A child’s voice cries, WHEE!

(Giggling)

(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 low table with two children. She wears a red t-shirt under overalls.

Mandisa asks, WHO'S BEEN TO A FAIR OR CARNIVAL?

Both children say, ME.

Mandisa asks, HAVE YOU TRIED THE RING TOSS GAME?

A child with long black hair says, NO.

A child with short brown hair asks, WHAT'S THAT?

Mandisa says, IT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE GAMES THAT'S WHY I CRAFTED MY OWN RING TOSS GAME.

Mandisa puts a crafted ring toss on the table and drops a paper ring over it.

(Tinkling)

The brown-haired child asks, CAN WE MAKE OUR OWN?

Mandisa says, OF COURSE, LET'S GET SOME CRAFTING SUPPLIES.

(Music playing)

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

Mandisa narrates, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED YARN AND A PAPER PLATE, WHITE CARD STOCK, CARDBOARD TUBES, A BLACK MARKER, WATERCOLOUR PAINT AND PAINTBRUSHES, CONSTRUCTION PAPER, FELT, AND CEREAL BOX CARDBOARD, AND DOT STICKERS.

(Paintbrush rasping over paper)

Mandisa and the children sit at the painting table.

Mandisa says, SO FIRST, WHAT ANIMAL DOES THIS LOOK LIKE?

The black-haired child says, A BEAR.

The brown-haired child says, BEAR.

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT, A BEAR. WE'RE GONNA DRAW OUR BEAR'S MOUTH AND YOU CAN DRAW THE NOSE OF YOUR BEAR HERE. MAKE A LITTLE SMILE AND GIVE YOUR BEAR SOME WHISKERS.

The brown-haired child says, MAYBE I'M GONNA HAVE LIKE, I'M GONNA MAKE THIS COOLEST THING I LIKE TO MAKE SOMETIMES.

Mandisa says, OKAY, LUKE, YOU CAN MAKE THE ICING OUTLINE ON YOUR DONUT.

(Light upbeat music)

The children draw on paper plates with the centres cut out.

Mandisa says, GOOD JOB.

Luke asks, NOW WE'RE GONNA GET TO PAINT IT RIGHT?

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT, LUKE. WHAT ARE YOU MAKING?

Luke says, A MONSTER.

Mandisa says, A MONSTER.

The children paint the paper plates.

The black-haired child says, MINE IS A LITTLE TOO PINKISH PART.

Mandisa says, WHAT COLOUR ARE YOU GONNA MAKE THE TEETH?

Luke says, ORANGE.

Mandisa says, GOOD, NOW LET'S PAINT OUR RING TOSS POLE.

Mandisa holds up cardboard tubes. The children coat them with paint.

Luke says, I WANNA DO ANOTHER COAT AFTER THIS.

Mandisa says, WE'LL SET THOSE ASIDE TO DRY AND WE WILL HEAD BACK TO THE CRAFT ZONE.

(Scissors cutting paper)

Mandisa and the children sit at the low table with their painted crafts in front of them.

Mandisa says, LET'S START BUILDING OUR BEAR'S FACE. I CUT OUT SOME EARS FROM CARDBOARD AND INNER EARS FROM FELT.

The children squeeze glue bottles.

Luke says, GOOEY.

(Light upbeat music)

The children glue ears on painted circles of paper.

Luke says, THIS ONE'S NOT EVEN THERE.

Mandisa says, NEXT, WE'RE GONNA GLUE ON THE BEAR'S…

Mandisa points to an eye on the finished craft.

The black-haired child says, EYE.

Mandisa says, FOR THAT I CUT OUT SOME BLUE CIRCLES FROM FELT AND SMALLER WHITE CIRCLES FROM PAPER.

(Light upbeat music)

The children glue the white circles onto the felt circles.

Mandisa says, NEXT WE'RE GONNA ADD THE…

Mandisa points to the craft’s pink cheeks.

The black-haired child says, CHEEK.

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT.

The children glue pink circles of felt.

The black-haired child says, I'M JUST GONNA DO IT.

Mandisa says, GREAT. NEXT WE'RE GONNA ADD SOME…

She points to yarn.

The black-haired child says, HAIR.

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT. SO I'VE GOT SOME RED YARN HERE, YOU TAKE SOME AND--

The black-haired child says, MY BEAR IS NOT A SCARY BEAR, IT'S A CUTE BEAR.

Mandisa says, NEXT WE'RE GONNA ADD THE NOSE. FOR THAT I CUT OUT A BLACK CIRCLE AND A SMALLER WHITE CIRCLE OUTTA CONSTRUCTION PAPER, WE'RE GONNA GLUE THAT TO THE TOP OF YOUR CARDBOARD TUBE.

Mandisa helps the children glue the tubes.

Mandisa says, ALL RIGHT, GOOD, AND WE'LL LET THAT DRY.

The black-haired child asks, WHICH WAY DOES IT GO, THIS WAY?

The black-haired child glues the black circle to the tube.

Mandisa says, NOW WE'RE GONNA ATTACH OUR CARDBOARD TUBES TO OUR BEAR'S FACE. I CUT OUT SOME TABS AT THE BOTTOM TO HELP WITH THAT.

(Light upbeat music)

The children glue the tubes to the painted faces.

Mandisa says, OKAY, THE LAST THING WE NEED TO ADD TO OUR BEAR ARE THE…

Luke says, DOT STICKERS.

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT, THE LITTLE BLACK DOTS FOR THE EYES AND WE'RE GONNA ADD SOME DOTS ALL OVER OUR…

Mandisa points to a painted paper ring.

Luke says, RING.

Mandisa says, OUR RING, OUR DONUT.

(Light upbeat music)

The children add stickers.

The black-haired child says, BLUE, PINK AND GREEN.

Mandisa says, OUR RING TOSS BEARS ARE ALL DONE. SHOULD WE TEST THEM OUT?

The black-haired child says, YEAH.

Luke asks, CAN I RING MY MINE ON YOURS?

Mandisa says, YEAH, CAN I TRY MINE ON YOURS?

Luke says, YES.

They toss the rings at the tubes.

Luke says, AH, YOU GOT YOURS ON, YOU GOT YOURS ON--

Mandisa says, I GOT IT, CAN I TRY IT ON YOURS?

The black-haired child cries, YES, I DID IT!

Mandisa says, OH, YOU GOT IT. WOO HOO, WE GOT IT!

The children throw the rings.

(Cheerful upbeat music)
