This was one of those art projects that evolved out of our recycling projects. If you recall, we made crayons for the little ones downstairs. As we peeled all of those crayons, I couldn't find it in my heart to throw away those colorful wrappers. They looked so pretty in that bowl. Well - mosaic begins with the letter Mm - and Mm was our letter of the week.
Mosaics can be made of anything - so why not colorful crayon wrappers? It was truly a fine motor project, but I think they turned out great. Each one was different and put a spin on the traditional South Carolina Palmetto tree. We had many suggestions of how to use this art project, but agreed that a magnet was probably the best choice. (Although a charm for a necklace was a close second.) I hope you enjoy this little masterpiece. It took a little more time than expected, but each is an original - created one little piece of a paper at a time.
