# Mister Maker! #

Oh, hello. Great to see you again. I'm glad you stopped by.

It's brilliant when friends pop up out of nowhere to surprise you.

-I know what you mean, Mister Maker!

-HE CHUCKLES

-Me too!

-Oooh.

Having these Mister Makers pop up at once gives us...

ALL: A great idea!

Hmm. Let's try something.

ZING!

Try making a pop-up picture

that will surprise friends when they open it.

Let's make it!

We'll need some things from the Doodle Drawers!

Some thick paper, or some thin card.

Some coloured pens, and a pencil.

A ruler, and some scissors.

And a glue stick!

Whoa!

Now, to make a pop-up picture,

like this one, first we need to fold

a thick piece of paper,

or a thin piece of card, in half. And then...

pop it to one side, and get another piece of card.

If I put my ruler on the bottom of the page,

and then draw across that -

that should be just about right.

Now...

you can draw whatever you want to pop up on top of this line.

Choose whatever you like. As it's nearly my birthday,

I'm gonna draw a cake. Yeah! Yummy. Ha-ha.

So let's draw a cake shape

on this line.

Draw the bottom of the cake, like this.

It's got a bit of a wiggly line on top of it, like that,

because that's the cake's filling - the jam.

Then, another layer of sponge - gotta have another layer.

There it goes, on top, like that.

And this has got a wobbly line on top of it as well,

because this is the top of the cake,

which is the icing! Yeah.

There we go, let's put plenty of icing on.

Put candles on the cake.

Let's put the cake on a plate.

And then put the whole thing on a table top.

I need my ruler.

Draw a line on that side...

and then a line on the other side as well.

So our cake is on a table!

When you're happy with your picture,

you can start colouring it in!

Now we need to cut our cake out.

Along the top edge of the table, round the outside of the cake.

Be careful when you do this - scissors are sharp.

-GROWLING

-Oooh, careful! Ooh.

Now we're going to fold

our cake shape in half.

Like this.

Over it goes.

And if we open it up, we get a fold line there.

Nice. Now, very carefully, with our scissors,

we need to make a little snip,

up from the bottom, along that line. Just a little one.

Then if we turn the cake over,

we can make flaps, folding up...

here...

and here.

We can stick our cake into our card that we've folded,

by gluing along the flaps.

Open up the card...

and then stick the cake into the card, by putting it

in pop-up position,

and lining up the folds together, like that.

And if you then close the card,

it'll all stick into place.

And when it's dry, you can open it up, and...

Ta-da! It's a pop-up picture!

Fantastic. There's lots of ideas you can try too.

You could do a boat picture.

-Sailing on a wavy sea.

-BOAT HORN

Or maybe even a crazy monster picture,

with a funny face, and lots of teeth.

-GROWLING

-Pop-ups -

perfect for when you want something to...

-Pop up and surprise you!

-Exactly!

I couldn't have put that any better myself. Ha-ha.

Ha-ha. Oh.

-SNORING

-Who's that snoring?

Oh, it's the Shapes. They're asleep again.

Let's wake them up!

SQUARE SNUFFLES

Oh...oh!

CIRCLE GIGGLES

ALL SHOUT

ALL: Whee!

# 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 square. #

What are the squares making today?

Can you guess?

It's a squirrel!

Well done, square. Time to get back on the shelf!

ALL: Whee!

LAUGHTER

ALL: Oh! Oh! Oh!

SNORING

I just love the Shapes! They're brilliant!

-I think...

-Tocky here!

-Minute make time!

-It's minute make time. Come on!

Right, minute make time. Here's what we're gonna make.

A colourful, key-ring charm!

Perfect to hang on your bag, belt,

or lunchbox!

Now, to make one of these, you'll need...

a pipe cleaner,

some plastic coloured beads,

a key ring,

and a small plastic toy,

or button with a loop on the back of it, like this.

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

No way!

Oh, 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.

Are you ready? Great!

Let's make it in a minute! Start the clock!

Let's get our pipe cleaner,

and feed on a small plastic toy.

That's the rhino.

Let's put him round there, once or twice. There we go.

Brilliant. Turn it over, like that,

and start feeding on beads. I'm gonna start with

this small, dark-green one, there we go,

then one of these, slightly larger, light-green ones.

Use any colour beads you like, whatever shape and size.

-Halfway there!

-Ooh, no.

Ooh, they're going everywhere!

I need a big one now - that goes on there,

like that. Now another small one.

Oh, dear, I'm running out of time!

There we go.

One more big one should do it.

No, running out of time!

Now I need the key-ring loop.

I just need to loop it round, and round

and round, and round, like that!

There we go!

A fantastic...

key-ring charm.

-BUZZER

-Time!

Now all we need to do is attach it to our backpack, or our lunchbox!

If you've got more than a minute, make a football key-ring charm...

-CHEERING

-..in your favourite team's colours.

And a football button.

Or a multicoloured key charm,

with the star at the bottom.

A brilliant key-ring bag charm - made in a minute!

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

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

Attach an old toy or button to the pipe cleaner.

Feed lots of beads onto the pipe cleaner from the other end.

Twist on your key-ring loop

to finish your key-ring charm!

Why don't you try making it in a minute? Oooh.

ALL: We're here, Mister Maker!

Oh, hello, everyone!

ALL: Watch this!

Oh, should be fun! Wonder what they're up to?

LAUGHTER

I am grey.

I am orange.

I'm yellow.

I am pink.

I am purple.

ALL: It's a kite!

Well done, everybody. See you next time.

Now it's time to...

Frame it!

Frame it!

Frame it!

Now, take a look at this.

It's a rubbed-out picture of a city at night time.

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

You will need white paper,

a black chalk pastel, or a charcoal stick,

a pencil with a rubber,

or a small rubber.

First, cover the white paper with charcoal.

This can get a bit messy,

so make sure you do it on top of some newspaper, or old paper.

Now, using the rubber,

rub out rectangle, square and triangle shapes,

along the middle of the paper.

These are going to be the towers in our city picture.

Next, rub out a house shape at the front of the picture.

Give it a sloping, up-and-down roof, with a chimney.

Rub out window shapes in the towers,

leaving squares and rectangles of black as you do it.

Then rub out four squares to make a window

in the house at the front of your city picture.

Rub out the middle section

between the house and the towers in the background.

You could even add a little moon in the night sky.

It's a rubbed-out city at night.

What a brilliant picture! Why don't you have a go?

And then...

frame it!

Isn't it effective?

And now...

Look at this.

I've been sorting out all of my sea creatures.

I've got everything here.

I've got a whale.

A very nice starfish. And a lobster.

-SNAP!

-Ow!

You little nipper, you.

But I can't seem to find my favourite octopus, Ollie, anywhere.

Now, where can he be? Eh?

WHISTLING

Oooh, maybe he's over in the Doodle Drawers.

Oh, I hope not, how am I gonna find him in here?

Ollie?

OLLIE JABBERS

Ollie, is that you?

OLLIE JABBERS

Well, I don't care if you and your friends are having fun in there.

You can't stay there. You need to go somewhere else.

-JABBERING

-Somewhere fun, colourful!

Somewhere...

WATER SPLASHES

..watery.

-OLLIE GIGGLES

-Brrr!

Oh, this gives me a good idea though.

ZING!

Why not make a mini fish tank from a box

as a home for your very own sea creatures?!

Let's make it! We'll need some things from the Doodle Drawers!

A clear plastic box.

Brightly-coloured scouring pads and sponges.

Some scissors, and some gloopy PVA glue. Hoo-hoo!

And some felt-tip pens.

Whoa!

Now, we also need some googly eyes.

You can get those in an art and craft shop. I'll be back in a tick.

CAR ENGINE, TYRES SCREECH

I've got them!

Here we go.

Here are our googly eyes.

There.

To make your own sea-in-a-box,

like this one here, you'll first need to find

a clear plastic box, with a lid, like this.

Now, all sorts of things come in these plastic boxes.

Have a good look round your local supermarket,

and I'm sure you'll find one.

This one looks good. Let's get started.

Let's take off the lid,

and bring in a brightly-coloured scouring pad

because this is going to be the water.

Now, let's put our lid on top, then,

draw around it with a felt-tip pen.

There!

We need to cut this shape out,

-but be careful - scissors are sharp.

-GROWLING

Oooh. Ho-ho.

Place this...

into your plastic box,

like this, to make a watery background.

Now we need to make some sand,

and some seaweed. Now, you can make this

out of whatever you like,

but I'm going to use these scouring sponges.

I'm going to, very carefully, snip out this middle bit, OK?

Get the scissors.

Snip.

If we unravel it, it'll make our sandy seabed.

Now we can lay it into our box.

There. Brilliant. Now let's make some seaweed.

So, for that, we need... Ah! One of these green scouring sponges.

Very carefully, get our scissors,

and make a snip.

Let's cut this end off first.

There we go.

Now, if we pull this apart,

it looks like seaweed!

Very nice.

Now, how about a beautiful flower,

like this red one here?

Let's get a red scouring sponge,

and again, pull it apart.

And if we unravel it slightly,

it's a beautiful flower! Put it in.

I think down the bottom here would be good.

There! Now it's starting to take shape.

But something's missing.

Oh, I know! A sea creature!

Let's make...

an octopus! For that,

we'll need a thin, coloured sponge,

like this green one here - that'll look good -

and let's get a felt-tip in the same colour. A green one.

OK, let's draw a nice big, round head.

And some wiggly legs.

And we can also add some extra details with our pen as well.

We can give our octopus a tongue,

by bringing in a tongue-coloured sponge, like this pink one here,

and using a pink felt-tip pen to draw it. Then, carefully,

cut these out.

Let's glue them together,

and add some googly eyes with some glue!

Brilliant! There's our octopus.

Let's put him in his nice new home.

Fantastic. Let's put the lid on.

And there we go. Fantastic!

But you don't just have to give a home to an octopus.

It could be a starfish.

This is made using a yellow sponge, cut into a star shape.

Or maybe some exotic fish.

This is made using lots of different colours and types of sponge.

Let's take a closer look.

Why don't you have a go at making your own sea-in-a-box? Hee-hee!

Oh, hello, Sid!

SEAHORSE SQUEAKS

Whoa!

Hee-hee!

-Whoo-hoo-hoo!

-SEAHORSE SQUEAKS

It's great in here. And the best thing about it is...

you don't get wet at all!

-Time to go!

-Ooh!

Time to go!

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

But yours is just beginning.

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