Mosaic tiles

I do a fortnightly workshop at a local nursery. We've done some great activities but I don't take photographs of the children working for privacy reasons. However at the end of today's workshop I took the work outside and took some photos on my phone.
We made mosaic tiles today. This is a simple art activity which also helps to develop dexterity and maths skills. The children are 3-4 years old, and they needed a lot of concentration to line up the squares and leave a small gap in between each one. Some even managed to create a colour repeat pattern.

I've got some squares left over, so I'll let my two have a go after school!
