[Happy music plays]

Mandisa wears her long black hair pulled away from her face. She smiles as she holds up a cardboard robot and a paper bag decorated as a fox puppet. Text above her reads, “Curious Crafting.”

[Boing, thumping]

Mandisa wears faded blue denim overalls over a white long-sleeved shirt. A boy and girl each carry a cardboard box to a round green table. The girl wears her straight black hair in pigtails over the shoulders of her light brown long-sleeved shirt. The boy wears his black curly hair short. He wears a dark blue shirt with red sleeves.

Mandisa says, WE COULD
RECYCLE THESE CARDBOARD
BOXES, BUT WOULDN'T IT BE
MORE FUN TO MAKE A CRAFT?

The boy and girl say, YEAH!

Mandisa asks, WHAT DO YOU
THINK WE COULD MAKE?

The boy says, A FIRE TRUCK!

The girl says, A TRUCK.

Mandisa holds a box painted red like a fire truck. It has black and white circles attached as wheels and a white paper ladder attached to the side.

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT,
A FIRE TRUCK.

[Animated scissors snip, happy music plays]

Mandisa paints a cardboard box red.

Mandisa narrates, TO MAKE THIS
CRAFT AT HOME, PAINT A
CARDBOARD BOX RED.

CUT OUT THE LADDER STEPS AND
SIDE RAIL FROM WHITE PAPER.
GLUE THEM TOGETHER.

Mandisa attaches paper rungs on the ladder.

Mandisa narrates, GLUE FOUR
WHITE CIRCLES TO BLACK
CIRCLES FOR WHEELS.

TAKE YOUR CARDBOARD BOX
AND GLUE ON THE WHITE
RECTANGULAR WINDOW,
WHEELS AND LADDER TO
THE SIDE OF THE BOX.

Mandisa puts a drop of glue in the middle of four black circles of paper. She attaches a smaller circle of paper to each to create wheels.

On one side of the red box, Mandisa attaches two wheels, the ladder, and a white rectangle of paper for a window.

Mandisa narrates, WE WANT A
WINDOW AND BUMPER TO
THE FRONT OF THE FIRETRUCK.

GLUE ON TWO YELLOW SQUEEZE
CAPS TO THE TOP OF YOUR BOX
FOR LIGHTS AND YOUR FIRE TRUCK
IS COMPLETE.

Mandisa glues two rectangles of white paper to the front of the box. She glues two yellow tops of squeeze bottles to the top of her fire truck.

Mandisa and the two children push their fire trucks on the top of the green table.

The girl says, THERE'S
AN EMERGENCY!

The boy says, I WILL SAVE
THE DOG.

Mandisa says, OKAY.
