5. Paper Mosaics

Mosaic art made from paper scraps teaches patience and design thinking.

How to Make:

  • Cut small pieces of colored paper into squares or triangles.
  • Draw a simple outline on a base sheet (like a heart, sun, or tree).
  • Glue the paper pieces inside the outline to form a mosaic.

Design Tips:

  • Try using torn paper for a textured look.
  • Use different shades of the same color for depth.

Why It’s Great: Paper mosaics develop precision, pattern recognition, and creativity.
