Open Ended Art: Play Dough/Clay Mosaic



This weeks theme for Open Ended Art hosted by Growing And Learning by Leaps and Bounds is Play dough/Clay Mosaic. And what a fun theme it was!

Andy made some salt dough...


Which we cut into squares...


And he pasted it onto a little flower pot...


We left it in the sun to dry and then he fetched it in to paint it (with these cute paints we had left over from another project)...


He also experimented by painting with the back of the brush...


"Spring has sprung and the grass has riz, I wonder where all 'em flowers is!" - as my Mom would say. Andy cut some 'flowers' for his pot. So far we've mostly been cutting lavender and herbs for our School area, waiting for the spring flowers to appear...


Andy doing some 'flower/foliage' arrangement...



And the finished project...

To see other fun Play Dough / Clay Mosaic projects pop over.
