-CHUCKLING

-Oh, hello! Great to see you.

I'm having a rummage in the Doodle Drawers.

I'm looking for...

some...aha! ..wool! Here it is.

Now, it's my auntie Mildred Maker's birthday,

so I'm going to knit her a scarf. She'd really like that, yeah.

HE CHUCKLES

BAA!

I'm sure the end's not far away.

BAA!

Oh, right. I'll just give it a little pull.

Oh! At last!

-I've found the end of the wool. Ha!

-BAA!

Oh. But I might be a bit tangled up.

HE CHUCKLES

Never mind though,

this has given me a great idea!

DING!

Let's try something!

Try making a wonderful, woolly, winding picture.

First, we need to tidy up...

Whoo! Ha-ha-ha!

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

Some cotton reels.

-Some coloured wool...

-BAA!

..some gloopy PVA glue...

..and some card.

Whoa! Look at this wonderful,

woolly, winding picture. To make one of your very own,

you need some coloured card. And you also need some cotton reels.

You can use as many as you like,

but it looks really good if you use at least six.

Place your cotton reels around the card,

and make sure they're spaced out, like this.

When you're happy with the position of your reels,

stick them down with gloopy glue.

When the reels have dried firmly in place,

attach a piece of thin wool to one of the reels with a knot,

like this. This can be a bit tricky,

so you might want to ask an adult to help you.

Now we're going to start winding the wool around

all of the cotton reels.

Just wrap it around each one in a loop,

then move on to the next one and do the same.

Keep going until you've gone round each reel, and you're at the start.

Tie another knot,

and then snip off any extra bits of wool that you don't need.

But be careful, because scissors are sharp.

-Oooh!

-SNARLING

Do exactly the same, but with a different coloured wool.

I think blue will look good.

This time, we're going to start from a different reel.

Let's wrap it round, and tie a knot again.

There. Nice and secure.

We'll wind around all the reels again,

but wrap your wool around in a different order.

Ensure you go round them all.

And remember to finish up...

at the reel you started with. Tie a knot,

and snip off any extra bits.

It's looking good! You can make it look even better

by doing the same, using different colours,

and winding around in different ways.

What a great effect! It's a wonderful, woolly, winding picture.

There are lots of colours and designs you can try.

This one is made by sticking the cotton reels in a circle shape.

And this big one is made by using lots of cotton reels,

and lots of different coloured wool.

And talking of lots and lots of wool,

where did I put all that wool from earlier?

Oh! Ha-ha! There it is!

-BAA!

-Ha-ha!

-SNORING

-Oh, what's that noise? It's a...

Ah, it's coming from the shelves. Come on!

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

Let's wake them up!

SNUFFLING

Oh, oh.

CIRCLE GIGGLES

THEY ALL SHOUT

ALL: Whee!

# 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?

Can you guess?

It's a cockerel!

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

ALL: Whee!

LAUGHTER

ALL: Oh, oh, oh.

SNORING

Ho-ho, now, that was a puzzling puzzle, wasn't it?

CLATTERING

Tocky here! Minute Make Time!

Oh, great! It's Minute Make Time!

Here's what we're going to make.

A clacker drum!

It's great fun, look!

Hee-hee! And to make one, you will need...

some sticky tape, a pencil, an empty cheese box -

you need one with a lid, like that.

A piece of string - that's got to be twice the length of your cheese box.

You need a ball of sticky tack,

and two large beads.

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

-No way!

-I can't believe you're saying that, Tocky.

I think I can do it! Although I will have to move very quickly.

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

-Let's make it in a minute!

-Start the clock!

Let's go! Let's get our box, and a pencil,

and, very carefully, push to make a hole with the pencil,

then get our ball of tack, squidge it in place,

so the pencil stays firm. Put the lid back on like that.

Lay our string

on top. We can stick that in position with some tape,

right across the middle, there.

Let's get one of our beads,

and feed it onto one end, there we go.

Then tie a knot...there we are.

Let's do the same on the other side.

There's the other bead. Like this.

Let's feed it on here.

Through it goes, like that. Go on, through you go!

There we are.

Let's tie a knot on this end as well.

And once I've done that...

Get a move on!

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

There's the other knot, and I have done it!

Woo!

Only just!

Yes, and if you've got more than a minute, you can decorate your drum!

Look at this one here. It's got a circle of paper on each side.

In fact, you can make all sorts of clacker drums in the same way.

Oooh!

This one's painted with a swirly pattern.

Ho-ho!

Look at this brightly-coloured clacker drum with lots of beads!

Clacker drums made in a minute! Why don't you make one?

Here's a reminder of how to do it.

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

Push a hole in the side of a cheese box with a pencil,

and hold it steady with sticky tack.

Put the lid back on,

and tape the string across the middle.

Tie a bead to both ends of the string to finish your drum!

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

ALL: Hello, Mister Maker!

ALL: Guess what we're making today?

I don't know. Why don't you tell us?

CHILDREN LAUGH

I'm dark blue.

I'm grey.

I am green.

I am brown.

I am black.

ALL: It's a koala bear!

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 picture, made by drawing in paint on shiny paper.

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

You will need some card, shiny silver paper,

a pencil with a rubber at the end, glue, paint, and a paintbrush.

First, stick a piece of shiny paper to some card.

Then cover the shiny paper in dark-coloured paint.

Now, draw in the wet paint using the rubber at the end of the pencil,

making sure you press down firmly.

You can draw whatever you like, but this is going to be a truck.

Start off at the front of the truck, add a window,

and a wheel, then at the back of the truck,

add two more wheels.

Add some details...

and go over all the lines again.

And when it's dry, you can see the shiny paper through the paint!

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

And then...frame it!

ENGINE STARTS

-Isn't that effective?

-HORN BLARES

And now for a messy picture! Watch this.

What do you think it is?

It's a squirrel!

Oh, ho-ho!

Fantastic! Now, what's happening here?

HE LAUGHS

Don't mind me, I'm just practising my silly faces! Look at this.

HE LAUGHS

Oh, that's a really good one. Can you make silly faces? Go on.

Pull a funny face - the sillier the better. Go on.

Brilliant! Ha-ha! That was a very funny face.

And all of our funny, silly faces have given me a great idea.

-DING!

-Let's make something!

Make a funny face of your own, like this great gargoyle

that you can stick on your wall or door.

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

A paper plate and an old newspaper.

Some scraps of cardboard, some gloopy PVA glue,

and some sticky tape.

And some paint.

Oh-ho!

Now, we also need some play sand, which you can find in a toyshop.

I'll be back in a tick.

CAR ENGINE, BRAKES SCREECH

I've got it!

Here it is, our play sand.

Now, take a look

at this gargoyle. A gargoyle is a funny creature

made out of stone,

that you might find on the front of an old building.

To make one, you need to start with its mouth, and for that,

we need a sheet of newspaper,

and we're going to roll it up like this.

Then we're going to give it a twist,

and stick it together with tape.

Now, we're going to bend it

around into a loop shape, and stick this together with more tape.

And then give it a squeeze...

into a mouth shape.

We need to bring in

our paper plate, and turn it

upside down -

this will be the face.

Let's put on our mouth, and stick it into position.

Great!

Now, to make a nose, we get another piece of newspaper,

and scrunch it up into a sort of pear shape.

Tape it together...

and stick it in the middle of the face!

Now we can roll up two small balls of newspaper for nostrils.

Then we can tape them either side of the nose.

Now, for the eyes,

use half a sheet of paper to make thinner twists -

let's roll it up.

And again, we can use some sticky tape

to hold it in position.

We can loop it round...

You can always tear off a bit

of the loop to make your eyes smaller.

Then stick it together.

Now, I'm going to put it...

..here, next to the nose.

We need a pupil in the middle. So...

we need to scrunch up a ball

from a smaller piece of newspaper,

and that goes in the middle of the eye shape.

Then do the same on the other side.

He looks very silly, doesn't he?

Now we can add some extra detail

by cutting out some cardboard squares for gargoyle teeth,

maybe some cardboard triangles for ears.

Be careful though - scissors are sharp!

Oh-ho!

Here are my scissors.

Here's my cardboard. Start with the teeth.

Now, cutting cardboard

can be a bit fiddly,

so it might be a good idea to ask an adult to help you. Then,

you can place them onto your gargoyle face,

and do the same with two cardboard ears,

and stick it all down... Great!

Now comes the messy bit.

Put your gargoyle on an old tray.

There we go.

We're going to cover the whole thing in a layer of gloopy glue.

OK. Now, we need to be quick about this,

we don't want the glue to dry.

Sprinkle play sand all over it.

Then, shake off the extra sand...

and leave it to dry. Now...

you can paint it a nice grey colour,

add some white highlights and use black paint for the darker details.

And there it is,

your very own funny gargoyle!

And you can make lots of different gargoyle faces.

This one's got big ears and extra green paint,

to look like there's moss growing on it. Or how about

doing a big gargoyle with a sticking-out tongue?

All of them are brilliant funny faces! Ha-ha!

Excuse me... Well, I think you've got a very funny face too!

-Oh, thank you very much. You're too kind.

-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!
