Meeting Mister Maker in Person!

6 September 20104 Comments

Mister Maker is the arts and crafts guy from the UK’s very popular children’s TV channel CBeebies on BBC! (Starhub cable channel 303 if you’re in Singapore)

Anya and Vai remember him very well because they watched his TV shows for so many times during our visit to Indonesia last June!

(When I asked if they ‘know’ Mister Maker’, they BOTH could even recall some of the crafty things that Mister Maker made! I was amazed!)


[Mister Maker was funny, silly and GREAT with kids!]

Anyway, just recently Mister Maker toured around Asia and stopped by Singapore last weekend!

AND, we were invited to meet him in person! And to join his interactive arts and crafts session held at Paragon Shopping Centre!

Cool!

So of course we said, ‘YES! We’ll be there!’


[The kids made Googly Alien Eyes!]

I’ve uploaded MORE photos on my Facebook photo album!

Click HERE to view them!

And click HERE to watch our video clip on Youtube!

Anyway.

If you’re into imaginative play and are looking for arts and crafts ideas for your kiddos (that uses ordinary household objects!), go and watch his TV shows or check out his website!

Happy crafting, everyone!

    Hi Ed,

    Great to see all 5 of you there too!! ๐Ÿ˜€

    These days I travel light and carry only my S90 haha …

    See you around!!

    Hi Jayne,

    Yes, it sure looks like HEAPS of kids simply LOVE Mister Maker! And I’m not surprised looking at how he interacted naturally with them during the session!

    I found out about the show when I received the media invitation to join in the session. Later I learned how the sessions were limited and kids who joined were those who’ve entered and won contests. Mister Maker was in Singapore last weekend only.

    Are you on my Facebook? Sometimes I do share info and updates on my FB status. Do join in my Our Everyday Things FB Page too yeah … ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Leonny,
    My son likes Mister Maker so much.
    I did not know that he is in town for show ::(
    How do you know that?
    May I get you to share these kind of events when any children show in town.
