The girls and I spent some time this morning looking at fun mosaics from all over the world and time. They especially liked these:
I always find it so interesting what art pieces children are drawn to.
We even found a fun one made out of buttons:
By the end of our little research I had a solution for the bag of clearance Easter confetti that I had bought for 9 cents last Spring. We made confetti mosaics with a glue stick and simple coloring pages.
I think the amount of patience required to fill little spaces gave everyone an increase appreciation for the intricacy of ancient art mosaics. In the end, M turned her page into "mixed media" leaving the rooster feathers a mosaic and coloring the rest.
And yes, of course, the floor ended up something of an art work in itself!
