International Dot Day falls this year on Sunday, September 15th, but weβll be celebrating on tomorrow, Friday, September 13th!
Inspired by the beloved childrenβs book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds, Dot Day encourages us all to make our mark in the worldβjust like Vashti, who began her journey of self-discovery with a simple dot on a piece of paper.
On Friday, September 13th, letβs spread the joy of creativity and self-expression by dressing up in your favorite dotted outfit! Whether you choose polka dots, colorful spots, or even homemade creations, show off your unique style and inspire others to embrace their inner artist. Remember, creativity knows no bounds! π π»
