!

Anyway, Ben, do you know what the easiest thing to tear is?

No!

I'll tell you. It's this stuff - tissue paper.

And it's just given me a great idea.

Let's try something.

Try making this terrific torn-tissue picture.

Colourful, creative and very easy to do.

BOTH: Let's make it!

But first, Ben, we need somewhere to make it.

We also need some things from the Doodle Drawers. I'll be back soon.

A large piece of card...

Hmm... Now the next one is a bit tricky.

I wonder if Scraps can help?

HONK, HONK!

SCRAPS SQUEAKS

Scraps!

We need a jug of water. Can you help?

SCRAPS SQUEAKS

SCRAPS SQUEAKS

Oh!

Well done!

Thanks, Scraps!

SCRAPS SQUEAKS

Ha-ha! I'm going to walk with this very carefully.

And we also need lots of coloured tissue paper

and some gloopy PVA glue. He-he!

This is what we're going to make -

-it's a tremendous torn-tissue picture.

-Great.

"Great." I'm glad that you're pleased.

-Does that mean you're ready?

-Yes.

Fantastic! Are you ready?

Great! Let's get making.

The first thing we need is tissue paper.

You can use whatever colour tissue paper you like,

but it's a good idea to use similar colours together.

Maybe some pinks and purples together

or you could use greens and blues.

When you have chosen your tissue paper, start tearing.

You tear whatever shapes you like.

Oh, that's a good one.

We've got lots of tremendous torn tissue paper pieces

and now we need to make a very special mixture

that's made up of half gloopy glue and half water. Here we go, Ben.

Grab this brush and give that mixture a good stir, please.

Well done, Ben.

Our mixture is ready. It's time to bring in a clean sheet of card,

or paper, and ask you to spread a thin layer

of our special mixture

all the way across the card.

That's it. And cover the whole thing.

Great gluing, Ben. That's it. Well done.

I'm going to move this over here now, because it is time

to stick our ripped tissue paper pieces into the glue.

We can put them wherever we want. There, that looks good.

-What should we go for next?

-A purple one.

Here we go.

Let's stick it on.

Now, carry on sticking down your ripped up pieces of paper.

When you are happy with it,

brush another thin layer of the gloopy glue mixture on top,

then let it dry.

He-he.

And there we have it - a tremendous torn-tissue picture.

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

How about a lovely green, yellow and blue picture?

Or you could try sticking the strips the other way.

Or how about criss-crossing your strips to make a different pattern?

Torn-tissue pictures - why don't you try making one today?

-What do you think of ours, Ben?

-Great!

"Great!" I think you're great. We made it!

Now, Ben, your home is where the art is! High five!

Ha-ha! What a terrific torn-tissue picture. Well done, Ben!

-BEEP, BEEP!

-Bye!

He-he-he. How lovely. Hee-hee!

It's brilliant being out and about in the Makermobile.

There is always so much to see and do.

MUFFLED KERFUFFLE

What's that noise?

KERFUFFLE

I know who that is!

-Whee!

-Yeah!

-Aah!

-Ooh!

# 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 Triangle. #

What's hiding in the triangles?

Can you see what it is?

Any ideas?

It's a flamingo!

Well done, Shapes! Time to get back in the Doodle Drawers!

He-he!

BEEP, BEEP!

Oh, I love driving in the Makermobile.

There are so many interesting things to see.

SQUAWK!

Minute-make time!

Hey, it's minute-make time!

I'm on my way!

I've arrived!

It's minute-make time, everyone!

CHEERING

And today, we are going to make something

that's eggs-tremely brilliant!

No, it's not my breakfast,

but it is eggs-cellent! Ha-ha!

Get it? Eggs-cellent, because it's an egg box...

No? Would you like to see inside?

ALL: Yeah!

Let's have a look.

Hey! It's the Yolkfolk!

They're brilliant and they live inside an egg box.

Smashing, aren't they?

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

a pencil...

some chopped-up pieces of wool...

and we'll also need some googly eyes and air-drying clay.

You can find these in an art and craft shop.

I'll be back soon.

CAR ENGINE, CLOCK TICKING

TILL RINGS, CAR ENGINE

I've got them!

Here is our air-drying clay

and, of course, our googly eyes.

Do you think it's possible to make one of these Yolkfolk

in just one minute?

ALL: No way!

Well, let's find out. I'm going to have to be very quick

but don't worry - I'll remind you how to do it at the end.

Ready?

ALL: Yeah!

Are you ready?

Great. Let's make it in a minute!

ALL: Three, two, one...

Start the clock.

Right, we're going to get our ball of air-drying clay

and roll it into an egg shape, like this.

There we go. Make it all eggy.

There we go, like that.

I think that looks good.

There. That looks like an egg.

And now, we need to get our googly eyes and we'll just

push them into the clay. One there and one there as well.

There's two googly eyes.

Now our friend here needs some hair so we'll bunch all the wool together

and grab the pencil. Push the hair in

and then push the pencil into the clay

like that and we get some hair. Look - he's got spiky hair like me!

I will use this pencil again to make a mouth in the front

and we have got one of our Yolkfolk!

ALL CHEER

Phew, I made it!

If you've got more than a minute, you could paint it, like this one.

And there are all sorts of Yolkfolk you could try.

How about this pink one with yellow wool hair?

Or even this green one, with a plastic lid for a hat!

You could make a whole family of egg box-living Yolkfolk.

-They're great!

-YOLKFOLK: We are cracking?

Oh, Yolkfolk. Why don't you try to make some?

Here's a reminder of how to do it.

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

Roll some air-drying clay into an egg shape.

Add two googly eyes.

And add some wool for hair using a pencil to push it in.

Use your pencil to make a mouth and your Yolk person is finished!

Why don't you try and make some Yolkfolk?

They're smashing! Right, I've got to go. Bye!

ALL: Bye!

TOOT! TOOT!

I love driving the Makermobile.

Where shall we go next?

ALL: Hello, Mister Maker.

Oh, hello. Nice to see you.

What do you think we're making today?

Ooh, I'm not sure. Let's take a look.

I'm light blue.

I am red!

I am purple.

I am pink.

I am black.

I'm yellow.

ALL: It's a rocking horse!

Well done, everybody! See you next time.

Now watch this.

(Hello. Are you ready...)

..for a BIG surprise!

These makers have no idea what their surprise will be

or what I'm going to do.

Hello, everyone!

THEY GASP

Haha!

-Hello!

-ALL: Hello!

Oh, it's great to meet you. I've got a big idea

but I need a team of five builders.

Where am I going to find a team of five builders?!

ALL: Me!

-What, you? Will you help me?

-ALL: Yeah!

Brilliant!

I think we should build a big cardboard city.

So, Maria, Oya, Joshua, Alena and Mackay,

let's make it!

CHEERING

Are you excited about making a cardboard city?

-ALL: Yeah!

-Fantastic. If we were going to make a city

what sort of thing should we have in it?

-Houses.

-That's good.

-Cars.

-Roads.

-Brilliant ideas.

Now, what sort of buildings should we make? Very small ones...

No! This kind of big.

-That tall?!

-Yeah.

They could be even taller!

They could be...THIS tall!

ALL: Yeah!

-Do you think we should do it?

-Yeah!

-Let's make it then.

Grab a paintbrush and let's go!

These are the decorations for our building.

We're painting the windows.

It's time to paint the clock.

-What colour should we paint it?

-Orange.

-Orange.

Good idea. Let's get painting.

Tubes...

..and boxes...

..and coloured paper make brilliant buildings.

It's great fun building our big city,

so why don't you have a go making your own small one at home?

Try making a brightly coloured cardboard city. Make it!

Play with it! Have fun with it!

HORNS BEEP

To make one, you will need some thick card,

boxes and tubes,

a glue stick, card circles, scissors,

paintbrushes, paint and a black pen.

Take a piece of thick card, and arrange your boxes, pots and tubes

however you like.

When you're happy with where they are, glue them down!

Next, take some card circles and carefully cut slits up to the middle

of each piece of card.

Bend the card around to make a cone.

Then tape it into place.

You can make as many cones as you like in the same way.

Place your cones onto the tubes to make pointy roofs!

Now paint your cardboard city using whatever colours you like.

When you've painted your buildings, you can add all sorts.

You could even paint a clock face...

..and draw on some details with a black pen.

Add windows, doors and whatever you want.

Your cardboard city is finished!

It's ready to play with and you can keep anything you like inside it.

Oh! What a perfect way to make a small city.

But I wonder how our big city's coming along.

Oh, yes. Now, where shall we put that? Hmm...

SHE LAUGHS

LAUGHTER

Just one more window.

Ha-ha! There we go.

Well done, builders!

-We made it!

-ALL CHEER

BELL RINGS

Oh, just in time! Yay!

ALL CHEER

Fantastic.

What a wonderful day we've had in the city.

Mister Maker! Time to go.

Oh, that's it for now. My making time's over.

But yours is just beginning.

It's time to put the Makermobile back in its box.

-# Ooh, la la-la-la

-Mister Maker!

-#

BEEP! BEEP!

-# Ooh, la la-la-la

-Make it, Mister Maker!
