Then I did a few doodles on the paint when it had dried. I took a piece of paper, scrunched it, and then dropped and smudged paint on top. To make my Oops artwork I decided to make a mix of ideas from the book. Why don’t you ask them what prompt they would like to use? Children can cut holes in the paper, tear it, splatter paint, spill ink. Young children will love to get their hands on the book there are flaps to lift, holes to stick fingers through, paper to scrunch.įor a child (or adult) who thinks art has to be perfect to be beautiful – this book will encourage them to see each ‘Oops’ as the start of the creative process.Īny page of this book could be used as a prompt to encourage the creative process with your child. The thick pages and bright colours means it won’t be easily pulled apart by little fingers.
So while on one side of the page a paint spill could have lead to tears, by lifting the flap you can see that the spill has a million creative possibilities. Each spill, tear and smudge can just add to the artwork you want to create. This Beautiful Oops activity is a preschool book craft focusing on fine motor skills with a concentration on awareness of differences, making mistakes, and not focusing on specific details, using a creative book activity based on the book, Beautiful Oops by Barney Saltzberg. The book explains that in art, it’s not about being perfect – it’s about being creative. It has bright colourful pages photographs of paint, paper and all kinds of art supplies. When you look at Beautiful Oops by Barney Saltzberg, you know it is going to be a fun book.

When we review a book, we’ll let you know why we love it, and also give you some ideas on how to explore it deeper with your child. Books are great for exposure to literacy though at Barefoot Play we believe books can be taken further encourage questioning, creativity, thinking skills. A great picture book should not just be read, it should be loved over and over again by both children and adults.
