Hello there! Great to see you again.

I'm having a tidy up.

I always pride myself on having a lovely, neat and tidy home.

AEROPLANE ENGINE ROARS

Ooh! My tissue paper!

What was it that made that noise that made me jump?

Oh, look! It's an amazing aeroplane!

Wait a minute - amazing aeroplanes and terrific tissue paper?

That gives me a great idea.

Let's try something!

Try making a perfect parachute mobile,

where you can be the skydiver.

Let's make it!

We'll need some things from the doodle drawers, come on!

Some coloured paper and a black pen.

A ball of modelling clay, a sharp pencil,

and a paper or polystyrene bowl.

Some sticky tape and some glue.

Some wool and some tissue paper.

And finally, a picture of yourself!

Whoa!

Now, to make your very own parachute mobile,

complete with your own skydiver, like this handsome chap here,

we have to start off by drawing a body shape

on some coloured paper or card.

First, draw a head-shape,

this one's going to have pointy hair, like mine.

Then draw two arms sticking up in the air,

and two legs with boots on the end.

Now we can cut this body-shape out, but be careful, scissors are sharp.

Then stick on thin strips of coloured paper, like this,

onto the body-shape.

These are going to be the straps on the skydiver's suit.

Stick them all on and trim off the extra bits.

Now you're ready to turn your skydiver into anyone you want.

Very carefully, cut just the head part off a photograph

and stick it on top of your body, on the head-shape here.

Now for the parachute!

For that, we need to make a hole in the centre of our bowl, about here.

For that we're going to use a ball of modelling clay

and a sharp pencil.

Put the modelling clay down first, put the bowl on top,

and then, very carefully, push our pencil through the bowl,

into the clay, that makes a hole. Excellent!

We need to make another four holes now.

I'm gonna make one here, here, here, and here.

Take four pieces of wool, these need to be the same length, there we go,

and we're going to tie a big knot at the end of each piece.

Now we need to carefully thread these pieces of wool

through the holes at the edge of the bowl,

so the pieces hang underneath, like this.

This is a little tricky, so you can always ask an adult to help you.

When you've threaded the wool through the holes in the edges,

tie a knot in along the piece of wool

to go through the hole in the centre of the bowl.

But this time, thread it the other way, like this,

so that this piece of wool can hold up your bowl.

Now we need to cover the bowl with a piece of tissue paper.

Any colour will do, but I think green will look good.

Before we cover it, we need to make another hole in the middle.

So, let's get our modelling clay,

and gently push the pencil through. There we go, there's our hole.

This will help us thread our wool through.

Great.

Make sure the wool pieces on the edges are pulled out,

then we can wrap the tissue paper round

and stick it into position with sticky tape.

Next, we need to attach our skydiver to the parachute.

So, take two bits of wool from one side of the bowl

to the back of the nearest hand,

and do the same on the other side.

And when it's finished, turn it over.

And now, you can hang it up wherever you like.

Brilliant! And why not try some other ideas?

You can skydive in your favourite outfit, like this one!

Or why not try a rocket, flying through space?

Or even a skydiving elephant, using a bigger bowl for its parachute.

And it gives me another fantastic idea!

Are you ready? One, two, three!

Wow!

Ha-ha!

This is great fun! But I'd better get back home!

Oof! Hey! Who turned out the lights?

Oh look, The shapes are asleep again.

Let's wake them up!

SHAPE SNORES

Ah!

Hey, hey, whoa!

Oh! Hey! Ah! Oop!

# 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 are the triangles making today?

Any ideas yet?

It's a witch!

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

Wheeeee!

Ha-ha-ha! Oh-oh-oh!

That was a great puzzle today, those Shapes are so clever, you know.

Tocky, here! Minute-make time!

It's minute-make time! Come on!

Here's what we're going to make today.

A bubble bag! Great for keeping all your bits and pieces inside.

Very nice. And to make one of these, you will need...

a pair of scissors,

a glue stick,

some circles of felt,

a long shoelace,

a large rectangle of felt,

a hole-punch and a bubble envelope.

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

No way!

Well, I think I can do it, Tocky!

Although I will have to be very quick.

Don't worry, though, I'll remind you how to do it at the end.

Let's make it in a minute!

Let's get our bubble envelope, and very carefully, with some scissors,

trim off this top end like this. We go all the way down.

And then we're going to get our hole-punch,

and make holes at the open end, like that.

Let's get our shoelace and feed it through the holes, like this.

Then we're going to tie a knot on the other end, here we go.

Let's tie a knot.

You're KNOT going to do it!

Very funny, Tocky, I get it, KNOT, yeah, very funny!

There's our knot, OK, let's put some glue on here.

And we're going to put on first of all our rectangle of felt,

On it goes.

And then we're gonna put our big circle on next.

Then we put on our medium-sized circle

Then we put on our small circle,

And we are finished!

ALARM BELL RINGS

Only just!

And if you've got more than a minute,

you can make all sorts of bubble bags!

This one is made with felt stripes.

And this one has a checked pattern.

Bubble bags! 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.

First, take a bubble envelope and punch holes through the open end.

Thread a long shoelace through the holes to make handles,

and tie knots in the ends.

Glue on a large sheet of felt,

and decorate it with felt shapes,

to finish your bubble bag.

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

We're here, Mister Maker!

Oh, hello, everyone!

Watch this!

I am brown.

I'm dark blue.

I am green.

I am red.

I am grey.

I'm yellow.

I'm light blue

I am black.

It's a go-kart!

Well done everyone, see you soon! Now it's time to...

Frame it!

Frame it!

Frame it!

Now, take a look at this.

What a brilliant tissue paper snail.

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

You will need coloured card,

tissue paper,

PVA gloopy glue,

a pen, a paintbrush,

scissors and some googly eyes.

Use lots of different colours of tissue paper,

and scrunch it into little balls.

Then use a pen to draw a picture, this is going to be a snail.

Cover the snail's body with gloopy glue.

And stick tissue paper balls all over it.

Cover the snail's shell with glue.

Use different coloured tissue paper balls,

and stick them around the shell in a spiral shape.

Fill in the spaces on the rest of the shell

in another colour of tissue paper.

Cut out a mouth shape from some card,

and stick it down.

Finally, glue on two googly eyes to finish your snail.

Doesn't that look fantastic?

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

Frame it!

Very impressive! Now, what's going on here?

I'm looking at the night sky through my telescope.

There's the North Star,

and there's the Plough.

The night sky is so beautiful.

I love it when the moon shines brightly

and the stars twinkle down from up on high.

Oh, look. Even wise old Mr Owl likes it too.

And that gives me a great idea!

Let's make something!

Try making twinkling twigs and a pine-cone owl.

Sparkly.

Let's make it!

We'll need some things from the doodle drawers! Come on!

Some twigs and a pine-cone...

..some glitter and a pencil...

..gloopy PVA glue and a glue-stick...

..some coloured paper and an old plastic lid.

Whoa! Now, we also need some googly eyes and some air-drying clay.

We can get these from an arts and crafts shop. Back in a tick!

CAR ENGINE REVS

I've got them!

Here we are, there are two googly eyes.

and here's the air-drying clay.

Now you can make your very own twinkling twigs

that's a perfect home for a woodland creature.

Start off by moulding your air-drying clay

into a plastic lid, like this.

Squeeze it down, and push it all the way out to the edges.

We're doing this

because it's going to hold all of our twinkling twigs in place.

Now we can start arranging our twigs.

You can arrange them however you like,

but how about we start with this nice big twig here,

and push it into the clay at the front?

Now we can start with some other twigs.

How about we get this rather tall twig and push it in at the back?

Now, you'll notice that some of my twigs have dried leaves on them.

These look great, it really adds to the effect.

Choose as many twigs as you like,

push them into the clay and leave it to dry.

Then, to make your twigs twinkle,

stand your clay base on some old paper or...

an old tray,

and cover the whole thing in gloopy glue.

And now for the fun bit, shake on some glitter.

And once it's covered in glitter,

shake any extra glitter off, and leave it to dry again.

Once your twinkling twigs are dry,

you can make a woodland creature to go in them, like this pine-cone owl.

So, let's get some coloured paper,

and draw a curvy shape, like this.

Now, on some different-coloured paper,

draw the same curvy shape, but a bit smaller.

And last, but not least, get a piece of yellow paper, like this,

and draw a triangle. This is gonna be the beak for our owl.

Now we can cut all of our pieces out,

but be careful, because scissors are sharp.

Ooh! Ooh-ooh!

Now, glue the pieces together to make the owl's eyes and beak.

Like this!

Then, as a finishing touch, let's add two googly eyes.

There's one, and there's two. It's the face of our owl.

We can stick it onto our pine-cone with some gloopy glue.

Finally, glue your owl onto the big twig at the front

using lots of gloopy glue.

You might want to hold your owl in position as it starts to dry.

And when everything is dry,

gently take the clay out of the lid, like this!

And there! Look at it!

Isn't it sparkly?!

And you can even try making other things twinkle

amongst your twinkling twigs.

How about making a lot of twinkling twigs?

With a pine-cone and card fox, and a little conker robin.

Why don't you try making your very own twinkling twigs?

A perfect present for your friends and family. Oh!

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!
