Let’s make a mud mosaic!
View image slideshow
Wet and sloppy, cold and muddy. Dry, hard and crumbly mud. Soft, sandy mud. Oooey gooey mud!
What to do:
-
Step 1: Explore your area to look for natural materials like sticks, rocks, flowers, leaves, bark, flower caps and nuts.
-
Step 2: Find some dirt and add some water. Use a bucket for mixing if needed.
-
Step 3: Mix it together until it turns into mud.
-
Step 4: Plop your mud mixture onto a flat surface.
-
Step 5: Flatten it out and start adding the natural materials you’ve collected.
Check out the slideshow for some amazing examples of mud mosaics!
Tips:
- Use sticks to make a frame or rocks as a border.
- Create a pattern or a picture and get muddy!
- Take a photo ‘before it dries’ and ‘after it dries’. Notice what happens to mud when it dries.
