Cardboard Scraps MOSAICS

Here is a nice way to re-use brightly-coloured thin cardboard from common household packaging! Included are:

• Detailed instructions with visuals

• Tips

• Four small and four large ‘autumn leaves’ templates

• Four small and four large ‘hearts’ templates

• Four small and four large ‘snowflakes’ templates

• samples of completed mosaics

Make your empty Kleenex boxes into a pretty craft!

Larger cardboard mosaics can be completed by younger children, and smaller ones by older children, teens or adults. Use your completed mosaic to decorate the cover of a notebook, make a card, as a wall hanging, or give it as a gift!

Cardboard Mosaics and other similar crafts (such as cut and paste puzzles) are excellent tools for developing fine motor skills. This in turn can improve a student’s ability to play a musical instrument, write neatly, give attention to detail, show patience, and concentrate for longer periods of time. Go slowly and be generous with your praise – fine work takes practise and perseverance!
