~ Handicraft - Mosaic Paper Art ~

This is a very simple Art & Craft that children will enjoy. All you need is coloured papers, scissors and glue. I used the old magazines and cut out those unwanted paper from the children's old drawing so as to minimize the wastage of paper.

The children are quite familiar with using the scissors. (Especially Gladys) Since this is their first try, I gave them a small rectangular area to work on. All they need to do is to cut or even tear the paper into different shapes, sizes and glue the small pieces together (like a mosaic). It can be in any direction, any place! :) It is so simple that the children can do it themselves and at the same time learn how to handle the scissors and how to glue.

3 Simple Steps: Cut, Apply Glue, Stick

Once it's done, I frame it up using the old IKEA wooden frames that I bought years ago. They are very light frames and can easily sticked onto walls using Bluetacks. ^_^ Gladys' art is more irregular compared to Denver's more organised artwork. But both are unique on it's own and look really pretty.

It's FUN for the kids and they feel good seeing their artwork on the wall. Next time, I'll probably let them try making a picture (e.g. Fish, Heart, Ball) using Mosaic art. :)
