Lucas is in his twenties, with short puffy brown hair and wears a dark blue TVO Kids hoodie.

Lucas reads a book sitting in a blanket fort at his house.

Lucas says HEY, TVOKIDS,
LUCAS HERE.
SINCE WE'RE SOCIAL DISTANCING
AND PHYSICAL DISTANCING,
I'VE DECIDED IT'S PROBABLY
A GOOD IDEA TO STAY HOME.
BUT, SINCE I CAN'T HANG OUT
IN THE TREE FORT,
I DECIDED TO BUILD
A BLANKET FORT.
I CHALLENGE YOU GUYS
TO DO THE SAME.
STEP ONE,
CLEAN YOUR ROOM.
NOBODY LIKES A MESSY ROOM.
AND DURING THESE TIMES,
WE WANNA MAKE SURE
WE STAY RESPONSIBLE
AND RIGHT ON TRACK.
GREAT!
NOW THAT THAT'S DONE,
HAVE A DANCE PARTY
TO YOUR FAVOURITE SONG.
GOTTA KEEP
THOSE SPIRITS LIFTED.
AND IF YOU'RE
FEELING LONELY,
HAVE ONE
WITH YOUR DOG.
THEY MIGHT NEED ONE,
TOO.
NEXT, GET SOME SUPPLIES.
THERE WE GO.
BLANKETS,
PILLOWS,
ANYTHING YOU NEED TO HELP
MAKE YOUR FORT.
NEXT, FIND SOME TALL STRUCTURES
TO PUT YOUR BLANKETS ON.
I'M USING THE BACK
OF MY CLOSET.
OH, AND MAKE SURE THE BLANKET
IS LONG ENOUGH.
CHECK!

A fast-motion clip shows him doing the activities he suggests.

He continues OKAY, NOW IT'S TIME TO PUT YOUR
BLANKETS ON YOUR STRUCTURES
AND LET THE BLANKET FORTING
COMMENCE.
OH, BUT WAIT...
LET'S HAVE A COOKIE BREAK.
I MEAN, LET'S FACE IT,
YOU DESERVE IT.
OKAY,
YOU CAN HAVE ONE, TOO.

He hands a cookie to his dog.

He continues NEXT, KEEP BUILDING.
YOU'LL PROBABLY SPEND
QUITE A BIT OF TIME IN HERE,
SO MAKE SURE IT IS
AS COMFORTABLE
AND AS BEAUTIFUL
AS POSSIBLE.
YOU CAN EVEN DECORATE IT WITH
SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE STUFF.
THEN, I DON'T KNOW,
READ A BOOK.
STUDYING WILL BE
A LOT EASIER
IN THE COMFORT OF
YOUR HOMEMADE BLANKET FORT.
JUST TRY NOT TO FALL ASLEEP.
AND THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE
A BLANKET FORT.
GOOD LUCK!
HOPE THIS HELPS
TO BEAT YOUR BOREDOM.
CATCH YOU NEXT TIME.
