​Welcome video!

STEP 1: Do you remember watching this book video with Mrs. Hansen?... Beautiful Oops!
​Watch it again with your family or by yourself. What are some mistakes we make? How can we turn them into a "Beautiful Oops!"?

Step 3: Time to make your "Beautiful Oops!"

Use any art materials you have to create
drips and drops, blips and blops.
What do you see?
Don't have art materials?
Ask your family if...
you can use mud on the sidewalk,
ketchup on a plate or
sticks and leaves from outside.
​Let your imagination run wild!
