Celebrate Oops Day!

By | | ,

Illustrated text reads "Celebrate Oops Day! A program to foster creativity" on a colorful background.

Have you read the book Beautiful Oops! by Barney Saltzberg?  Celebrate Oops on January 15, 2015!

It is a super fun, interactive book that teaches kids that it’s OK to make mistakes!  From their website:  “CELEBRATE OOPS! is an initiative designed to build confidence and turn accidents into teaching moments. Launching on January 15, 2015 CELEBRATE OOPS! will instill an important life lesson (it’s okay to make mistakes) and foster a great spirit of creativity in your classroom and/or library.”

Watch a video of the book here:

Download an educator guide for ideas and lesson plans (including this art lesson that I shared) and sign up to receive classroom materials!

Barney also has a book called A Little Oomph which is really fun!

Quote on a yellow background: "When you think you have made a mistake, think of it as an opportunity to create something beautiful. Celebrate Oops Day!
