Magical Mosaic Cup

Why

Kids combine colored bits of paper to cover a paper cup with mosaic. Fill the cup with Crayola® art supplies or soil to plant seeds! The best part is it's mess-free!

Steps

1. Use Crayola Color Wonder Markers to fill a piece of Color Wonder Paper with many different colors.

2. Tear the colored paper into strips. Tear strips into small pieces.

3. Use a Crayola Glue Stick to attach paper bits to the outside of a paper cup. Rub the glue stick on the cup and press the paper onto it. Make a mosaic picture or a creative design.

4. Use your cup to hold your art supplies, or fill it with soil and plant some seeds.

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Interesting Info

Mosaic (pronounced mo-ZAY-ik) is the art of arranging pieces of marble, glass, tile, wood, or other materials to create a surface design. In ancient Egypt, furniture and jewelry were decorated with bits of glass and colored stone to make some of the first known mosaic designs.
