The Little Green Activity Egg Shell Mosaic

 

 

  You will need

Crushed egg  shells

Food colouring or Glob paints

This Little Green Activity was taken on by my 13 year old daughter; she uses art as a form of relaxation and took a few evenings designing and creating her piece. 

This can, of course, be made more simple for younger children by keeping the crushed egg pieces a little larger and  choosing a simplified design.

1. Take some clean egg shells

 

 2. Crush and submerge them in food colouring; I leave them over night

 

 


 

 

 

3. Rinse and leave to dry

 

4. Use glue to place the coloured egg shells into your favoured design

 

 

 

 

 

 

 5.Voila!

 

Happy creating! Laura x

 
Supporting the Gorgeous Hubby My husband, Peter, is a wonderful source of love and support; without him I would not have been able to set up my business, as well as run a large family and teach four days a week.

He is a talented NLP practioner and has recently recorded a relaxation/meditation CD. With this in mind, I have added an Janus NLP page in my shop - do take a look if you need to chill out, unwind and relax. Seriously - I have never heard the end of the CD as I always fall asleep!
