Parents in the Sandy area know how important it is for kids to express themselves artistically. This can be a great boon for a child’s cognitive development as well as their emotional health.
But sometimes the crayons and paper can get a little boring for kids. Luckily, there are lots of easy ways to encourage Draper and West Jordan children to create pictures and designs with unique materials and methods.
One of these methods is mosaics. Instead of drawing on paper, cut pieces of colored paper into small pieces. Then, allow your kids to organize the small pieces into a picture or design. Once they’ve completed their picture, give them some glue and have them adhere the mosaic to another complete piece of paper.
And you don’t have to stop at paper. There are plenty of materials that can be made into a mosaic.
A favorite material is dried beans. They are inexpensive, come in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes, and can be found in any Salt Lake City, Sandy, or Draper grocery store. However, remember that dried beans can be a choking hazard, so only use these and other small objects with older children.
