How to Make a Tree Mosaic

A tree mosaic is a great project to do with your students in the fall. We did this project while our school was planting 18 trees on campus. Here is how it's done.

Things You'll Need

• Construction paper
• White crayon
• Glue

Instructions

1. 

   Draw the outline of the picture on the paper (if the kids are small) with a white crayon.

2. 

   Use any school white glue--do not use glue sticks; they will not hold the construction paper.

3. 

   Place the glue on the paper for the kids and do not do the whole paper, just small portions at a time.

4. 

   Have the kids work in groups of five or six at a table.

5. 

   Give the kids a handful of construction paper squares and they will create beautiful pictures.
