Connect The Dots: A New Art Interest

"Hello, everyone, it's me, Fireman Sam. I would like to tell you what my friend has been up to with her support worker about two days ago. What you are about to hear will change the way you view Pontypandy forever - and maybe even my friend's life.

So first off, they ordered three things for her picnic as usual - sausage rolls, chocolate cookies and Coke Zero. But! She didn't want to eat it in the car. Instead, she wanted to eat it outdoors, there's a good lass. And where did she have it? Not at the park, because Norman might play a trick on her. Not near the fire station because Elvis would think he cooked it. But at the burgh in Tain - it's the perfect place to have a picnic, like the places I choose to have a picnic with Sarah, James and Rosa - they're always peaceful.

And when they got home, the support worker taught her how to make cupcakes his way - adding just grains as well as butter, an egg and a few drops of water. The result was that the cakes turned out delicious, and she developed a new talent. But it was the next chapter that really affected how she saw art.

She got out her Bluey Dot Stamping Kit and engaged in a bit of dot stamping with her support worker. At first, he thought it was a bit of colouring in, but to my friend, dot stamping was all about decorating a colouring picture with dots. I call it 'Pointillism'. I knew this multiple times because during the time I was on CBBC, SMart aired too, and one time they showed how to do a pointillism picture. Seen this episode? Rings a bell, you know.

And then, it happened - after her nap, my friend made the most shocking decision in her life: she wanted to ice some chocolate chip cookies all by herself. At first, the results turned out mushy, but some of her cookies looked absolutely wonderful. And when there was a mess on the kitchen counter, she unleashed her inner Penny Morris and cleaned and scrubbed the counter with Mr Muscle. It had a very foul smell, but she put her back right into it.

Oh what a day she had. When I told my friends at the fire service, they were all so flabbergasted they were immediately inspired to do their own pointillism pictures - and Elvis did lots of childish, messy paintings.
