Is Mr Maker A Creative Genius?

I watch Mr Maker with my grandson every time it comes on television; it has a very catchy theme tune and is fun to watch.  
                                                  
Mr Maker is a great arts and crafts programme for children presented by Phil Gallagher as Mr Maker.

Mr Maker creates lots of pictures and models out of all types of things, boxes, yoghurt pots, grass and leaves, you get the picture!

It reminds me of Blue Peter in the 70’s, when I used to made paper mache models.

Mr Maker travels around in his Maker Mobile creating priceless works of art, assisted by children.

My favourite characters are the Shapes; the music is brilliant my grandson loves dancing to it including me, “I am a Shape,” I wish it was on longer I enjoy watching the children and adults dancing with the Shapes.

It’s definitely worth watching, it’s a brilliant programme, as a creative person myself I think it’s wonderful, it encourages imagination and creativity.

In my opinion it is very inspiring, creative, imaginative, informative and educational.
It should be shown in schools.

My final thought: is it safe driving the Maker Mobile, it looks like it’s stuck together with glue!

Can I Cook With You?

I watched I Can Cook with you, the other morning when my grandson was playing.

The children’s programme “I Can Cook with you,” is presented by Katy Ashworth on CBeebies. 
It was created by Sally Brown and Kate Morris.
                                                       
The programme starts with a catchy theme tune as Katy travels to a location singing the travelling song.

This is a wonderful children’s cookery programme that show children how to cook simple recipes.

Katy sings songs throughout the show encouraging washing hands at the beginning and cleaning up at the end of the day.

Katy is a great character she’s funny, creative and has fun with the children, making the cooking experience a good one.

It’s definitely worth watching the children will love it, I’ve even picked up some cooking tips, so brilliant for adults too! 

In my opinion it is very informative and educational it should be shown in schools.

My final thought: it’s a great children’s cookery programme that encourages children to cook simple recipes and to try foods they have never seen or tasted before.

Why not try out one of the recipes, and tell me what you think?

Is Andy Scared Of Dinosaurs?

I watched Andy’s Dinosaur Adventure with my grandson the other afternoon he was not amused and went off to play with his toys.

Andy’s Dinosaur Adventure is a children's programme shown on CBeebies. It features Andy Day as “Andy,” and Kate Copeland as “Hatty.” Patrick Makin is the writer. It's produced in a CGI digital format.                                                       

Andy’s Dinosaur Adventure is a modern day telling of Dinosaurs in their own territory during Prehistoric times.

The stories start off with Andy accidentally breaking or losing a piece from Hatty’s dinosaur display when she leaves him in charge.

With the aid of a time travelling grandfather clock he goes back in time to find a replacement within that Dinosaur’s time frame; he also finds out how they lived without being eaten.

However, Andy only has a short time to find a replacement and display it back at the museum before the visitors arrive. Will he do it in time?

Andy is against the clock you never know if he will reach the museum in time, thrilling and exciting to watch.

My favourite character is Andy he’s like a big kid; he’s funny and great to watch, a great entertainer.

It’s worth watching, the children will love it. 

In my opinion it’s a brilliant programme for children, every episode shows a different prehistoric creature in its own territory; it’s informative, educational and very interesting to watch even for adults.

My final thought: Andy is so clumsy I wonder how he ever got a job at a museum?

Why Are The Cloudbabies So Adorable?

I watched Cloudbabies on CBeebies with my grandson; he smiles when he watches the programme and touches the television screen to touch the characters.

Cloudbabies is an animated children’s programme that is shown on CBeebies.
It was created by Bridget Appleby.
                                                  
The stories are wonderfully told the character voices adorable.

The theme tune is beautiful and lovely to sing along to, it’s like a lullaby; the animation crisp and perfect.

The stories are about the Cloudbabies Baba Pink, Baba Blue, Baba Yellow and Baba Green who live on a cloud with Bobo White.

They ride skyhorsies to see their friends the Sun, Moon, Rainbow, Fuffa Cloud and Little Star; they work really hard keeping everything clean and bright in the sky.

I love all the characters they are so cute, innocent and adorable and I want to give them big hugs.

The mischievous Bobo White made me laugh in the episode, "The Right Colour To Be," when he paints the sun a new colour. 

This is a wonderful children’s programme, the children will love it. 

In my opinion it is the most beautiful children’s programme for young children that I have watched on CBeebies.

My final thought: it's perfect for very young children.

Is Raa Raa Too Noisy?

I watched Raa Raa the Noisy Lion the other day with my grandson, he loves it and always dances along to the catchy theme tune.

Raa Raa the Noisy Lion is an animated children’s television programme that is shown on CBeebies. It was created by Chapman Entertainment and narrated by Lorraine Kelly.
                                                   
The stories are about Raa Raa the noisy Lion, who lives in the Jingly Jangly Jungle and personally their not wrong about him being noisy.

He is the noisiest Lion I have every known with his shouting and roaring, across the screen, my grandson loves it, the noisier the better for him. No chance of my grandson having a nap when Raa Raa’s on.

Raa Raa’s friends are not as noisy but when Raa Raa plays with them the decibels go up!
The animation is great the story lines and songs are brilliant.

I have no favourite they are equally good and entertaining.

Raa Raa makes me laugh when things don’t always go as he plans.

It’s definitely worth watching, the children will love it. 

In my opinion it’s a great children’s television series, the story lines, songs and dances are fun to watch.

My final thought: he's too noisy for me I'm off to buy some ear plugs!

I just hope my grandson’s first words are not RAA RAA!

Is Peter Rabbit Really A Hare?

I watched Peter Rabbit the other day with my grandson, he likes watching Peter rabbit and his friends run through the forest.

Peter Rabbit is an animated children’s television programme that is shown on CBeebies, it has an exciting theme tune that you can sing along too.
                                                         
It’s a delightful animated children’s television series about Peter Rabbit, his family and friends. Peter’s friend Lily and his cousin Benjamin always accompany him on an adventure in the forest where they live.

In each adventure they avoid being caught by the sly old fox Mr Tod, who wants to catch them for his dinner!

Lily is my favourite rabbit she has very pretty eyes, and wears a pink cardigan; it reminds me of the one my Nan knitted for me as a child, such beautiful memories.

Mr Tod the sly old fox makes me laugh, his plan’s to capture the three young rabbits never goes as he planned. The rabbits always manage to escape his clutches; it’s very exciting to watch.

It’s definitely worth watching, the children will love it. 

In my opinion the animation looks dated, however the story lines are great to watch.

My final thought: it’s great to see the forest animal’s work together to defeat the fox, but I do wonder if Peter is really a hare and not a rabbit.
