Seeing Vai and his crushed eggshells reminded me a friend who passed to me her box of eggshells - cleaned and washed! - before she moved to Sydney with her family (Thanks Henny!)

[Btw she's also into using 'junk' to create and make fun stuff for and with her kids!]

And so anyway, today Anya and I - with a little bit of help from Vai at one point - made a Flower Mosaic!

What we used:

>> cleaned eggshells
>> watercolour, brush
>> glue, crayons
>> paper for the base

It’s quite simple to make, really. And it’s fun and engaging for the kid too.

How to create the eggshell mosaic:

>> Colour the eggshells (since we’re making a flower, we chose red and green)

>> Wait for them to dry and ‘break’ them up into smaller pieces (Vai helped in ‘crushing’ the shells)

>> Draw whatever shape you want on a piece of paper

>> Paste some glue on it

>> Spread the coloured crushed eggshells on the drawing

>> Set the mosaic aside and wait for it to dry

And that’s it!

You just got yourself a colourful mosaic!

Have fun eggs-perimenting!
