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.

mmm, Captain Jack and Chris ....

I still can't watch it, because apparently MN isn't my friend sulks and pouts in the corner

how's this for dedicated? dying in bed of a cold swine flu and have brought laptop with me. excus bad typing - laying down

Am possibly to excited to eat my lunch, he is going to answer all the questions from yesterday as well isn't he? I also have a vested interest in the replies the lovely chris gives to morningpaper's questions, am off to check out the facebook page while I wait :-)

Poor bloke is probably, at this moment in time, knocking back a few swift brandies for Dutch courage -I bet he's petrified.

I'm loving the shiny website btw I have been

[swot]

especially this tip

"Don?t let children pester you into buying unhealthy foods in the supermarket. Make a shopping list ? and then buy only what?s on the list."

Hi Chris

I just wondered if you really are that arty and came up with some of the creative ideas yourself or are you just following instructions?

Chris, are you currently pleading with mnhq to let you just go home? and would you like me to hold your hand?

that is not his hand and you know it!

it's quite quiet round here

is everyone off getting into their burlesque outfits?

I would like to christen this chat....the moistfest

I'm here - wiping snot off my face and trying to hack into a hankie in an alluring way

thefool - isn't it? if dh is allowed a crush on sarah-fecking-jayne then im allowed a crush on chris!

The moment has arrived and we have Chris Corcoran live from his home (I think) in Wales - Welcome to Mumsnet Chris Corcoran...

Chris

DEfend yourself from what you said about us before.

And are you nicer than Mr maker?

(o)(o) (to distract from the snot)

Oh my, this is possibly the most exciting thing to happen on a Friday for AGES!

Chris, would you ever consider doing an art programme for older children? Then I could watch it with dd and pretend I was being a lovely supportive mother, who is taking an interest in her

Okay, I have finally worked out my question:

Chris, on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being perfectly calm and 10 being on the next plane out of here, just how scared are you right now?

Washersaurus ? not at all. Crafts creative, nutrition creative. You need loads of ingredients to make a cup and ball game and you need a load of ingredients to make stuff to stop everything tasting of chicken.
