Kid Friendly Friday - Bean Mosaic



Welcome to Kid Friendly Friday where were share anything that other parents might find interesting. Use a post that you did today or one from last year. Whatever. I look forward to seeing what you are up to!


We attended a local art festival last weekend where the kids made these bean mosaics. What a great idea. A handful of all different kinds of beans and you are set. Let older kids make their own patterns. Make a pattern that younger kids could fill in (of course, they could make their own as well). Be sure to use a paper plate or other sturdy backing. Let them sort the leftover beans - extra educational :)

So what did you do this week? Post your link in Mr. Linky below. Enjoy your weekend!

  2. We've done this before without a pattern and with a yogurt top. I'll have to try it with an easy pattern so my 3-year-old will enjoy it more.
