Once again, I am trying to get the kids on a creative exploration. I saw this idea on the crafty crow. A little contact paper along with some geometric shapes makes for a lovely wall mosaic. I was trying to get an idea where all three of the kids would enjoy playing with the same materials. It also helps that there is little clean up and no messes.
Jillian's work is on the far right, Sebastian's is in the middle, and Braedon's is on the left.
Jillian just placed pieces randomly but then began to set them on their edge for a 3D effect. Sebastian made Wheeljack, one of his favorite transformer characters. Braedon's was more elaborate and came with a story as well.
Braedon's piece is a bad man who has stolen all of the jewels and the police could not catch him because their guns were ineffective. That or he said the man was infected...I'm not sure. Then he said he robbed people's houses and stole all of their animals because he loved them. Then the man was never seen again because he burned up in the sun.
This project lasted a good 10-20 minutes which is a record thus far. I'm not sure how long it will remain on the wall, but I would like to try other materials.
At least I got their creative energy flowing.
