The open ended art theme at Teaching My Little Bookworm this week is Mosaics with Paper.
M’s cousin S was over the day we did this. She is an artsy little 4 year old and I knew she would definitely want in on the action.
I set up a tray of colored paper cut into squares, as well as some templates cut from cardstock. Knowing that our summer days are numbered, I was trying for a summer theme so I cut out a butterfly, a sun, a star, and a beach ball:
I gave them each some glue and they got busy! (That would be a puddle of glue that you see forming on M’s beach ball. He’s crazy when it comes to glue.)
(The necklaces they are wearing were from their previous project – they spent the entire day creating stuff. It was great!)
Here’s the finished pieces:
We are planning to create a mobile from these, but it just hasn’t happened yet!
Check here for more great mosaic ideas!
Have a beautiful day!

ReplyDeleteThese are great Nicole! This is such a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThese are all so colorful. I love the shapes too. A mobile is a super fun idea!! When you do it you should post it so everyone can see it:-)--I'd love too!
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty neat. I didn't precut paper for our project, because usually Anna likes to cut. Big mistake - she was done after the second strip. Your mosaic turned out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty :)
