Toddler Paper Mosaic Art

A few weeks back when my oldest was spending the week at grandma's I decided to do a fun art project with my 2 yr old.  I wanted to do something totally geared toward her age and ability.  So I thought a paper mosaic would be perfect.

I also wanted to work on some colors with her, and since this has three different colors we were able to do that.  All you really need for this project is a blank paper you draw a picture on or a coloring page.  Then just tare up pieces of construction paper and glue the paper onto the page.

What we did so that we could work on learning colors is I put the glue on a part of the flower, like the stem and leafs.  Then I told her to just put the green paper on those parts.  I had her repeat the color for me a few times and then I let her place the green paper on the glue.

She was so proud of her finished flower that she had to give it to her sister when we picked her up from grandma's!
