Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Start by gathering your supplies. We used dried black beans, and Green and Yellow Split peas. I put each on a paper plate for easy use. Then we used construction paper as the base but a coloring page or design would work great. Also you will need glue.
Step 2
We started by drawing the design on the paper, both kids wanted their initial so we kept it simple and I drew the letter outline on the paper. Then they added the glue to the paper.
Step 3
They used a small foam paint brush to help spread the glue. (totally optional but they liked it and it was a little less messy)
Step 4
Then they stuck the dried beans and peas down, in the pattern or design they wanted. It was a good way to teach them to stay in the lines.
Done!
Then we let them dry and the kids both had some new mosaic art.
