Today we are going to make a heart mosaic out of paper. This heart can be hung on your wall, given to a friend or family member, or hung in your window to show the world.
For this activity you will need the following items:
- Various colors of construction paper or cardstock
- Canvas or Poster Board
- Glue (stick or bottle)
- Scissors
Now here’s what you do:
- Cut the colored paper into small squares. It doesn’t have to be exact, but we suggest 1 inch by 1 inch.
- Pick one color to be the heart and make a heart shape with the squares on your canvas or poster. Glue them down.
- Now let’s get creative! Use the other colors to fill in the area inside and outside of the heart.
- Will you use patterns? Will you use colors in the same family? Warm colors are yellow, red, pink, orange, etc… Cool colors are blue, green, purple, etc…
As always, show us what you made! We can’t wait to see your art!
