One artist correlates the ten colors to a base ten counting system and uses color to teach young children about numbers. With each color representing a number, students are able to create visual pictures of math equations and use imagery to remember important number facts. This video is excerpted from BBC News.
In Andy Warhol, Revolutionary Artist and Icon, host Lily Cole explores the life and lasting influence of Andy Warhol. Warhol was an artist who became famous for his unique perspective on consumerism, fame, and the culture of mass production.

In The Go Jetters Fly High Over the Nazca Lines, the Go Jetters crew is flying high in the sky and sees giant pictures on the ground below. These pictures, called the Nazca lines, are in the Nazca Desert in Peru. The pictures, or "geoglyphs," were made by people long ago who carefully moved stones and sand to reveal lighter-colored sand beneath. Because there is little wind or rain here, the pictures have stayed the same for hundreds of years! This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four plucky international heroes as they travel the globe visiting the world’s most famous landmarks with their friend and mentor, Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
In Hunting With the Masters: The Art of Survival in Deniui, host Simon Reeve visits a remote village in Deniui, Namibia, where some of the world’s last expert wildlife hunters live. The locals welcome Simon and teach him survival skills, like digging deep into the sand to find poisonous beetle larvae. He watches as they craft toxic darts for hunting, a skill passed down to young men as a vital part of providing for their families. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Wilderness With Simon Reeve, an epic adventure into the heart of Earth’s last great wild areas, where nature is at its most beautiful and fragile.
Aw, look at these little critters. Just snip, roll and stick to make a butterfly, dragonfly, or a ladybug. Too easy! You'll need your own popsicles sticks. Here's what you'll do:
- Cut out the bits on the page. Glue the wings to the sticks first! Then roll and stick on the bodies. Make sure to leave a gap at the top of each stick for the head.
- Roll the heads into smaller loops and tape shut. Then curl the antennae (feelers!) around a pencil and glue them on top of the heads.
- Tape the heads at the top of the sticks. Ding ching! Say hello to your bug friends!
Fold, snip, and unfold to create paperchains with loads of Floppys. So cute! Here's how:
- Color the Floppys. Ask a grown-up to help you cut out the strips along the black dashed lines.
- Fold back and fold along the white dotted lines (don't snip!). Then cut along the orange dashed lines. Now unfold your Floppy paper chains!
Top Tip: Glue the pages to pink paper before you snip out, so that it looks nice on the back too! Add cotton wool bunny tails to the back of your Floppys.
Create a brand-new toy for Unicorse to marry. He may be a grub, but he just wants to find luuurve! Here's how:
1. Choose a unicorn horn and hairdo. Snip or tear them out.
2. Cut out the strips to add some hair — maybe some crazy curls!
3. Paste all the bits around the face to create your newnicorse!
Snip and stick to create some cool bits to put around the classroom or house:
- Make a 3D pumpkin: Cut out the long orange stripes. Stick two together four times to make long stripes. Fold and tape to make four hoops. Tape the hoops together to make a pumpkin shape. Use the smaller strip to make a handle, then stick on the eyes and mouth. Boo-tiful!
- Create a bouncing Bing-ghost: cut along the dashed lines and hang up your ghost with string. BOO!
