Oh, hello, there! Great to see you again.

DOORBELL RINGS

Oh! I wonder who that could be?

There's a parcel for me!

Wow! It's a huge present! How exciting!

Let's unwrap it! Ha-ha!

It's a...

grape! There's a note with it.

"Hello, I hope you're well. I was eating a lovely bunch of grapes

"and I thought you might like one. Lots of love, Auntie Mildred."

Oh, well, thanks, Auntie Mildred! Mmm, very nice!

But I think you might have used too much wrapping paper.

Still, all this wrapping paper gives me a great idea.

Let's try something!

Try making a brilliant, brightly coloured wrapping-paper picture.

Let's make it! As well as some wrapping paper

we'll need some other things from the Doodle Drawers.

Some white stickers...

..some coloured paper...

..a pen and a ruler...

..and some glue and some scissors!

Now, to make a brilliant coloured wrapping-paper picture,

like this one here.

First get yourself a piece of brightly-coloured paper.

This can be whatever colour you like but I think this orange

will look good, because this is going to be our background.

Then take a different colour piece of paper and cut a strip

to run across the bottom, like this.

Now be every careful, because scissors are sharp.

Glue it into place.

There! Lovely! Now let's put a sun in the sky!

For that we need to draw round something that's round,

like the outside of a paper cup.

Let's cut it out very carefully.

There's our sun, so let's glue it in position.

There! Now for the fun bit!

Let's get some scraps of coloured wrapping paper and

we can draw whatever we want onto it!

This is going to be an elephant. Let's start with a curvy body,

and a long trunk. Four legs...

..and, of course, a funny tail!

And we can draw the ears on a different scrap of wrapping paper.

This will make our elephant look really colourful.

Now let's cut all of our elephant parts out!

Now you can glue your elephant down onto the background paper.

Now we can give our elephant some eyes, with white stickers.

Make these eyes really stand out by getting a black pen

and putting a dot in the middle for a pupil

and giving them a nice outline.

And you can add something else to the picture.

Let's add a brightly-coloured mouse!

Let's grab some other scraps

of wrapping paper in different colours and draw a tear drop shape

for the mouse's body. There we go!

Now let's draw the ears and the tail

on a completely different coloured paper.

There's one ear, two ears and a tail.

Now let's carefully cut out all of our mouse parts.

Then glue the mouse onto your picture.

Add a white sticker for its eye,

again, with your black pen, add a pupil in the middle

and draw around the outline. There! Doesn't it look fantastic!

And the great thing is that you can use all sorts

of different wrapping paper to create all sorts

of different hilarious pictures! The brighter the better.

Take a look at these!

This is a cuddly cat sitting on a cosy cushion

with a little spotty bird.

Or how about this tall, stripy dog, and his sausage dog friend?

They're all great ideas,

but I think the elephant and mouse picture is my favourite.

MOUSE SQUEAKS

ELEPHANTS ROARS

Oh, Mr Elephant, wait, come back!

It's only a mouse! I don't know! Oh, what's that snoring sound?

We know, don't we? Come on!

It's the Shapes! They're asleep again!

Let's wake them up!

SHAPES GRUNT AND SNORE

Ooh!

Hey-hey-hey! Wha-hey!

TOGETHER: Whoa, hey, a-ya!

# 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's hiding in the squares?

Can you guess?

It's a butterfly! Well done, Square!

Time to get back on the shelf.

ALL: Whee! He-he-he! Ha-ha-ha!

THEY GIGGLE

Those shapes are fantastic!

And they deserve a little sleep, don't they?

Tocky, here! Minute-make time!

Oh! Great! It's minute-make time! Come on!

Here's what we're going to make today! Brilliant bugs on a stick!

And for this you will need... a stick!

And some pipe cleaners that have been cut into 18 small pieces.

We'll also need some air-drying clay and some googly eyes.

You can get these from an art and craft shop.

I'll be back in a tick!

CAR ENGINE REVS

I've got them! Here they are! Let's have a look.

We've got one large ball, one medium-sized ball

and one small ball. We've also got six googly eyes,

they're made up of two large googly eyes,

two medium-sized ones and then two smaller ones.

Great! Now, do you think it's possible to make this...

in just one minute?

No way!

Really, Tocky? Well, I think I can do it,

although I will have to be very quick.

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!

Get your stick and then squidge on the balls of clay,

large one at the front, middle-sized one in the middle,

small one on the end. Then start putting in the legs.

Six legs for each creature, three on each side.

There we go! Get these in quickly as possible!

There we go! In you go, brilliant!

Three for this one, squidge it down more.

Now the other side, here we go.

Three legs here.

Faster, faster!

I'm going as quick as I can, Tocky!

There we go, and now to put on the eyes.

Two big eyes for the big bug,

two medium-sized eyes for the medium-sized bug

and two small eyes for the small bug.

-I've done it!

-Only just!

Phew! That was close, wasn't it? If you've got more than a minute

you can paint your bugs on a stick and cover them in a layer of gloopy,

PVA glue, to make them even stronger! In fact, you can decorate

your bugs however you like! These bugs have been painted

in different colours and covered in glitter! Oh, very sparkly!

Bugs on sticks, 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 and take another look!

Push three different size balls of clay onto a stick...

..then push short bits of pipe cleaner into the clay for the legs.

Finally, stick on googly eyes to finish your bugs on a stick!

Why don't you try and make it, in a minute? Ha-ha!

CHILDREN: Hey, Mister Maker, guess what we're making today!

I don't know! Show us!

I'm dark blue!

I am red!

I am grey!

I am green!

I am orange!

I am brown!

I am black!

I'm light blue!

CHILDREN: It's a canal boat!

Well done, everyone! See you soon!

Now it's time to...frame it!

Frame it!

Frame it!

Now take a look at this.

This seaside picture is made from old things

you can find in your kitchen. It's fun to do and looks so good

you'll be able to frame it!

You'll need some thick card, glue, scissors, kitchen roll,

kitchen scourers, a dish cloth, blue rubber gloves and a duster.

First glue a dish cloth to the top half of a piece of card like this.

Then glue a duster to the bottom half.

Carefully cut off the extra material round the edges

and glue on the rubber gloves to make the scene.

Tear small pieces of kitchen roll, these are going to be the waves.

Glue them on to your rubber gloves to make your scene look frothy!

Now carefully cut shapes from scouring pads to make a sun,

a boat

and a bucket and spade! Then stick everything down with gloopy glue.

It's a wonderful seaside scene!

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

And then...frame it!

GULLS CRY

Isn't that a great idea? Now what shall we look at next?

I'm just reading in this book

all about different animals in the world. If you could be an animal,

or a different type of creature, what would you be? Hmm!

I think I'd be a brilliant bird, flying through the clouds,

but there's only one problem with that... I can't fly!

Whoa!

Oh, no, I don't think that I'd make a very good bird after all,

although it does give me a great idea!

Let's make something!

Why not make your own brilliant bird's nest out of string?

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

Some string and an old plastic bowl.

Some paints...

..some pompoms...

..some PVA gloopy glue and some shredded tissue paper...

..orange card, white stickers and a pen.

Ho-ho! Now to make a brilliant, brightly-coloured bird's nest,

like this one here. You first have to start off

with three bowls.

There's one, two and three. Now in these three bowls

we're going to put a large bundle of string in each one.

Now we need to add our paint.

You can choose what ever colours you like

but I'm going to choose green, red and yellow.

Let's put some green in the first bowl, now the red

and the yellow in the third bowl.

And now into each bowl we're going to add a dollop of gloopy glue!

Now let's give them all a mix!

We'll move our bowls over to here,

and then we're going to bring in an old plastic bowl, like this.

Now make sure you check with an adult first that it's OK to use it,

then turn it upside down on a tray, like this.

Then we're going to cover the whole bowl in special gloopy string!

Let's start with the green string.

Now we can add the red and the yellow, but it's a good idea,

because I've got such mucky fingers, to wipe your hands first!

Make sure you cover the bowl in layers of different colour string...

..like this! Then you can leave it to dry overnight.

Goodnight!

COCKEREL CROWS

Morning! Ha-ha! When it's all dry, you can very carefully

push the bowl out, there we are,

and you're left with a lovely nest!

Ho-ho! All that's missing now is a bird. Hmm!

Here it is! And to make a bird, you need two pompoms.

Now it looks good if you use one large one and one small one.

We're going to glue those together, there we go.

Now we can add some eyes to our bird by using white stickers.

Add black dots, with a pen, for pupils and stick them on.

All that's missing now is the bird's beak. So for that we need

a piece of orange card. And we're going to cut out a triangle-shape.

Be careful, though, cos scissors are sharp.

And then stick it on to your bird.

Now you can put your bird into its new home.

So let's bring our nest back in, and make it nice and comfortable

by adding some lovely soft, shredded tissue paper,

and then the bird can sit in the middle!

Lovely! A beautiful bird in its brilliant new home.

And you can also try some other ideas.

How about a glittery bird's nest?

Made by sprinkling glitter on your gloopy string.

Or even a really big bird's nest with lots of birds in it.

Oh, great!

Time to go!

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!
