Draw a light outline in pencil on the outside of the card. Kids might need your help with this step. Cut colored paper into small uniform squares, about the size of a thumbnail. As you re cutting, have kids sort the pieces by color in the cups of an egg carton. Now it s time to fill in the outline with the colored squares.
Kids can glue the squares on the paper in any pattern or design they like.
They can leave a narrow space between pieces, have the edges touch or overlap the pieces. For variation, use confetti or holes from a paper punch for the mosaic pieces. Click here to tell us what you think. Be sure to include the name of the activity in the subject heading. Inc. All rights reserved.
