Mister Maker is a children's TV show that debuted in 2007 under the Zodiak Kids production banner. The show starred Phil Gallagher, who became known for his high-energy and humorous approach to art. The program is known for being highly interactive, with viewers encouraged to participate in the various craft projects and art activities that were presented on each episode.

The show was set in Mister Maker's 'Makery', a colourful studio filled with various materials, such as paper, paint, and glue, which were used in creating the various craft projects. Mister Maker would start each episode by greeting the audience and then diving right into the day's project. The show made use of a variety of materials, including recycled items and household objects, to encourage viewers to get creative and to demonstrate how art can be made from materials found around the home.

One of the standout features of the show was the inclusion of 'The Shapes', a group of animated characters who would help Mister Maker in his craft-making endeavours. The Shapes included a circle, square, rectangle, and triangle, and each one had its unique personality and style. The Shapes were a way to introduce young children to basic shapes and colours while also providing a fun and entertaining addition to the show.

Each episode of Mister Maker was made up of several different segments. In addition to the craft-making projects, there were also segments featuring a 'Minute Make' challenge, where a craft had to be completed in under a minute, and 'Doodle Drawers', where Mister Maker would draw a picture and then ask viewers to guess what it was. Other segments included 'Arty Party', where Mister Maker would show kids how to create decorations and games for a themed party, and 'Frame It', where Mister Maker would create frames for his artwork.

One of the things that made Mister Maker stand out from similar programs was its upbeat and energetic style. Phil Gallagher's engaging personality and sense of humour made the show entertaining for both children and adults. The show had a positive message about the importance of creativity and encouraged kids to get crafty and use their imaginations. The Makery studio was always colourful and filled with interesting objects, which added to the fun and playful vibe of the show.

Another aspect of the show that made it unique was its use of music. Each episode featured several songs that were catchy and upbeat, with lyrics that encouraged kids to get creative and make art. The songs had a range of musical styles, from pop to rock to reggae, and were sung by various characters on the show, including Mister Maker himself.

In addition to the TV show, Mister Maker also had a range of merchandise, including DVDs, books, and craft kits. The merchandising was popular among parents and kids alike, as it allowed them to bring the creative spirit of the show into their homes.

Overall, Mister Maker was a fun and entertaining TV show that encouraged kids to get creative and use their imaginations. With its colourful set, engaging host, and range of art-making activities, it quickly became a favourite among young children and their parents alike. Although the show has not been on air since 2009, its legacy as an entertaining and educational program for young children continues to live on.
