Make Enjoyable and Simple “Leaf Confetti” Artwork Mosaics!

Do your children love gap punching like mine do? There’s one thing soothing and satisfying about gap punching – to not point out it’s nice for creating motor abilities and strengthening little fingers.

With some paper and a gap puncher, let’s go collect some freshly fallen leaves and make some stunning autumn “leafetti” (leaf confetti) mosaics. Right here’s how:

First, collect a bunch of various leaves – the extra shade and selection the higher! Be sure that they’re contemporary and never dry and crunchy.

Subsequent, seize a gap puncher and get busy. Punch, punch, punch. Empty out the opening puncher intermittently right into a small bowl or plate. Now you could have “leafetti!”

With a pencil and paper, draw the define of the mosaic form you wish to make. We used black paper, as a result of I believed the leaf colours would present up properly (and so they did!). Be happy to make use of white or one other shade if that’s what you could have.

You may additionally wish to do a Google search to search for well-known mosaic artworks all through historical past, for some inspiration. We merely made autumn-inspired mosaics this time.

Subsequent, fill your form with glue (we used a glue stick to maintain the mess down), a piece at a time. In case you attempt to fill the entire paper with glue, it would in all probability dry up earlier than you get an opportunity to stay the confetti on it.

Lastly sprinkle the leaf confetti on high of the glue. Preserve doing this till you fill your mosaic, and revel in!
