It doesn’t have to end up with arms and legs. It’s a neat opportunity for kids to see the shape as something else. If glue is too messy, a bit of paint can be blown with a straw and altered after it dries. I like tissue paper over glue too….you can layer it and get neat color combinations, then add arms and legs and a head.Ĥ. Give it a face when it dries or put arms and legs on it and add a head with a soft fabric pom-pom (also found in bags at a craft store.)ģ. Use bags of confetti with foil paper or regular tissue paper to put on the glue. Take some white glue and to pour it on to a piece of cardboard or a paper or plastic plate and let the glue just ooze where it wants to.Ģ. Oops Simulated Ideas: (not the result of an actual oops but still creative) from my sister, a former kindergarten teacher.ġ.
Honestly, an ‘oops’ is in the ‘moment’…It’s a creative solution to a happening. That was the beginning of Beautiful Oops. I decided it looked like an alligator’s mouth. One day, I was sitting in my studio and tore a piece of paper in half. Teachers requested that I write a book, teaching that concept. Rather than starting over, I painted clouds over each paw print. A dog climbed up on to my desk and walked across the paper, leaving paw prints that I couldn’t erase. The other is from an old book of mine, The Flying Garbanzos. I spilled coffee on it and decided the shape looked like a monster. Two of the images I show how I turned mistakes into artwork.
