Hello there. Great to see you again.

I'm just finishing off this picture of a dog.

Here we go. There, all done.

What do you think?

It's not bad, is it? But it needs some extra magic.

I love it when art comes alive and leaps out off the page.

Oh, no, my dog's leapt right off the page.

I think he might have been barking mad.

But I tell you what, he's given me a great idea.

Let's try something!

Try making a paper plate picture.

Clever folding will make your drawings stand out.

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

Some coloured card and a pen.

A paper plate.

A white sticker and a glue stick.

And a pair of scissors.

Now to make a plate picture like this one here,

with a super sea monster,

you need a coloured paper plate.

You can choose any colour you like.

I think a red one will look rather nice.

Now, get a blue piece of paper or card,

and draw a round puddle shape, like this.

Now this is going to be the sea.

Cut it out very carefully,

but be careful because scissors are sharp.

SIGN GROWLS LIKE A DOG

Now stick your sea to your plate with glue, like this.

Now, to make the hedge at the back here,

take a piece of green paper or card, and draw a cloud shape like this.

Now, very carefully, cut this shape out.

Now we're going to turn this shape over and fold up the bottom edge.

This makes a flap, and if we glue along this flap

we can stick our hedge to the plate.

Now for the sea monster.

We need some monster-coloured card.

You can choose any colour,

but I think we should use yellow.

Let's start drawing all our monster body parts.

Now remember to start your drawing at the bottom edge of your paper

because we'll be doing more folding later.

Let's draw a nice big head shape.

Now for the body. Let's draw a half circle shape,

with another smaller one inside it.

And, of course, a tail shape.

When you're happy with your monster body parts, carefully cut them out.

When you've cut out all your monster parts,

why not give it some extra detail with a pen?

You could do stripes, spots or whatever you like, really.

And don't forget to give your monster an eye,

with a white sticker and a black dot.

And why not add a smile? There we go.

When you're happy with all your parts, turn them over

and once again fold up the bottom edge to make flaps.

When you've folded your pieces and made flaps,

glue your monster into place.

And when it's finished, it looks like this.

Isn't it fantastic?!

And you could try some other pictures too.

How about a car?

It's made by cutting out a house, a bush and a car.

Or maybe a ship at sea.

It's made by drawing a boat, some waves and a sun behind them.

SHIP'S HORN BLARES

Paper plate pictures, a real monster of an idea.

-Why, thank you.

-My pleasure!

Ha ha... Hey?

Who's that snoring?

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

Let's wake them up.

Woah, hey, ha, yeah!

Whoo!

-# 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 picture are the triangles going to make?

What could it be?

It's a parrot. Well done, triangle.

Time to get back on the shelf.

-Whee!

-Ha-ha!

I love the Shapes, they're so funny. Did you see...?

Tocky here, Minute Make time!

It's Minute Make time, come on everyone.

It's Minute Make time, and here's what we're going to make today.

A cotton bud sheep. Look at him, he's fantastic!

Now to make a cotton bud sheep, you will need some cottons buds,

scissors, a sharp pencil

and some air-drying clay that you can get from an art and craft shop.

I'll be back in a tick.

I've got them!

There's my air-drying clay.

Now, do you think it's possible to make this in just one minute?

No way!

Well, I think I can. Let's find out.

I'm going to have to be quick,

but 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 get two lumps of clay and roll them into balls,

one's big and one's small. That's good.

Now we need two cotton buds

and, very carefully, I'm going to cut them in half.

And with the other two,

I'm just going to cut off the fluffy ends.

There they go. And the other two...

There we go, brilliant!

And I've got a bit left over there in the middle.

If I get the big piece of clay and push the half buds in,

these are going to be the legs.

Half way!

Half way already? Oh no!

There we go, that should stand up.

Brilliant, there's the body.

Come on, stand up, Mr Sheep!

With this bit, that's going to be the neck.

If I push the smaller ball on, there's his head.

Come on, slow coach!

There we go. And an ear on that side and a little tail.

And with a sharp pencil, I just need to give him a face.

There we go! I've done it!

Lucky, lucky, lucky.

Phew! Just made it.

When it's dry, and you've got more than a minute

you can paint it, like our little sheep here.

And how about trying some other animals?

You could try making a pig with a cotton bud snout.

Or how about a chicken with a cotton bud beak?

Cotton bud creatures, made in a minute.

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

Let's go back and take another look.

Roll a small and a large ball of clay.

Cut two cotton buds in half, and with two more,

just cut off the fluffy ends, leaving the middle piece behind.

Push four buds into the large ball for feet,

use the middle piece as a neck and stick the head on.

Add two cotton buds for ears, one for a tail,

and give it a face with a pencil to finish your cotton bud creature.

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

Hello, Mister Maker, guess what we're making today?

Oh, I don't know! Let's find out.

I'm grey.

I am black.

I'm yellow.

I'm light blue.

I am brown.

I am green.

It's a tractor!

Well done, everyone. See you next time.

Now it's time to...

..frame it!

Frame it!

Frame it!

Now, take a look at this.

This is a really simple way to turn any picture into a winter picture.

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

You will need some dark blue paper, PVA glue, paintbrushes,

coloured paint and a black pen.

To make your winter picture, start by drawing the edge of the ground

onto the blue paper, using a black pen.

Then add the outline of a house.

You could add a fence, and maybe a tree.

Time to add some colour.

Let's use yellow and red for the house,

and green and brown for the garden.

Now add white paint with a small paintbrush wherever snow would fall.

The top of the roof, along the edge of the windows...

..on the fence and on top of the tree.

Don't forget the grass.

Let's dab some falling snow in the background.

And there you have it, a beautiful winter picture.

What a brilliant picture. Why don't you have a go, and then frame it?

Isn't that effective? Now for something really special.

I've got something to show you.

Watch this!

These are my footprints and they've got a mind of their own.

Go on, then, off you go.

Can you guess what the footprints are making?

What could it be?

Any ideas yet?

It's an owl.

Well done, footprints.

SIREN BLARES

Up periscope.

Oh, yes, shipmates, I can see land.

I can see... Wait a minute, who's that?

Oh, it's you. I was just playing behind the sofa.

I'm pretending that this is my submarine

and I'm the submarine captain.

Look, I've even got my own periscope.

This helps me find things.

I'm looking for my lost pencils at the moment.

Maybe you can help me and my submarine find them.

OK, let's do it. I'm coming back aboard!

Dive, dive, dive!

Where are they?

Well, they're not on the table. No, that's empty.

They're not on there.

Hang on a minute! Zoom in, please.

Hooray! We've found the pencils!

Thanks for your help, everyone.

That was great fun, and it's given me a great idea.

A super submarine that's also a pencil case.

Let's make it!

We'll need some things from the Doodle Drawers.

A plastic fabric conditioner bottle with a nice, wide neck and a lid.

A washing ball with a flat bottom.

Plastic containers and pots.

Some paint, some tissue paper and a black pen.

And some masking tape and some gloopy PVA glue.

To make your very own submarine pencil case like this one here,

you first have to get an adult to help you

thoroughly clean and dry out a fabric conditioner bottle

and all of the other plastic containers.

Now make sure you've got a plastic pot with a lid like this one here

and also a small plastic bottle with a flip-up lid like that.

Let's start putting all of our bits together.

Let's put the fabric conditioner bottle here.

That's going to be our submarine's body.

And let's put the pot on this end here, at the back.

And let's take the washing ball and put it on the end of that pot.

The plastic bottle with the flip-up lid,

that goes here, where our periscope will be.

And so our pencil case can stand up, let's put the lid on the bottom.

Great! Everything's in position now, so we can stick it together

with some masking tape. You can put on as much tape as you like

but make sure that you don't put any

over this open end of the washing ball

because that's where all our pencil sharpeners and rubbers are going.

Now we can cover it in a layer of gloopy glue and tissue paper.

You could use strips of yellow tissue paper like this,

or any colour you like, really.

Now, the more layers of tissue paper you put on, the better it will look.

Add as many layers as you want and then leave it to dry.

And when it's dry, you can paint on some details.

How about some porthole windows and some stripes on the side?

Now cover your plastic lids with a special mixture that's half paint

and half gloopy glue.

Let's give it a mix.

Finally, when your submarine is all nice and dry,

you can add some extra details with a black pen.

Doesn't it look great?

Now all we need to do is pop some pencils

into our new submarine pencil case.

And I know just where those pencils are. Won't be a tick.

I've got them!

Now, we can put anything we like in our new pencil case.

We could put big things, like these pencils, in this end.

And we could put smaller things, like these rubbers, in this end.

Fantastic! Now I'll never lose them again.

ALARM BLARES

My pencils! Where have they gone this time?

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.
