Finger Tips is a television programme by The Foundation for CITV, first broadcast in 2000. Presented by Stephen Mulhern and Fearne Cotton (later replaced by Naomi Wilkinson). The show is about creating models out of household items and aimed at a child audience.
The motto of the show is, to show the children „how to make things easily with [their] fingers”. It’s a creative magazine for children, so it includes more than drawing, painting and artworks.
There are different categories:
- Food-finger tips: Easy cooking and baking recipes
- Fizzics-finger tips: Fun and experiments with science
- Fun- finger tips: Self-made games
- Green-finger tips: Tips and ideas for plants and gardens
- Cryptic-finger tips: Making cryptographs
- Techno- finger tips: Artworks made with the computer
- Little Finger Tips : Artworks made from everyday objects
At the end is always the presentation of a motto-party, including costumes, food, decoration and the fabrication of a party-game.
Special challenge is the 1-minute-game. In this game one of the presenters tries to make something with only a few things in less than 60 seconds.
The show is broadcasted in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Greece, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Austria and Canada.
