Wha-hoo! So much snow today! Messy Monster, Felix and Zoe are making a snowman.

‘I like you’, says Felix to the snowman ‘Oh yes, we like you very much’, says Zoe.

It will be so nice to have a snow friend...

‘Please, Messy Monster wake him up! Make him move’.

‘I know what a snowman needs to be alive.... just a little heart inside!’ says Messy Monster.

‘Wakey, wakey little snowman...’

‘Can you feel your heart beat?’ asks Messy Monster.

‘Hey! let’s play’, says Snowman.

‘Hooray! Hooray!’

‘Let’s have a gigantic snow ball fight!’ says Snowman.

They were so happy to play, jump and feel their little hearts beat...

Let’s listen to the heart!

Design & Illustration by: Kevin Tang

The first stethoscope was invented by a French doctor who was too shy to put his ear against a lady’s chest.

Let’s make a stethoscope with a cardboard tube. Paint some patterns on it.

He thought of making a tube by rolling up some sheets of paper and used that to listen to the heart of his beautiful patient.

He heard the beating of the heart very clearly indeed!

He had invented the stethoscope.

Place it over someones heart and listen to the heartbeat.

Try listening to someones heart after they’ve done some exercise.

Notice any difference?

Make a red plasticine ball. Fold the paper along the dotted lines on the left hand drawing to form a path. Move the ball back and forth between the lungs and heart. How many times can you keep the ball moving without it falling? If you find it too difficult, fold back the edges!

THE VAMPIRE PIG Poem by: Gabby Dawnay Illustration by: Baldo

The vampire pig has fangs of white.

He sleeps by day and hunts by night.

While other pigs delight in mud, The vampire pig, he dreams of blood…

Oh how we fear this little swine Who on your neck has cruel design!

Oh what a wicked little beast Who longs upon your blood to feast…

Like other pigs he’s plump and pink, But if he says he’d like a drink Run quickly past and loudly shout “Just take away your drooling snout!”

“You may not be so very big, But what sharp fangs, you crafty pig!”

Keep your distance, never stop – He’ll suck your blood - yes every drop.

This issue of OKIDO is about blood circulation and the heart. Messy Monster, Felix and Zoe make a new friend. Zam’s knee is bleeding so Zim and Zoom explain what blood is and how it travels everywhere in the body...Yoga Monkey tries out some new sports, and Squirrel Boy feels his heart beating really fast after doing lots of exercise. Watch out for the naughty beast who has buzzed through the magazine biting lots of characters. Will Pop and Puff dicover who it is?

And much, much more to play, cook and draw!

Enjoy!
