Mrs. Ashley read Beautiful Oops. today during Library. It was a brand new book to me and now is on my favorites list. I couldn't figure out how best to describe it and so I have copied and pasted the description below from Amazon.
A life lesson that all parents want their children to learn: It’s OK to make a mistake. In fact, hooray for mistakes! A mistake is an adventure in creativity, a portal of discovery. A spill doesn’t ruin a drawing—not when it becomes the shape of a goofy animal. And an accidental tear in your paper? Don’t be upset about it when you can turn it into the roaring mouth of an alligator.
An award winning, best-selling, one-of-a-kind interactive book, Beautiful Oops! shows young readers how every mistake is an opportunity to make something beautiful. A singular work of imagination, creativity, and paper engineering, Beautiful Oops! is filled with pop-ups, lift-the-flaps, tears, holes, overlays, bends, smudges, and even an accordion “telescope”—each demonstrating the magical transformation from blunder to wonder.

Once she was done reading it. She had the children go to the table to find a paper with an oops on it. Oops were rips, lines, folds, dots, and tears. The children then used the oops papers to create these beautiful masterpieces. The children did such a nice job disguising the oops that I had a hard time finding the oops on each paper.
