It's Not A Rash, It's Dots!

Guess what!?! It's International Dot Week!!!!

Feeling boggled? Not sure what that is? 



It all starts with a book by Peter H. Reynolds, called The Dot! This book encourages children to embrace their own creativity and take a risk! Why not watch it with your child below?




We joined in with students from ALL AROUND THE WORLD to watch a live stream of Mr. Reynolds himself reading the book! Neato!



Creative juices got flowing and we designed brightly coloured dots ... and then brought them to life! Using the augmented reality app QuiverVision we made our dots 3-D! (think Pokemon Go). Check the bottom of your child's art page for directions on how to download the app and make magic!


It's beautiful, but you should see it in 3D!

The children were then tasked with a challenge! Following multi-step directions and with fine motor-skills warmed up, the kids made dot-tastic designs!





Art project inspired by Theresa Wells-Taylor


Keep making your mark, kids!
