# Mr Maker, he's a maker! #

Oh, hello there! I was just finishing my clay model.

What do you think?

Look at him! He's a handsome chap.

Now...

where shall I put him?

Over there, I think. Up on the shelves.

If there's room.

Maybe not.

Oh! Over here. In the drawers.

Er... No, I don't think I'll get it in the drawers.

Oh! Maybe over there.

ALARM

Waaaah!

Oh, no!

Oh...

Oh, no! My model!

Oh! The toy cow shape has got stuck in my face!

Oh. It gives me an idea, though!

Try pressing toys into clay

to make a picture you can hang on the wall!

Let's make it!

The main things you need are in...

the Doodle Drawers. Come on!

A small box lid, or food tray.

Some old toys.

Some paint!

And some special air-drying clay

that you can buy from an arts and crafts shop. Back in a tick.

Whoo!

Now, to make a clay picture, like this one here,

firstly, roll or press your clay flat

into your lid or tray.

Now, choose a toy and press it into the clay.

Look! The toy has left a print in the clay.

Now build up the rest of your picture

using other different shaped toys.

Then push a hole in the top with a pencil...

..and leave it to dry.

When it's nice and dry,

carefully take it out of your lid or tray.

And now you can paint it!

Do this by picking out the parts where the toys have been pushed in.

I'm going to do some white on my cow.

Now, how about some green for the grass in the background?

And why not paint a blue sky and a yellow sun like this?

All done! A beautiful clay picture.

Now it's time to hang it up using the hole that you made.

You can make lots of types of these

using different things to press into your clay.

Patterns look great.

This one was made using a peg,

a pencil,

and a glue-spreader.

If you want, you can make a football,

by pressing in a toy shape like this.

It looks just like the real thing!

Oh, it's a goal!

Whoo!

Who's that snoring?

These are the Shapes.

Aah, they're asleep.

I've got an idea!

Let's wake them up!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Uh?

Come on! It's time for a puzzle!

Pthrt. Pthrt. Pthrt.

Oh! Ah! Ah!

Ey ey ey! Hey!

Take it away!

Ohhh! Hey!

-# I am a shape!

-La la la la

-# I am a shape!

-La la la la

-# I am a shape!

-La la la la

-# I am a shape!

-La la la la... #

I am a circle!

I am a triangle!

I am a square!

I am a rectangle!

# I am a shape! #

I am a triangle!

What's hiding in the triangles?

Can you guess?

It's a zebra!

Well done, Triangle!

It's time to get back on the shelf.

Oh! Oh!

Zzzzzz.

I love the Shapes, they're brilliant! Always...

Tocky here!

Minute make time!

It's minute make time!

Here's what we're going to make. An elephant peg-holder!

A helpful elephant who can hold your photos and other important things.

Now, to make an elephant peg-holder, you will need...

some glue. A peg.

A pen. A pair of scissors.

Some card. And two white stickers.

If you haven't got white stickers, don't worry.

You can always draw circles on white paper and cut them out.

Now, do you think it's possible to make this peg-holder

-in just a minute?

-Not a chance!

Really? Let's find out! I'm going to have to move very quickly,

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

Are you ready? Let's make it in a minute!

-Start the clock!

-Let's go!

Take your card and draw an arch shape like that

and two ears.

Then also a trunk shape there.

Now get your scissors and cut these shapes out.

There's one bit there...

and now...cut out the body.

-Be careful!

-I'm very careful, Tocky. Don't worry.

-Halfway!

-Round we go.

Right. There's his body.

Now if I glue my peg...

-Quicker!

-..stick it on...

and then glue the trunk there.

Then put the stickers on for eyes!

-I've just about done it!

-Just in time!

Thank you! Oof, that was close!

If you've got more than a minute, you can add some extra details,

like dots for eyes, some wrinkles for his trunk,

and even some toes!

And your helpful elephant is great for holding photos.

A helpful elephant peg-holder, made in a minute.

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

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

First, draw an elephant's head and ears.

Don't forget the trunk.

Then, cut out what you've drawn.

And stick on a peg.

Stick the trunk to the peg, add two stickers for eyes,

and your elephant peg-holder is ready!

Try making it in a minute!

CHILDREN: Hello, Mr Maker!

Guess what we're making today?

Ooh! I don't know. Let's have a look.

I'm orange.

I'm red!

I'm light blue!

CHILDREN: It's a crab!

Well done, everyone! See you next time!

Now it's time to...Frame It!

Frame It!

Frame It!

Now, have a look at this.

Look at this great picture of a house.

It's made by drawing into paint.

It sounds difficult, but it isn't.

And it looks so good you'll be able to frame it!

You'll need some coloured paint, some paper,

some glue and scissors, and some things to draw into paint with.

All sorts of things work, really.

Take a piece of paper and paint on a really thick coat of paint.

Let's start with purple.

Now with the edge of a paintbrush you can make this curvy pattern.

Look! It's really easy.

And how about some orange paint?

With the edge of a ruler, you can make this great pattern.

And with the end of a pencil you can make swirly patterns in blue paint.

With the edge of this plastic knife,

you can make criss-cross patterns in yellow paint!

And with the prongs of a plastic fork,

you can do wiggly patterns in green paint.

Look at all these great patterns you can make!

And if you want to, why not cut them into shapes

to make a picture?

It's a house!

Stick down your shapes and your picture's finished.

It's really easy! Why don't you try it?

What a great way of making a clever picture!

Now all that's left to do is... Frame It!

Amazing!

And next, a messy picture.

Watch this.

Can you see what it is?

Fantastic!

It's a digger!

Bzzzz!

Now that is a big bug.

Oh. Ooh!

Come on then. Come on, in you get.

Come on, in you get. That's it.

There! That's better.

Hmmm. This gives me an idea.

Have fun with a hilarious bug in a box

that will surprise your friends!

Let's make it! You'll need a washing-up glove,

and some other things from the Doodle Drawers!

A small cardboard box with a lid.

Some modelling clay.

Some felt-tip pens!

Some paper and some tissue paper!

And some glue and some scissors! Whoa!

Now, to make your bug in a box, like this one here,

first, take your ball of modelling clay

and place your small cardboard box on top.

Hold it in position, and then carefully get your sharp pencil,

and push through the box into the modelling clay.

Now this makes a hole - look! There you go.

Let's move the clay to the side, and the pencil,

and now take our scissors and very carefully make our hole bigger.

Remember to be very careful with scissors

because they're sharp.

There. Now, you need to make your hole big enough

to fit your finger through. Like that!

There - just right!

Now let's get our rubber glove

and very carefully, again, with our scissors,

cut one of the fingers off the glove.

There. Now make two slits, one on each side.

There's one.

And there's two.

Now, if I put this on my finger...

It's ready to colour in!

I'm doing this bug green.

There. Looking good.

But I think it needs some dark green spots.

There! A lovely, gorgeous, beautiful bug colour.

Now I think he needs some eyes.

So let's draw some shapes on our white paper, like this.

And then carefully cut them out.

Now, stick on your eyes like this.

There we go.

And now you're ready to put your bug in your box.

Let's feed him in.

There he goes.

And then stick him in place with some sticky tape.

There.

There! And now for a finishing touch,

you can add some tissue paper round the side.

There. And now you're ready to have fun!

Boo!

You've made a bug in a box!

You've made a stripy bug

by giving your bug coloured stripes!

Or a scary bug,

by giving him a mouth with fangs!

Whoa-ho! Time to go! Time to go!

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

But yours is just beginning! See you soon!

It's time to put all this stuff back in its box!
