International Dot Day

It is international dot day! A day dedicated to creativity, courage, and collaboration. Imagine how great the world could be if every day we tried to make a new friend, create great works of art, and work together. Both monkeys had nearly identical lunches so I'm including the video of The Dot story at the end of the post.

International Dot Day

Did you know it's International Dot Day? I didn't either until our school emailed all of us that the kids would be participating in Dot Day celebrations today, learn something new every day :). We didn't have the book The Dot by Peter Reynolds, but as luck would have it I found it on YouTube. The monkeys and I watched it last night, and then we talked about it and how we would make today extra creative. At school they asked the kids to wear polka dots. At preschool little Blue Monkey went straight to the paint easel and mixed those colors until the paper couldn't hold anymore.
