Mister Maker!

Oh! Hello! Nice to see you!

Look! I've got so much stuff!

Just think of all the things I could make.

DRAWERS: There's no room in here for all that stuff!

It's no good complaining, Doodle Drawers!

All this stuff's gotta go somewhere!

Stop it! Stop it! Come here, you!

Right, in you get, there's plenty of room!

Now will you all please STOP!

Thank you!

-DRAWER BURPS

-Oh, excuse you!

You ARE full, aren't you?

I've no more room in my Doodle Drawers!

But hold on to your hairbrushes! I've got an idea!

Try making a junk picture using all the bits and pieces

you don't know what to do with!

Let's make it! You can use anything!

Some old toys...

Some pipe cleaners...

ELEPHANT TRUMPETS

An elephant trunk?!

No, I don't think we need that!

Some bottle tops.

And some dried peas and lentils.

You'll also need some sticky white PVA glue

and a piece of cardboard.

Now to start making your junk picture like this one here

take your piece of cardboard

and start placing your bits of junk on top.

Now you can arrange them any way you like

it's up to you.

And when you're happy with it,

stick it all down with glue and leave it to dry.

Doesn't it look great? And you can try lots of other designs too.

You could paint the background first, like this blue one here

or place all of your junk really tightly together

to create a different effect like this one.

Now all of my junk has a new home,

and there's loads of room in my drawers!

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you, thank you!

You're too kind!

Make YOUR drawers happy and try making a junk picture!

SNORING

Who's that snoring?

These are the Shapes.

Awww! They're asleep!

I've got an idea!

Let's wake them up!

Come on! It's time for a puzzle!

Ah! Ah!

Hey, hey, hey! Hey-hey!

Take it away!

ALL: Oh! Hey! Ah, yes!

Whoo!

Whee!

# We are the shapes

# We are the shapes

# 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 square. #

How many squares can YOU see?

One...

two...

three...

four...

five...

six...

ooh, seven...

eight...

nine...

ten...

11!

There's 11 squares!

Well done, Square! It's time to go back on the shelf.

-Hee-hee!

-Whoo!

Ooh!

THEY SNORE

Those shapes...are great!

Hoo-hoo!

Minute make time! Minute make time!

It's minute make time! Come on!

Now today we're going to make... a snake pot

for all your bits and pieces.

AMERICAN ACCENT: Hope you like my snakeskin jacket.

To make the snake pot you will need some paints...

BONGOS BEAT

..and a pencil...

and some air-drying clay

which you can get from any arty and crafty shop.

I'll be back in a tick.

CASH REGISTER RINGS

Whoa! Here's my air-drying clay.

Now d'you think it's possible to make

a snake pot in just a minute?

Not a chance!

Hm, 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.

Ready? Let's make it in a minute!

Start the clock!

-DING!

-Right! Get a lump of clay

and roll it into a long sausage shape.

Here we go...

You have to be as quick as you can

And as careful too! You don't want the clay to break.

Hurry up!

I'm going as quick as I can!

Don't put me off, I'm on a roll!

Here we go.

Right, this looks quite good. Now start twirling round,

your sausage shape like that

then building it up into a pot shape like this.

There we go...

Building it round...

There we go, round and round it goes...

There we go.

Turn it round, turn up the head,

give it a squidge. Get two little bits

put them on the front like that...

They're the eyes!

Get a pencil and make eyes!

-DING!

-I did it!

Lucky, lucky, lucky!

Just made it! And when it's hard and you've got more than a minute,

you can paint it! This one's green with white and red spots.

But you can do any colour you want!

Look! It's got yellow stripes.

How about a yellow one?

Great! This one's got pink spots too!

A snake pot, 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.

Take a piece of clay and roll it

into a long sausage shape.

Coil it round until you make a pot shape like this,

bend the end of it to make a head

and then with two other small pieces of clay, make the eyes.

Dot them with a pencil and leave your pot to dry.

Try making it in a minute!

Hello, Mister Maker!

Guess what we're making today?

Oh, I don't know. Let's go and see.

I'm red.

I'm light-blue.

I'm blue!

I'm black.

I'm orange.

I'm grey.

It's a rocket!

Well done, everyone! See you next time!

Now it's time to...

frame it!

Frame it!

Frame it.

Now, have a look at this!

This fantastic tropical picture was made

using just two pieces of cardboard.

It's very easy but looks so good you'll be able to frame it!

You'll need a long piece of cardboard

and a short piece of cardboard,

with some black, white and yellow paint.

To make your tropical picture start by dipping the long edge

of a piece of cardboard into some black paint.

Now use the card to paint with to build up your picture.

Why not start by painting some grass?

And a tree.

This is going to be a palm tree.

Make the trunk with the short side of the cardboard.

You can twist the paint with the card

to make different textures in the paint.

Palm trees have lots of spiny branches.

Use the long side of the card to make the middle

and the short side to make the leaves.

Doesn't that look great already?!

Now to finish off your picture, why not use the short edge

of another clean piece of card to make a circle like this?

Some yellow and some white... There we go!

It's the sun!

And you could even highlight some of the grass and the leaves

with the yellowy-white paint.

See? You don't need any brushes at all to create art!

All you need is an old bit of card.

Why don't you have a go?

What a great way of making a really clever picture.

Now all that's left to do is...

frame it!

And next, a messy picture.

Watch this!

Any ideas what it is yet?

It's...a bee!

Bee-autiful!

BZZZ!

Phew! It gets messy doing all this art!

But one of the best things about making things

is you can often turn one thing into another.

You can turn some pencil shavings into a lovely picture.

PEACOCK CRIES

You can turn an egg box into a dog.

WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!

But what d'you think we could turn this into?

A useful, but quite boring-looking cleaning-up sponge.

Hmm...

This gives me an idea.

Let's make it - sponge toast and tissue paper baked beans!

A work of art that's good enough to eat!

As well as our sponge we'll need some things from the Doodle Drawers!

Some tissue paper.

A plastic knife and fork.

Some sticky white PVA glue.

Some paint.

Some plastic sheep...

BAAA!

I'm just messing around, we don't need these!

TEARING SOUND

And a paper plate.

Whoa! Now, to make your sponge toast and tissue paper baked beans,

first take your scissors and trim your sponge

so it's rounded at one end and looks a bit more

like a slice of toast. Be careful though, because scissors are sharp.

SCISSORS GROWL AND SNAP

Then get some white paint and mix it with some brown paint

to make a light-brown toast colour.

There!

Now brush your paint mixture all over your sponge.

Now paint brown around the edges for a crust effect.

It looks just like a piece of toast!

Let's stick it on our plate!

Now whilst that dries, get some orange tissue paper

or you could use white tissue paper and colour it in orange,

and roll lots and lots of small, tiny tissue paper balls,

very tightly. These will be our baked beans... Yummy!

There's one...

And there's two.

Here's a whole plateful. Now let's stick some beans

on our toast and plate.

Now mix some white, sticky PVA glue with some orange paint...

This makes the baked bean sauce,

which we can pour all over our beans.

There! Now for a finishing touch...

a plastic fork and a plastic knife.

Stick everything down and leave it to dry!

All finished!

Now if you like the idea of turning this into something different,

have a look at some of the other ideas you could make.

Try making sponge sandwiches, with tissue paper lettuce,

cardboard tomato, and foam ham and cheese! Mm!

Or how about sponge fish fingers,

sponge chips,

tissue paper peas,

a ketchup made from a blob of red paint?

So the next time you see a boring old sponge,

you'll know you can turn it into something far more interesting!

Wow! Look at that! This is great cos I was feeling a bit hungry actually.

Ho-ho-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!
