CBBC Drawing Activity - 21.10.15

In celebration of CBBC and CBeebies' 20th anniversary, I've set up a series of drawing activities inspired by this and influenced by CBBC's latest show, Britain's Best Young Artist. This time, it's all about Fan Art! Starting with the premiere of my favourite CBBC show, Scream Street!

1.Check out this schedule for inspiration, and maybe even watch some of the shows too.

2.Draw an inspirational work of art inspired by Luke, Resus and Cleo battling the monster vacuum cleaner in 'Scream Clean'.

3.Write somewhere on the page, 'The Best Day Of Our Lives'.

4.On the back, do another piece of art inspired by another show that aired on that day. Here are a few examples to get you started:

• A gothic Nowhere Boys picture inspired by Simone Martini.
• A mixed media picture of Danger Mouse using things found in nature. Go outside into your garden and find flowers, leaves and any other thing, then, using glue, stick them to the picture and draw Danger Mouse in the middle.
• A funky picture of Merl, Pickle and Gull dancing.

5.Hang it on your fridge or bedroom wall for everyone to see!

I.B.F.Fs: Breakfast

It's breakfast time in the world of I.B.F.Fs! Inspired by Frank's idea of a real breakfast, Sophie and her monster siblings decide to use everyday breakfast items to create a 'proper brunch' for their parents to enjoy. Boy, would they be in for a taste sensation!

I.B.F.Fs: Breakfast

Bluey Recaps has released a new recap on the Bluey episode 'Omelette' today, so I've thought up a new I.B.F.Fs story collection - 'Breakfast'. I named it from 'Omelette' to 'Breakfast' to avoid copyright issues with Ludo. I'll also make stories based on other Bluey episodes that require perseverance - Piggyback, Handstand and Squash. I'm not naming each story this way, but I am making storylines based on what these episodes remind me of - a walk in nature, birthday parties and time with Duane, Marlin and Nick. I'll release the first story tomorrow, as a thank you to Bluey Recaps for all they've done!

I.B.F.Fs: The Magic Watch

Zura and Sophie find a magical watch in the drawer and decide to use it upon Fang and Luna as payback for how they annoyed them the other day. The only trouble is, their mischievous antics turn them into a lion and a scout leader, and Sophie and Zura must find a way to destroy it, leading to lots of trouble...

Staying Home

This book helped me when Lee-Anne and Siobhan didn't take me out due to the car being fixed. It'll help you with daily life when you too are stuck at home during the Coronavirus pandemic, because the pandemic is getting worse...but Scotland's Covid restrictions are easing, so it's no big deal. Enjoy the story!

Camping: An I.B.F.Fs Friendship Tale - Chapter 1 - Campout

Introducing Sophie, Fang, Zura and Luna!

They're going camping in the forest near the beach with their families, who live altogether under one roof thanks to a monster rehabilitation organisation. It'll be pure, real camping!

Never Give Up...

I have a very special announcement to make about my stories...

I've finally decided to change my characters due to copyright issues! Now, for I.B.F.Fs, you'll expect to see Luke, Resus and Cleo as Fang, Zura and Luna. Furaha will remain the same in Me, You, And..., and so will her family, but characters from properties like Transformers, Power Rangers and Care Bears have to be altered and given different names, and the settings will have to be changed too. As for my beloved Kipper, he's now a German Shepard named Rowan, and his best friend Tiger is now a dalmatian named Spot, after the main character from the Disney animated TV series Teacher's Pet. In place of Pig and Arnold, there are two new characters, two lions named Lionel (named after the lion cub in PBS' Between The Lions) and his 3-year-old mutual cousin Leo. So now, every Tuesday and Wednesday, I'll bring you a chapter a week of Camping: An I.B.F.Fs Friendship Tale and the first I.B.F.Fs anthology book, I.B.F.Fs: The Magic Watch. Stay tuned tomorrow as I'll bring you the first chapter of Camping: An I.B.F.Fs Friendship Tale!

I couldn't find any more ideas for a group activity based on The Adventure...

I.B.F.Fs: Milkshakes In Equestria

Luke, Resus, Cleo and I wake up in Equestria after stumbling upon a magical library book which allows its readers to be transported to the world of My Little Pony for just one day. To pass the time while we wait for midnight, when we can be transported home, Twilight asks for our help in setting up her milkshake making business at Sugarcube Corner with her friends.

I.B.F.Fs: Time For Breakfast

Luke, Resus, Cleo and I are delighted at the fact of bacon-and-cheese sandwiches for a real breakfast, so we decide to make our parents 'brunch' by mixing cereal, milk, orange juice, eggs, toast and jam altogether to create the best breaklunch ever!
