A dot that turns into a picture

After reading the book 'The Dot', each child turns their dot into any picture.

Steps

1. The teacher reads Peter H. Reynolds' book 'The Dot' and talks with children about courage in creating.
2. Each child gets a piece of paper with a large coloured dot stuck anywhere.
3. Children draw elements so that the dot becomes something: a sun, a ladybug, a balloon, a face.
4. Signed by the authors, the works create an exhibition 'Everyone is an artist'.

Tip: Ask children to come in polka dot clothes that day.
