Mister Maker

I love the artistic design behind this show. It encourages children to make art, and who wouldn't like that?

When you do watch this show though, you might realize that there's hardly a moment of silence in this show. There is a lot of noise - relaxing noises, weird noises, and even noises like shouting, wowing, and laughing. It's a myriad of noise, noise, noise! You hear a new sound effect every single second. It has the feel of those ASMR videos you find on YouTube, only each ASMR is extended into 22 minutes and shown on television. I guess that preschool children like this show because of the weird noises that would appeal to them and the fact that art is being made on the show. However, I think adults and teenagers would like this show too.

Overall? A great show for any age (unless you're just not into a show with a myriad of weird noises).

My 4 year old boy loves this show. It is telecast here on ABC2 and we never miss an episode. It is fantastic to see a show that promotes imaginative play and teaches kids that toys/objects can be made from easily obtainable goods. So great that not everything is a marketable store bought item. As a mum of a very lucky little boy who has many amazing store bought toys, it is nice to see him so wrapped with a show that does the complete opposite and isn't based on shameless merchandising and cross promotion. Along with stalwarts like Playschool it is so great that shows like this still exist amongst big name productions. I notice Phil writes and stars in this show so thanks Phil for bringing back old school fun.
