Two friends paint at easels side by side, making pictures from lines, shapes and colours, while scissors are cut with slowly, passed closed with the handles first and put away in a cup. Your paint stays on your own paper, a kind word about a friend's sun makes them smile, and the video ends on "safe" with tools and "kind" to friends.
