[Upbeat music plays]

Text reads, “TVOkids” and “Riverbank Pictures” “Original.”

[Child giggles, pop]

Text reads, “TVO Presents.”

[Happy music plays]

Mandisa wears her long black hair pulled away from her face. She smiles as she holds up a cardboard monster and an upside down drinking cup rabbit. Text above her reads, “Curious Crafting.”

[Boing]

Animated crayons draw lines.

Mandisa sits at a white round table. To her right sits a girl with long curly brown hair. The girl wears a red long-sleeved shirt and black overalls. To her left sits a boy with short dark brown hair who wears a blue and grey striped long-sleeved shirt.

[Upbeat music plays]

Mandisa says, TODAY, I THOUGHT WE
COULD MAKE AN EXTRA SPECIAL CASTLE.

AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT
MAKES IT EXTRA SPECIAL?

The girl says, PINK PAINT!

The boy says, LOTS OF GLITTER!

Mandisa holds up a large blue cardboard castle with glittering golden turrets. Surrounding the base of the castle are puffy white cotton balls. Mandisa smiles and puts the castle on the table.

Mandisa says, THIS CASTLE IS IN THE SKY.

The girl says, WHOA!

An animated knight waves a sword in a window in the castle.

[Slide whistle]

Mandisa says, IN THE CLOUDS.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE ONE?

The children reply, YES!

Mandisa says, LET'S GET SOME SUPPLIES.

[Bright music plays]

The children run to supply bins. As Mandisa lists the supplies, they appear on a tabletop.

Mandisa narrates, WE'RE GOING
TO NEED COTTON FILLING AND
GOLD FOAM SHEETS.

CONSTRUCTION PAPER
AND PAPER STRAWS.

PAINT AND PAINT BRUSHES.

CARDBOARD TUBES AND A
MEDIUM SIZED CARDBOARD BOX.

Animated scissor cut a line.

[Snipping, upbeat music plays]

Mandisa says, TO MAKE OUR CASTLE
IN THE SKY, YOU NEED A MEDIUM
SIZE BOX.

HAVE AN ADULT HELP
YOU CUT OUT THE DOOR.

AND THEN TWO WINDOWS
IN THE FRONT, AND THEN A
WINDOW ON EACH SIDE.

FOR THE TOWERS, YOU CAN
USE CARDBOARD TUBES.
AND THEN MAKE TWO
SLITS AT THE BOTTOM.

AND THAT WILL SLIDE
ON EACH CORNER.

OKAY, ARE YOU GUYS
READY TO PAINT?

The children shout, YES!

Mandisa says, OKAY.

The boy and girl pain their castles. Mandisa sits between them and watches. The boy applies red paint to his castle. The girl applies pink paint.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

The boy, says, WHOA, MINE LOOKS SO COOL.

Mandisa asks, AND LUKE, WHO'S
GONNA LIVE IN YOUR CASTLE?

Luke, the boy, says, MY CAT.

Mandisa asks, WHAT COLOR DO
YOU WANNA PUT ON THE DOOR?

Luke replies, MAYBE TURQUOISE.

Mandisa turns to the girl.

Mandisa asks, WHAT COLOR ARE
YOU GONNA DO THIS SIDE?

The girl says, PINK.

Mandisa says, OKAY, GREAT JOB
PAINTING THE OUTSIDE.
NOW, LET'S PAINT THE INSIDE.

Luke says, IF YOU WANNA COPY MINE,
GO AHEAD, KIDS AND BIG KIDS.

The girl says, ALL DONE.

Mandisa says, GOOD JOB.

THE NEXT THING WE NEED
TO PAINT ARE THE TOWERS.

LUKE, WHY DO YOU THINK
CASTLES HAVE TOWERS?

Luke answers, FOR A LOOKOUT.

The girl says, DONE.

Luke says, I'M ALMOST DONE.

Mandisa says, OKAY.

WE'RE GONNA SET
THESE ASIDE TO DRY
AND PUT THEM TOGETHER
IN THE CRAFT ZONE.

An animated paintbrush paints.

[Scratching, upbeat music plays]

Mandisa says, THE NEXT STEP
IS TO BUILD OUR TOWERS.

WE'RE GOING TO ADD SOME
SPARKLY DECORATIONS AND A...

The girl says, FLAG!

Mandisa says, TO ADD OUR
DECORATIONS ON TOP
WE'RE GONNA USE SOME
DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE.

WE'RE GONNA WRAP IT AROUND
THE TOP OF YOUR TOWER.

Luke asks, YOU WANT ME TO
PEEL IT ALL OFF?

Mandisa says, THAT'S RIGHT.
AND THEN CAN YOU WRAP
THAT AROUND ON THE TAPE?

Luke says, YEAH, I'LL START IT OVER
HERE AND THEN WRAP IT AROUND.
GOOD THING I DID.

Mandisa says, GREAT JOB.

Luke holds the tower in front of his mouth.

[Luke imitates a trumpet flourish]

Mandisa asks, DO YOU WANNA
CHOOSE A FLAG?

Luke says, HM, LET'S DO THIS ONE
TO START WITH A RED STRAW.

Mandisa rips a piece of tape off a roll.

[Scritch]

Mandisa says, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA
ATTACH IT WITH SOME TAPE.

[Upbeat music continues]

Mandisa says, GREAT JOB PUTTING
TOGETHER YOUR TOWERS.

NOW, LET'S ATTACH
THEM TO OUR CASTLE.

DO YOU REMEMBER
THAT I CUT TWO SLITS
IN THE BACK OF YOUR TOWER?

CAN YOU SLIDE THAT ON
TO YOUR, TO THE CORNERS?

Luke asks, LIKE THIS?

Mandisa says, YEAH. GOOD JOB.

THE NEXT STEP OF OUR CASTLE IS
TO ADD THE DECORATION ON TOP.

Luke says, THE SPARKLY BATTLEMENTS.

Mandisa asks, CAN YOU TURN
YOUR BATTLEMENTS OVER?

AND I'M GONNA ADD THE
DOUBLE-SIDED TAPE RIGHT HERE.

The girl says, THERE WE GO.

Mandisa says, GOOD.

The children press the battlements against the top of the box between the towers.

Mandisa says, NOW WE HAVE TO
MAKE OUR CASTLES IN THE SKY.

[Girl cheers]

Mandisa says, TO DO THAT, I HAVE
A CARDBOARD CUT OUT IN THE
SHAPE OF A CLOUD.

I HAVE SOME COTTON FLUFF.
WE'RE GONNA GLUE IT
ALL AROUND OUR CASTLE.

Luke says, BUT I'M GONNA
START ONE BY ONE.

Luke and the girl squeeze glue on the cardboard.

Mandisa says, YOU STICK YOUR
CASTLE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE THERE.

Luke says, LIFT OUR CASTLES UP
FOR LAST.

The children put their castles on the glue on the cardboard.

[Banging]

Luke says, YEAH.

Mandisa says, YEAH, RIGHT THERE.
HERE, WE'LL DO IT THE OTHER WAY.
LIKE THERE, LIKE THAT.

YOU WANNA ADD SOME COTTON FLUFF?

Luke says, I GOT MINE ON MY DOOR.

The girl says, COTTON.
WE NEED MORE FLUFF.

Luke says, THESE ARE NOT
REAL CLOUDS, YOU KNOW.

[Girl laughs, upbeat music continues]

The girl says, NOW OTHER SIDE.

Luke says, I BET I CAN
TAKE A NAP IN THERE.

Mandisa says, OTHER SIDE.

OUR CASTLES ARE ALL DONE.
WHERE ARE YOUR

CASTLES GONNA GO NOW?

Luke and the girl say, UP IN THE SKY!

They hold their castles up over their heads.
