Live webchat with Doodle Do presenter Chris Corcoran, Friday 10 July, 1-2pm

[HelenMumsnet]

Chris Corcoran, presenter of CBeebies' Doodle Do will be joining us for a live webchat on Mumsnet on Friday between 1-2pm.

And, lovely chap that he is, he's recorded a special pre-webchat video for you to watch - see below.

To celebrate Children's Art Week (6-12 July), Chris has joined forces with Haliborange to host a series of exclusive creative master classes for its newly launched Shiny School. Chris has created three imaginative tutorials for Haliborange Shiny School, designed to suit ages 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12 years and needing no specialised or expensive equipment. The site gives parents ideas and tips on how to have fun and learn something new as a family, and also provides nutritional advice.

Chris is happy to answer all your questions (within reason!) during this sponsored chat, and will also be giving some creative inspiration for things to do with your children over the summer holidays.

If you can't make it on the day, please feel free to post your advance questions here.

Simples tell me all about SJ coming here.

do you agree that Smart is crap?

do you agree that if you are really that talented you should immediately get a place at art college?

why does it go from making things out of pipe cleaners at 5 years old to being interested in professional sand sculptures at 7?

Are you still there Chris? has he gone, have we scared him off? maybe a live video link would allay my fears...

i will, later.

fartdust the way to get lots of lolly sticks is to eat lots of Magnums

that's my tip of the week

I think I love you!

He's scared of MP's questions! He is!

Chris: Do you ever want to smack Alex in the face for the pitying expression he wears the whole feckin time (or is that just me)??

I think you've scared him off!

Hi MP! Right then...in order...

Not gay
Yes girlfriend
Absolutely! Bizarrely that is what my GF looks like!
All sounded normal to me
Yes. used to teach and always enjoyed it
Prefer rugby and Sartre
Never tried it no - I see your point
Of course not - in the same way I never swear in a shop for no apparent reason!
No idea - like to know thaat myself
Yes - all part of the plan. Sorry

I'd just like to point out that I am neither hormonal nor bored. Well, sometimes I'm hormonal, it comes and goes you see. I'm certainly not bored. Why just this morning I rearranged my tins. Which should be a euphemism. But sadly isn't.

Thanks edam ? my theory is kids are just little humans and they don?t need to be spoken too any differently. Don?t know why no one else does it. Maybe it helps I used to be a teacher!

LOL at SOH.

is alex the deathly dull new guy?

Hi snice everyone hates each other. All kicked off last year between the Tweenies and Teletubbies ? luckily Postman Pat was there to calm everyone down by reading loads of junk mail till everyone got bored and went to the bar for Tizer. P.s. very hard to photocopy someone else?s bottom ? best thing to do is do your own and then give them the copy.

Hi Ruddynorah Yep peg butterflies hands down.

Hi Ruddynorah Best? Cup and ball game ? no question

CHRIS SPOKE TO ME!

help

as i said there is a toolbox-worth of mixed up crayons pencils and scissors and rulers scattered from one end of house to the other, shall we play 'pick up sticks'?

hi ruddynorah yeah I improv the commentary ? I liked tht bit too!

OK thank you very much. I had to do some cross referencing there.

Can I just conclude for everyone: HE LIKES BIRDS AND WEARS THOSE TROUSERS JUST FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE

ALL GOOD NEWS

SOH
