Dot Day

We had an amazing time making dots for Dot Day! What is Dot Day you ask? 

International Dot Day is staged to encourage people of all ages to harness their creativity. The inspiration behind the event is the children's book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds.

We made dots on our special paper and when scanned by the Quiver app, it becomes 3D! It is so super cool! They cannot wait to show you so I sent the papers home today.  The links to download the app are below.

We also made dots by coloring coffee filters and then spraying them to watch the colors bleed. 

and water colored our own dots.
