Making It

Making It celebrates the constructive and creative ingenuity of children in the UK, Jamaica, South Africa, Namibia, Brazil and Australia. Each short programme shows a child, or sometimes a group of children, working hard to make something from beginning to end. This could be something useful, entertaining or beautiful. Children are given the chance to put their skills into action and bring an idea to life. 41 x 5 min.
