Try something other than crayons and paint to decorate your next picture. Use the art of mosaic to increase hand-eye coordination and create one-of-a-kind masterpieces!

Time: 15 minutes
Age: Any age
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Simple background image
  • Felt (paper or foam would also work)
  • Scissors
  • Glue

  • Our materials.


    Method
  • Find an image; I love to search google colouring pages as there is always a good selection of simple images to choose from. For example, the dinosaur image was google search "tyrannosaurus colouring page".

  • Cut your selected material into squares. The size of the squares can be adapted to the age of the artist and/or the detail of the image selected. We used just under 1 cm by 1 cm squares for the dinosaur and 1.5 cm by 1.5 cm squares for the butterfly.

  • The larger butterfly squares were easier for my toddler to handle.

  • Spread glue on a small section of the image and start placing squares.



  • We have some birthdays coming up so I simply cut out the completed images and mounted them on cardstock backgrounds to create unique birthday cards!

  • Trex is mounted on full piece of green cardstock folded in half. A one third piece of yellow paper was layered under light cardboard mountains.


    The butterfly is mounted on a full piece of light blue cardstock folded in half. I watermarked a piece of vellum with a filagree pattern and cut to cover the front piece of the card.
