In celebration of International Dot Day (September 15th-ish) I am making a special second blog post today! I learned about Dot Day through Patricia Tilton’s awesome blog “Children’s Books Heal.” Dot Day is celebrated around the world. The goal of Dot Day is to help kids (and grown-ups) express themselves and be creative. The day is based on Peter H. Reynolds great picture book “The Dot.”
For a summary and review of “The Dot” please visit Ms. Tilton’s website HERE. To learn more about International Dot Day, please visit the official website HERE! My sister and I decided to make our own dots. Please visit Josie’s blog to see her dot by clicking HERE.
This is the dot I made!
“Dot” by Erik 2012
Love your collage-dot, Erik; I need to pop over and see Josie’s now!
Thanks Ms. Marple!
Thanks for checking out Josie’s!
Oh WOW! WOW! That is so COOL! Erik. what a great artistic dot! I keep looking at it trying to pick out what you used to create this masterpiece, material, pictures, papers…… Well done!
Thank you Ms. Tulloch! I am glad you like it!
Cool! I love making collages — what a great idea to make a collage dot! This is great, Erik! (And I already saw Josie’s — love her rainbow of hand-prints.)
I am glad you like our dots! I like yours too!
Hey Erik – you have a great sense of color! Wunderbar!
Thank you Ms. Zoch! Here’s something funny – I’m red-green colorblind!
I can tell bold colors from light colors. 
Sorry ’bout that! But obviously you have a good sense of that which you do see!
Don’t be sorry! I don’t know any different!
Driving may prove a challenge as a few states differ in how they arrange their traffic lights! I say sorry, because a color-blind friend often gets (lovingly) teased!
Oh. I better start memorizing!
What a totally cool dot, Erik! I love it! So colorful and creative!
Thanks Ms. Hill!
I love your dots too!
What a cool dot! I love your collage.
Thanks Ms. Larson! I am glad you like my dot!
Thank you! You’ve put a smile on my face!
Looks like fun! And it has personality.
It is fun! Thanks Mrs. Isenhoff!
What a great concept! 100% support from me!
HAHAHA! You have really awesome Dots Mr. Ansbro!
Great ‘dot’ Erik. I love the idea of ‘International Dot Day’ and have been promoting it in this part of the world (New Zealand). Thanks for sharing your wonderful post and artwork
Thank you very much! Thanks for visiting my blog too and please come again!
Oh I missed this virtual party, Erik. I know about Peter Reynolds and most of his works, but have not really had a chance to get them from our libraries – now I feel more than ever that I’m missing out on so much. Your ‘dot’ here is very creative! Lovely collage!
Thank you Ms. Bascal! I am glad you like my dot!
