Emily's Pebble Mosaic
This month's Open Ended Art theme is Mosaics. I am looking forward to seeing Emily use all the different materials to create her Mosaics.
This weeks material is pebbles. I found a bag of colored pebbles at A.C. Moore and thought it would be perfect for Emily to create some kind of design with. When I decided I really wanted her to do the mosaic with Plaster of Paris I packed up both girls and headed to Michaels. While we were there I found a trinket box with a lip around the top...it was perfect for this project!
To start we sorted the colors, since Emily enjoys it and it is also great practice!
I filled the top of the lid with plaster of paris and Emily added the colored pebbles to it.
I loved this picture of Emily working and Juliette watching in the swing!
She found every last spot to fill up all by herself!I really thought she would be asking me to finish it...what a nice surprise!!!!
Here is her finished Mosaic...not bad for a 2 1/2 year old!!

My goodness, it is really beautiful!
OMG, this turned out so nice! I really need to try this plaster of Paris one of those days. And Emily can clearly stay on the task - I always like her serious expression in your photos when she works on her projects.
What a great idea! It looks like she had fun!
Looks great! What a fun project!
That is so beautiful, and I am so impressed by her patience in finishing the whole thing! It looks like she had so much fun.
That is beautiful! I wish I had thought to do something like that. I love it.
That is AWESOME!
This is gorgeous! What a great idea too, to have her sort them by color before beginning. I really love what you did with this!
I love your project:) I have a 24 month old and 1 month old and was not brave enough to pack both kids into the car to go hunting for art supplies; hence the marbles in playdough mosaic my 2 year old did. Your LO seems like she really liked doing this. Such concentration:)
I'll say. :) I love the coloured stones they look great against the white plaster.
Oooo, I really like this!
This turned out so beautiful.
