A child’s voice cries, WHEE!

(Music playing)

An animated sun shines. Mandisa waves from beside a tree. Mandisa has black hair held back with a headband and wears denim overalls over a peach t-shirt.

An animated bird and ladybug move around Mandisa. Mandisa holds a crafted rabbit and a colourful monster made from a tissue box.

A title reads: Curious Crafting

(Cheerful upbeat music)

Mandisa sits at a table with two children. They all wear sunglasses. Mandisa stretches her arms.

Mandisa says, AH, THE BEACH, THE SUN, THE SAND, THE SURF, AND THE SLIME.

They all take off their sunglasses.

Both children ask, SLIME?

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT, SAND SLIME. DO YOU WANNA MAKE SOME WITH ME?

A child with long dark brown hair says, YEAH!

A child with short blonde hair says, YES.

Mandisa says, OKAY, OKAY, LET'S GET WHAT WE NEED.

(Cheerful upbeat music)

Mandisa and the children get up from the table and walk to a room filled with craft supplies. Items appear on a table.

Mandisa narrates, YOU'LL NEED SEASHELLS, BAKING SODA, SAND, MEASURING SPOONS, A MIXING SPOON, CONTACT LENS SOLUTION, WATER, CLEAR GLUE, AND A MIXING BOWL.

(Paintbrush rasping)

Mandisa sits with the children at another table.

Mandisa says, WELCOME TO OUR PAINT ZONE, BUT TODAY IT'S OUR SLIME ZONE.

Mandisa stretches a piece of dough.

Mandisa asks, WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE, COLLETTE?

Collette says, I FEEL LIKE SAND.

Mandisa says, IT DOES. SO, OUR FIRST INGREDIENT IS THREE QUARTER CUP OF CLEAR GLUE.

The children pour glue into large clear bowls.

Mandisa says, SO WE NEED HALF A TEASPOON OF BAKING SODA. SO, THAT'S A TEASPOON THERE FOR YOU AND YOU'VE GOT YOURS, COLLETTE. CAN YOU SCOOP OUT HALF A TEASPOON OF BAKING SODA? GOOD, SO I'M GONNA JUST SLIDE MY FINGER ACROSS THERE AND THEN YOU CAN PUT THAT INTO YOUR BOWL, YOU READY?

Collette empties the spoonful of baking soda into the bowl.

Mandisa says, GOOD. SO CAN YOU MIX IN YOUR BAKING SODA INTO YOUR GLUE?

The children stir with red spatulas.

Mandisa says, AND NEXT WE'RE GONNA NEED SOME…

Mandisa holds up a jug of water.

Collette says, WARM WATER.

The blonde-haired child says, WATER.

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT. WE'RE GONNA GO UP TO ONE QUARTER CUP. I'M GONNA POUR IT AND YOU CAN TELL ME WHEN TO STOP, OKAY?

Collette watches Mandisa pour the water into a measuring cup.

Collette says, STOP.

The children stir their bowls.

Mandisa says, ALL RIGHT. OKAY, NOW LET'S MIX OUR WATER INTO THE REST OF OUR INGREDIENTS. HOW DO YOU THINK WE CAN COMBINE THE BEACH AND SLIME?

Both children say, SAND.

Mandisa says, THAT’S RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA PUT IN ONE CUP OF SAND.

Collette holds up a spoon.

Collette asks, THIS IS ONE CUP?

Mandisa says, THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE TABLESPOON. RIGHT HERE, THAT'S ONE CUP.

(Cheerful upbeat music)

Mandisa holds the measuring cup while Collette pours sand into it. The blonde-haired child pours sand.

Mandisa says, KEEP GOING.

The children pour the sand from the measuring cups into their bowls.

(Cheerful upbeat music)

They stir the bowls.

Collette says, OH MY.

The blonde-haired child says, IT LOOKS LIKE IT ALREADY. THIS LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THAT.

Mandisa says, IT DOES. OUR FINAL INGREDIENT IS?

Mandisa holds a small purple bottle.

Collette says, ACTIVATOR.

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT, OUR SLIME ACTIVATOR. SO WE'RE GONNA NEED ONE TABLESPOON OF CONTACT LENSE SOLUTION. ALL RIGHT, THAT'S AWESOME. GOOD JOB. IS THAT BOTTLE HARD TO SQUEEZE? GOOD, THAT'S RIGHT AT THE TOP. SLIP THAT INTO YOUR BOWL. NOW YOU CAN START MIXING IN YOUR SLIME ACTIVATOR.

The children stir the bowls.

Collette says, SO HARD TO MIX.

Mandisa says, THAT'S 'CAUSE IT'S STARTING TO TURN INTO SLIME.

The blonde-haired child says, THERE'S SO MUCH INGREDIENTS.

Mandisa says, THAT’S RIGHT. SO WE'VE MIXED ALL OUR INGREDIENTS AND NOW IT'S TIME TO USE OUR…

Mandisa holds up her hands.

Both children say, HANDS!

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT.

The children stick their hands in their bowls.

The blonde-haired child says, AND SO STICKY.

Mandisa says, IT'S STICKY, YES.

The blonde-haired child says, IT'S STICKY LIKE GLUE.

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT.

Collette says, OH MY.

(Collette groaning)

The children stretch and knead the slime.

The blonde-haired child asks, ARE WE MISSING SOMETHING?

Mandisa says, WE ARE, AND THAT'S OUR LAST STEP.

(Scissor cutting paper)

Mandisa and the children sit back at the low table.

Mandisa asks, WHAT KINDS OF THINGS CAN WE FIND AT THE BEACH?

The blonde-haired child says, A FISH.

Collette says, SEASHELLS.

Mandisa says, SEASHELLS! I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME SEASHELLS RIGHT HERE.

Mandisa picks up a small orange bowl filled with shells.

SHOULD WE ADD THEM TO OUR SAND SLIME?

Both children say, YEAH!

The children reach into the bowl.

Collette says, I'M GONNA ADD THIS ONE.

(Cheerful upbeat music)

The children press shells into the doughy slime.

Mandisa says, OH, I LOVE HOW YOU DECORATED YOUR SLIME THERE, AUSTEN. COLLETTE, I LOVE HOW YOU STRETCHED OUT YOUR SLIME AND MADE IT SO FLAT, IT'S LIKE AN ACTUAL BEACH.

Collette says, YEAH.

Mandisa NOW THAT OUR SAND SLIME IS FINISHED, I THINK IT'S TIME WE SHOULD GO BACK TO THE BEACH.

Mandisa and the children put on their sunglasses.

Mandisa says, ALRIGHT!

(Cheerful upbeat music)
