Mosaics

I'm taking a minute while the children play a rowdy game of Snow Man, Snow Man, Reindeer (duck, duck, goose) in the other room. Hopefully we won't end up in the ER. Wanted to post about our mosaic project today. We took a cue from the Story of the World activity book and decided to do plaster of paris mosaics today, since we finished listening to the Byzantine section and it highlighted the amazing mosaic architecture. We decided to make ours into stepping stones. The kids had a blast. Zhara went for decorative. Winnie and Angus went for quantity of materials used. I think they all look great, though I think across the board there is too much stuff in them to actually walk on them, even in the house, but whatever. They can use them as door stops in their room.
