How many times have you been in the middle of a major
deadline with a business project or assignment, when,
all of a sudden, your home office door opens, and it's
your child saying "Mommy/Daddy, I'm bored......" ?
You usually just groan and say "Honey, go play with your
toys or watch tv...."
Well, sometimes that works and sometimes, you have to
stop what you're doing and think of an activity to keep
your child busy and out of your hair for awhile.
Children--especially young children--get bored easily.
They need a constant string of activities to keep
themselves occupied.
One of the more popular activities for children is
making art projects. They absolutely love art!
So I'm going to do something special for you and
your business. I'm going to share one of my more
popular art projects with you. It will give your
children a fun activity to do, keeping them occupied
for a couple of hours--giving you a chance to finish
that business report or project that's due today.
Enjoy!

"PAPER MOSAIC ANIMALS"
Grade Level:
1st or 2nd Gr.
Materials:
colored construction papers-3 x 6" in size, in various
colors, 12 x 18" black construction paper, glue,
scissors, pencils, erasers, zeroxed sheets of animals,
scraps for practice drawings
Procedure:
1)Use one 12 x 18" black sheet to draw one large animal
(rabbits, elephants, turtles, pigs, etc.) that nearly
fills the paper.
2)Choose several 3 x 6" colors for your animal's body
parts.
3)Take one 3 x 6" color and cut it into 1/2" wide
strips.
4)Next, cut a 1/2" strip into smaller squares,
approximately 1/2" in size. Now you have a small pile
of tiny squares that are about 1/2" x 1/2".
5)Use these small squares to fill in a part of the
animal's body. (Spread a small amount of glue where you
want the squares to go. Place the squares carefully on
the glue, close together.)
6)When one part of the body is filled, choose another
part of the body to fill. (If you have squares left,
use those squares to fill another part of the body that
you want to be that same color.)
7)When you're ready, choose another 3 x 6" color and
cut it into the 1/2" x 1/2" squares. Use these to fill
the next part of the body that you chose.
8)Repeat this process until all parts of the animal's
body are filled.
9)Put away to dry.
