A

Hello and welcome to one of another one of our um grass sessions. Today, I'm joined by a special guest sally, who is from the cambridge city, child and family centre. um Sally's gonna be um leading on the craft today. So um off we go sally. What are we making.

B

Okay, so today we are making a hand waver so that you can wave if you're stuck inside. You can use your hand waiver to hand to wave to people through the window. Oh that's nice and the activity. Is it activity? Number three, so you'll need that sheet. Some.

A

Of you might have this: if not, then we'll just we'll go through it with you, so not to worry yeah, absolutely.

B

So first thing you need is a I'm going to read off the sheet a white piece of card and a straw. If you've lost your straws, then you can always use a lollipop stick fabulous.

B

um I also have got the lovely pens that came out of your pack.

B

And I've added scissors as well, because we're going to do some cutting outs and I have used you can use glue to stick your hand on the straw, but I've also used sellotape just to secure it. Yeah.

A

It's pretty good idea, isn't it and.

B

Last but not least, I have torn a piece of paper out for a magazine and put it on my table so that I can color the hand in without getting pen on the table. Oh.

A

Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah I'll have a little spare bit of paper too I'll. Probably if I get pen on the table, do I get in trouble? Do we right.

B

Okay, so first thing, then, is your cards and what we're going and then your hand, you need your hand. I've got two you might want, depending on how old you are, you might need one to hold it onto the the card.

B

I think I don't think not sure if you can see me doing that, but I can use. I can see you doing that andrea yeah, yeah, yes, okay and then either.

B

um If you're literally a little person, ask your uh grown-up people to help you with either drawing withdrawing round, um and they might just give you a hand.

B

And then just draw around your hand and your fingers, oh it goes, it does doesn't it. I've got to the middle finger. Now, I'm the last one, and now my thumb, okay, okay, so what you should have, then is a hand. Oh.

A

I can't quite see it but yeah right.

B

Take our word for it the visible ink. So if you need help with cutting out, please ask a grown-up to help you if you're a little bit older and you're okay with with cutting out that's great and then you can just cut out your hand starting I've started with the thumb. What have you started with andrea.

A

Start with the little finger- oh, it might be because I wow I'm left-handed actually having said that, I'm using my right hand to cut so don't know, it's just preferred.

B

Isn't it works? That's the way you do it, whatever way works, so the bits between the fingers are the tricky part. So I'm about to cut my finger off, I think I know I've just managed to avert disaster.

A

That's what the sellotape's there.

B

For how many fingers is it? Oh, oh,.

A

Sorry I fell a bit fast. I got back yeah.

B

Oh well done you want, you won the hand, cutting.

A

Well, I think they're all unaccounted for one, two, three, four, five lovely.

B

All right, I'm just coming up to my last: every finger, I'm going to cut out okay gonna go around it and into there.

B

Okay, so we have a hand okay, so once you've got your hand, you can color it any way that you like. I think we've got examples for you here.

A

So I've gone, I've got sort of a bit of a rainbow theme with that with a flower and I've done it. So the flower then leads on to the stem of the.

B

That's beautiful.

A

But I don't think I'm going to I'm just because I suppose not um in terms of time, I'm going to do quite a simple one for this one but yeah. I love your spotty one.

B

Yeah, yes, I used every single color in the pot yeah it's good and then, if you want to do a leaves um you can, I actually did them where I folded. The card in half drew a leaf, shape and cut them out. So there's a bit there. They look a bit like angel's wings as well. I think, and then that bit there you can sell a tape to your straw.

A

Brilliant, okay, so should we just do our rough coloring in so we so we make one.

B

Or as we've done ours already, do you think we need to shall we make another one yeah.

A

Oh okay, oh or um wow. I suppose we could just show it yeah, just color it in stick it on.

B

Yeah and that's at the back there, you know how we've told you how.

A

To do it, I mean this is quite a nice easy craft, um but actually it does look really effective once you've done it.

B

It does yes and you can always use the book start song. Do you know the book that starts so I'm going to hear.

A

I don't, would you like to teach me it? Yes,.

B

I will you'll need to waiver. You'll need your hand waver.

A

Right, I've got it.

B

Right, okay, so people, if people have been watching my story times on the cambridge city, china, family center, facebook page, you will already know this rhyme, but I'll teach it to the rest of you. So after three, one, two, three hello: everyone: how are you hello? Everyone? How are you hello, everyone? How are you we're going to have some fun.

A
