I cannot remember where I got this idea, but I did this both with just my children and at one of their birthday parties. At the birthday party we made mosaic Winnie-the-Poohs.
Mosaic Butterflies
(or whatever object you wish)
Targeted ages:(or whatever object you wish)
1-5
Supplies List:
- clear contact paper
- black marker
- scissors
- gift tissue in several colors
Directions
- Create butterfly (or whatever you want) on a piece of paper and cut out. This is so you can make multiple mosaics of the same object; if you just want to make one, you can draw directly on the conatact paper.
- With a black marker, trace 1 copy of your object onto clear contact paper. Use enough contact paper to have made 2 objects if you folded it in half. (Do not peel off the paper backing yet.)
- Allow your child to tear gift tissue into small to medium sized pieces. I recommend using several different color of tissue, the brighter the better.
- Remove the paper backing from the tracing of your chosen object.
- Have your child cover the adhesive side of the object with the torn pieces of tissue.
- Remove the paper backing from the remaining contact paper and fold over, enclosing the tissue between the two layers.
- Cut out the object.
