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.

OMG !!!! HE SPOKE TO ME!!!!!

ah yes, but i can't be expected to remember people's REAL names.

Cappo is that really you ???

Ha ha Chris, we were all here the night before she met you giving her instructions as to what to say/do to you!

nearly missed this thanks to children wanting to paint and stuff
Waves..Hi Chris

Isn't the arty one Bizzy Lizze? always wiping her grubby fingers over the camera lens and scribbling on it with a felt pen. Just like my 3 year old as it happens...

Isn't the woman on smarteenies who encourages kids to put inky thumb prints on all the glass called lizzie?

oh boysarelikedogs

they'll swoon at anyone round here

Hi scrappydappydoo na, not really! People are always great and come to gigs having seen doodle which is great

I'm a farking great role model. I didn't photocopy my bottom for many years. What more do you want?

History teachers beat geography teachers every time. Our geography teacher reeked of mothballs and wore court shoes fgs. History teacher was cool. Ran off with a student though. But that's what you get for going to a small town comprehensive.

I am swooning at you

You awright mate?

Great to see you

and are you on Twitter?

awaits to stalk follow on twitter

PLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE tell me where I can find out about these gigs of which you speak

Ah yes. BUSY Lizzie. Different kettle o fish completely.

Chris, are you going to be performing in the Edinburgh Festival?

I just looked at the Shiny School website to look at what they edited Lesley's webchat to, and noticed that one of your projects is fruit puppets - have you no shame man ? Banana puppets to entertain your parents with ?

I fancied MANY of my teachers, I have an authority fetish, but my geog teacher was ridiculously good looking.

hi themildmanneredjanitor yes exactly what I expected - good fun this. One thing though why do you all have such long names it takes about a day to reply! You should all have names like Janey or Jane or J. Not all of obviously - you get my point

am loving that there is very little talk of arts, crafts or vitamins,Chris could you come back tomorrow and answer serious questions ? (racks brain to think of some..)

we abbreviate. TMMJ knows that is mildmannered etc...

copy & paste Chris - it's an amazing thing you know

well, I am still waiting for you to answer my question...you can call me farty if the long name is what's stopping you.

I'm not entertaining my Dad with a banana puppet. He has a weak heart. He saw Lily Allen on Glasto coverage and had to have a tablet.
