There are different categories:

* Finger Tips Top Make: A major project, normally at the start of the show

* Food Finger Tips: Easy cooking and baking recipes

* Fun Finger Tips: Self-made games

* Little Finger Tips: Items made for making over odds and ends from around the home

* Makeover Finger Tips: Basically the same as "Little Finger Tips"- replaced it in later shows

"Top Make" and "Little" or "Make-Over Finger Tips" featured in every show, and "Fun" and "Food Tips" were usually in alternate shows. There were also more specialised categories which ran briefly, they were:

* Fizzics Finger-Tips: Fun science experiment

* Green Finger-Tips: Plant-related project

* Techno Finger-Tips: Projects using a computer

* Party Finger-Tips: Party idea

Special challenge is the "One-Minute-Make". In this game one of the presenters tries to make something with only a few things in less than 60 seconds. This featured in every show, with one presenter making the project, and the other timing it, alternating in each episode.
