CAR HORN TOOTS

Hello! We're going for a drive today!

I wonder what we'll see?

Waaaaa!

Tocky here! Mini Maker message!

-Hello, I'm Emily.

-Hello, Emily! Can I help you today?

-Yes, please, Mister Maker.

-OK, I'll be right with you!

HORN TOOTS

Here I am!

Hello, Emily! Lovely to meet you. How can I help you today?

Can you help me find something to make a picture?

Of course I can help you find something to make a picture!

I know, let's go for a walk and see what we can find!

Oh, oh, aaaaahh!

CRASH!

Woah! What happened there?

Oh, no, look! My shoelaces are undone.

I must have tripped over them, Emily! Silly me.

I'll tell you what, though,

these shoelaces have just given me a great idea!

Let's try something!

Try making a super shoelace picture,

by sewing with shoelaces!

BOTH: Let's make it!

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

And we'll also need some things from the Doodle Drawers!

I'll be back soon.

Thick cardboard and a pencil.

Some paint and a sponge.

And, of course, we need some shoelaces,

but coloured ones will work best, so let's ask Scraps for some help.

-TOOT!

-Hello!

Hello, Scraps! We need shoelaces. Can you help us, please?

-Uh-huh.

-Thank you. There he goes. Oh, Scraps!

Thank you very much, but I need more shoelaces than this,

and in really bright colours. Can you have another look, please?

-Uh-huh.

-And no more smelly shoes, please, come on now!

Hey, that's the stuff! Well done, Scraps!

-Lots of brightly coloured shoelaces, thank you!

-Hmm-hmm!

We need some sticky tape, a pen and a paper plate,

and we also need some modelling clay.

OK, then, Emily, let's make a super shoelace picture,

like this one here.

Wow, look! It's a boat sailing on the sea.

-OK, then, Emily. Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Brilliant! Are YOU ready?

Fantastic! Let's get making!

Now, the first thing we're going to do is paint a sheet of thick

cardboard in a nice bright colour.

I think we should use blue and white paint,

but you can use whatever colours you like.

Pass it over, perfect.

Now, I'm going to take a sponge

and start to paint our card with a mixture of blue and white paint.

Leave it to dry, and here's our sea and our sky.

Now, we can turn the card over, and draw whatever we want to.

-What would you like me to draw?

-A boat.

A boat! That sounds like a good idea.

Now, we're going to make little holes all

the way along the lines in our picture.

To do that, we need a ball of modelling clay,

and we're going to put it underneath the card, like this.

Now, Emily, I need a sharp pencil, so we can push it

carefully through the cardboard to make a hole.

Now, this can be a little bit fiddly,

so it's a good idea to ask an adult to help you.

Carry on making holes all the way around your shape...

..and when you've finished, turn it over.

And you can still see the shape of the boat on the painted side.

Now it's time to start threading shoelaces to colour in our picture.

Emily, can you choose our first shoelace, please?

If you don't have laces, you can always use coloured wool instead.

Now, let's poke the shoelace through the first hole,

and then we can hold it in place with some sticky tape.

And now we're ready to start sewing!

So, let's thread the lace across the first shape,

going from hole to hole until you've coloured it in.

Then carry on threading laces through the other

shapes in the picture.

It looks good if you make each part a different colour.

And when you've finished, make sure all the loose ends are stuck down.

There we go. And I think...

Yes! We're finished.

It's a super shoelace picture.

There are lots of other ideas you could try, too.

How about a lorry driving down a road?

It's made with stripey shoelaces.

You could even use shoelaces

and wool to make a green tractor in a field.

Super shoelace pictures! Why don't you try one today?

-Did you enjoy that, Emily?

-Yes.

-Brilliant!

We made it, and now your home is where the art is! High-five!

What a good effect! Great work, Emily. Bye!

Ah! I love being out and about in the Makermobile.

The sun is shining, the birds are tweeting, and...

LAUGHING AND BANGING FROM DRAWER

Oh! What's that noise?

Guess who that is?

-Wooo!

-Heeeey!

-Waaaa!

-Yeaaah!

# 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 are the triangles making today?

Can you guess?

It's a seahorse!

Well done, Shapes! It's time to get back in the Doodle Drawers!

I'm in the fresh air, having a drive in the Makermobile.

-There's nowhere else I'd rather be!

-Waaa!

Minute-make time!

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

I've arrived!

It's minute-make time, everyone!

AUDIENCE: Yay!

-Today, we're making something...

-GHOSTLY LAUGHING

What's that noise? It sounds like it's coming from over here.

Let's have a look.

Oooo...Boo!

Look! This ghostly pop-up card is great fun to surprise your friends

with, and we can make it in just one minute!

Here's what we need.

A piece of coloured card, some white paper, a pen, some scissors,

a gluestick and some sticky tape.

Now, do you think it's possible to make this pop-up card

in just one minute?

KIDS: No way!

Well, let's find out.

I'll have to be quick, but don't worry,

I'll remind you how to do it later. Ready?

Yes!

Are you ready?

Brilliant. Let's make it in a minute!

Three, two, one, go!

Start the clock! Let's get our piece of paper,

and we're going to cut an arch shape,

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

-KIDS: Sharp!

-That's right!

Now we're going to cut a wiggly shape here,

along the bottom. This makes the bottom of our ghost.

There it is, nice and wiggly, round and round.

Then we're going to cut this wiggly bit in half

for the arms, so let's get some

sticky tape and stick them on.

OK, let's turn our ghost over,

and let's give him some eyes,

and a mouth, like that. He looks funny!

Now we're going to fold

our card in half, and then

take our scissors and make a snip at the edge here,

and here, and if we give that a bit of a wiggle,

and then push it through, and then get some glue,

put some glue on there,

and then we can stick on our ghost,

and we've made a pop-up card!

KIDS: Yay!

Phew! I made it, just in time!

But if you've got more than a minute,

you can make all kinds of pop-up cards!

How about this one? It's a spotty monster! Oooh!

Or how about a roaring lion, with a torn paper mane,

and a big roary mouth?

Or even a colourful clown, with a red sticker for his nose?

Pop-up cards, made in just a minute!

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

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

Cut out a paper arch,

trim off the bottom edge to make it wiggly,

cut the leftover wiggly piece in half to make arms,

and stick them on the back of the ghost shape.

Draw a face,

then fold a sheet of card in half.

Cut two slits in the folded edge to make a flap, like this,

and push this inwards.

Stick the ghost onto the flap, and your pop-up card is finished!

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

Right, it's time to go, everyone, but thank you so much

for being part of another marvellous minute-make! Goodbye!

I wonder where we're off to next?

Hello, Mister Maker!

Oh, nice to see you!

-Can you guess what we're making today?

-What are they going to make?

I'm yellow.

I am grey.

I am red.

I am orange.

I am brown.

ALL: It's a campfire!

Well done, everyone! See you next time!

Hello! Are you ready for a big surprise?

These Mini Makers aren't expecting me!

Hello!

We're going on a very exciting adventure today, to Ancient Egypt!

KIDS: Yay!

Actually, we're going to make Ancient Egypt come to us,

as we build a big pyramid!

So, Sumaya, Elise, Niamh, Logan and Jack, let's make it!

All right, then, Mini Makers. Now, what sort of things might we see?

-Erm, a big pyramid.

-A pyramid, what else?

-Camel!

-A camel?

-Now, what's special about a camel? What does a camel have?

-A hump.

That's right! What can we make humps from?

-Them.

-Oh, yes! This pot will make a great hump for our camel,

but it needs to be a nice furry camel.

Can you see anything to cover the pot?

Oh, that looks great. That'll work, won't it?

-I think we're ready, aren't we?

-KIDS: Yeah!

Come on then, let's make it!

Here you are, Mini Makers. This is going to be the body of the camel.

-What are you painting over there, Sumaya?

-Camel's feet.

The camel's feet.

That's it, wrap it round.

These are the pyramids.

And we'll need a nice blue background.

This big surprise has been great fun so far,

so why don't you join in and make your very own Mini Make?

Try making your own ancient pyramid that looks fantastic!

You will need some play sand,

gloopy glue, sticky tape,

plastic gems, scissors and a pen, a big paintbrush and crayons,

cardboard, card and paper.

First, take a large piece of paper and fold one corner over, like this.

Then, cut down the fold to make a triangle.

Draw around it three times onto cardboard,

to make three triangles the same size.

Then, cut them out. This can be tricky, so ask an adult to help you.

Now draw some shapes onto another piece of cardboard.

Zig zags and diamonds look great!

Draw as many as you like, and carefully cut them out.

Then glue them onto each of the triangles.

Now turn the triangles over and tape them together, like this.

Bring the two pointy edges up,

and tape them together to make a pyramid shape.

Now, take a big piece of card,

and tape one edge of the pyramid to it, like this.

Cover everything with gloopy glue...

..and sprinkle play sand all over it.

Then leave it to dry.

Now colour in the patterns on your pyramid with crayons.

You can even glue on some plastic gems for extra decoration.

Your very own ancient pyramid is finished

and ready to keep your treasure hidden inside!

Why don't you try to make a little pyramid, or a really big one,

like this? Well done, Mini Makers!

Just coming!

Oh, hello! Come in, come on, everyone, in you come!

That's it, well done.

Well done, everyone!

ALL: We made it! Yaaaaay!

Wow! It looks hot in Ancient Egypt, doesn't it?

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!
