Hello, there. Great to see you again.

Look what I've just had sent to me.

It's a parcel. Ooh, how exciting.

It says here it's from Granny Maker.

Oh, good old Granny. She always sends such great presents.

What could it be?

Maybe it's a book, or a toy, or a cake.

Or...

Oh! A huge multi-coloured patterned jumper?

Oh, well. I suppose I'd better try it on.

Ha ha! Yeah...

It's a little on the large side.

It's quite a strange design.

It's got lots of different patterns all over it.

And that gives me a great idea.

Let's try something.

Try making a patchwork pattern using different types of colourful paper.

Let's make it.

We'll need some things from the Doodle Drawers,

but I'd better take this jumper off first. I'll get too hot.

That's better. Let's go.

A piece of coloured paper and some scissors.

A ruler, a pencil and a glue stick.

And one, two, three, four different types

of coloured patterned paper.

Wow!

Now, to make a patchwork pattern like this one here,

you need to get a piece of patterned paper and turn it over,

like this.

Then get your ruler

and lay it along the bottom edge, like this.

Now we're going to take a pencil

and very carefully, draw a line along the top of the ruler.

This will give us a strip that's as wide as the ruler.

Now, take the ruler again

and just sit it on top of the line you've drawn.

And again, do the same.

Draw a line.

That will give us another strip. Perfect!

Carry on drawing lines all the way to the top of the paper.

Now we need to cut these strips out.

But be careful, scissors are sharp!

SCISSORS SNARL AND SNAP

Then, draw lines across your strips, like this.

These lines, again, need to be about as wide as your ruler,

so if we sit the ruler on the bottom there and draw a line,

this will give us a square.

Great. Now carry on drawing lines all the way up the strip

and you're ready to cut the squares out.

And do the same on the other strips

and of course your other pieces of coloured patterned paper.

Now you should have four piles

of different coloured and different patterned paper.

Let's move these over here and then take a piece of coloured paper.

We're going to choose a square from a pile. How about...?

Yes, this red one.

We're going to glue it in the middle of the paper.

There.

Now we need to choose squares from a different pile.

We're going to glue them around the edge of this first square.

So that's here, here, here and here.

It's looking good. Now we're going to choose squares from another pile

and glue them around the edges here.

Let's do the same now with our fourth pile of squares.

Of course, we're sticking them all the way round the edge

of our last colour.

You can make your patchwork pattern as big as you like.

Let's start again with that first colour,

which was the red square in the middle.

Start laying them around the edge. Don't worry if you run out of space

on the edges of your paper like this.

You can just leave a gap and carry on round the other side.

When you're happy, glue it all down.

And there you have it.

A brilliant patchwork pattern!

And you could try using different types of patterned paper, like this.

Or you could make a really big pattern, oooh,

with different types of paper.

It's up to you. You can make anything into a pattern,

just like Granny Maker and her delightful knitted jumper.

-PHONE RINGS

-I wonder who that could be.

Hello? Oh, hello, Granny.

Yes, I got your parcel. Thank you. It was...um...quite unusual.

Does it fit? Um...

WHIRRING

I'll have to call you back.

There's a strange noise coming from the shelves.

Thanks again. Bye.

Phew! Come on.

Ah, I knew it. It's just the Shapes, and they're asleep again.

Let's wake them up!

Ah!

He-he-he-hey! Hey!

Awww, heeey, aaah, yeah!

MUSIC 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 rectangle

How many rectangles can you see?

One,

two,

three,

four,

five, six,

seven, eight,

nine,

ten.

That's right, there are ten rectangles.

Well done, rectangle. It's time to get back on the shelf.

-Weee!

-He he he!

-Ha ha ha!

-Oooh!

-Wooop!

-Ooh!

-He he!

-He he.

-Oh dear.

That was a great puzzle. Those shapes are clever, aren't they? Oh!

Tocky here. Minute-make time!

Ooh, it's minute-make time. Come on!

Here's what we're going to make today. A pencil bug.

Mr Pencil Bug, I'm WOOLLY pleased to see you! He he!

To make one of these, you will need...

some sticky tack,

a pair of scissors,

a glue stick,

a pencil,

a short piece of wool

and a very long piece of wool.

We'll also need some googly eyes.

You can get these from an art and craft shop. Back in a tick.

CAR ENGINE

I've got them.

Here they are.

Our googly eyes.

Do you think it's possible to make this...

in just one minute?

No way!

I think I can. I'll have to be very quick, but don't worry,

I'll remind you how to do it at the end.

Start the clock!

Here we go.

Get the long piece of wool

and wrap it around your hand, like this.

Round and round it goes.

And then carefully slide it off your hand,

get the small piece of wool, tie it in the middle

like that.

There we go.

Tie it nice and tight.

There. Then get a pair of scissors

and very carefully cut through the loops on both sides.

There's one side.

Here's the other side now.

There we go. That gives us a fluffy bug.

Now we need to glue on these googly eyes, like this.

There's one googly eye,

there's the other googly eye.

Then if we get our sticky tack on the end of our pencil,

we can push it onto our pencil bug!

Phew, I made it!

BUZZER Only just!

Yes! If you've got more than a minute,

you can make all sorts of pencil bugs.

How about a brilliant blue one?

Or this big one made of multi-coloured wool?

Pencil bugs made in a minute. Why don't you try and make one?

Here's a reminder of how to do it.

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

Wrap a long piece of wool around your hand

and carefully take it off.

Tie a smaller piece of wool around the middle.

Cut the wool around the edges and glue on googly eyes.

Stick it on the pencil with sticky tack

to complete your woolly pencil bug.

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

We're here, Mister Maker!

Oh, hello, everyone.

-Watch this!

-I wonder what they're up to.

I am red.

I am pink.

I am green.

I am peach.

I'm yellow.

It's a cake!

Well done, everybody. See you next time. Now it's time to...

frame it.

Frame it.

Frame it.

Now, take a look at this.

This night time picture is made in a really clever way,

and it looks so effective, you'll be able to frame it.

You will need coloured card, dark paper, white chalk,

black paint, a pencil and a paintbrush.

First, paint a thick layer of black paint all over the card

and leave it to dry.

Then take a piece of dark-coloured paper

and completely cover it with white chalk.

Place the chalk side down on top of the dry, painted card,

and now you can draw a night-time picture in a very clever way.

Draw whatever you want.

This is going to be a cat,

outside in the moonlight.

Add a long fence,

and the moon,

and let's add a tree.

Then slowly lift it off to reveal where

the white chalk has rubbed onto the black painted card underneath,

giving you a fantastic effect.

What a brilliant picture.

Why don't you have a go, and then...

frame it!

Isn't that clever?

OWL HOOTS

Now, what's going on here?

TYRES SCREECH

Ha ha!

Have a look at my teeny, tiny car here.

It's brilliant.

And if you think that's good take a look at this.

Here he is.

It's my mini Mister Maker.

Let's make it! Ha ha!

I love playing with teeny tiny toys.

Which gives me a great idea.

Let's make something.

Make yourself a marvellous miniature garden.

It's not big,

but it's very clever.

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

A green paper plate and some pipe cleaners.

A pencil, some modelling clay and some coloured card.

Lollypop sticks and twigs.

Sticky tape, glue and red stickers.

Some flower-shaped buttons and a toy duck!

-DUCK QUACKS

-Really? Great!

Whoa! Now, to make a tiny garden,

like this one here which has a path, a pond with a duck swimming in it,

a flowerbed, a fence and some lovely trees.

Let's start off by getting a blue piece of card like this...

We're going to draw a squiggly shape with a pencil for our pond.

That looks good! Now, we'll get a green piece of card.

We'll draw two cloud shapes.

These will be the top of our trees.

Great! Now we can cut these shapes out but be careful,

because scissors are sharp!

-SNAPPING

-Ooh!

Now, glue the blue squiggly pond

in the middle of the plate.

Now we need to get some grey modelling clay,

and we're going to roll a few, tiny balls like this...

These balls are going to help us make a tiny path.

Gently squeeze them onto the plate,

like this...

Lovely!

Now, let's get some brown modelling clay.

We need to roll a long sausage shape.

And we'll mould and squidge it

to the back of the plate to make a flowerbed.

Then, carefully snap three of your lolly sticks in half.

You might want to ask an adult to help you. It's a bit tricky.

Now bring in two whole lolly sticks,

like this, and lay them down.

Then start to glue all the pieces of lolly stick across,

to make a fence.

When the fence is dry

carefully push it into the back of your flowerbed.

There we go. Lovely.

Now...let's take the two curvy tree shapes

we cut out earlier

and stick two twigs onto the back.

A little twig for the little one

and a large twig for the large tree.

And now we have two trees.

They look really good, but we can make them even better

by adding some red stickers for apples.

There we go.

Two lovely apple trees.

Let's stick them into our garden.

I think I'll put the big tree at the back.

And the smaller one just in front.

Fantastic! Our garden is starting to take shape,

but now we need to plant some flowers in our flowerbed.

First, we need some green pipe cleaners

and just very carefully snip them into small pieces.

Now you've got your pieces of pipe cleaner

you need to find a flower-shaped button

like this.

Turn it over - there's a little loop in the back

in which you can push the pipe cleaner through.

Fold it over to make a little, tiny flower.

Don't worry if you haven't got flower-shaped buttons.

You can draw and cut out a flower shape on coloured card,

make a little hole in the middle and push the pipe cleaner through.

When you've got your flowers, bring back your garden

and start planting your flowers in the flowerbed.

Wow! Isn't that amazing?!

Why not float something on the pond

like a teeny-tiny boat or...

a little toy duck?

-Quack!

-Aw...

Look at it. A wonderful, terrific, tiny garden.

You can make any type of tiny world that you like.

How about this tiny jungle?

It's got lots of card leaves and pipe cleaner trees

-with a toy tiger.

-Rrrr!

Or you could even try making another tiny garden

on a bigger tray. Instead of a fence

it's got a lolly stick bench.

Time to go!

Oh! That means 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.
