Hosted by Mandisa Watts, Curious Crafting is a series about the joy of crafting. It features a rotating cast of young kids making art out of common household objects, illustrating how accessible crafting can be.
Paper Bag Fox Puppet
Mandisa introduces Colette and Hugo to her Paper Bag Fox Puppet, and shows how to use your hand to make it talk. With a couple of paper bags, orange paper, and a bit of imagination, the kids create a whole family of foxes!
Crocodile
Is this a crafting room... or a crocodile room? Nia and McKenna make a croc friend out of things at home we might normally throw away. These materials are magically transformed under a simple coat of green paint.
Cupcake Liner Fish
In the crafting world, cupcake liners have so many uses - like forming the scales of a colourful fish. Mandisa shows Chloe and Sebastian how to make a fish. Learn how to reduce crafting waste with clever cuts.
Jellyfish Suncatcher
Jellyfish have a fancy way of floating, but you wouldn't want to touch one in real life. Luckily, Mandisa has a craft version, a Jellyfish Suncatcher with rainbow ribbons for tentacles.
Wooden Spoon People
Mandisa teaches Vanier and Zanna to make wooden spoon people. This fun craft lets the crafters choose different colours of skin, different textures of hair, and dress them up in colourful clothes using spare scraps of fabric.
Paper Plate Dinosaur
Mandisa brings a dinosaur to life as a paper plate craft, and shows friends Colette and Connor how to make their own. The kids have fun painting their dinosaurs green and making their best dinosaur sounds. Roar!
