little picasso: Starburst Candy Mosaic

Thursday, October 10, 2013 21 Comments

 

Starburst Candy Mosaic | Mama Miss #starburst #mosaic #freeprintable #kidart

 

So, today is day two (for me) and day four as part of the 5-day series: Candy Activities for Kids.  We are participating in this series along with several other mama bloggers & kiddos across the country & world!  Yesterday we counted with jellybeans, and today we are creating a mosaic with Starburst candy!

And here’s today’s line-up…make sure you check out all the other Candy Art activities for today!

Thursday – Art





Erupting Art

Starburst Sculptures

Candy Pumpkins

Starburst Candy Mosaic

Candy Jewelry

Candy Headbands

♥

Oh the patience it took for V & T to unwrap all the candies…one by one…asking me every.five.seconds. if they could have one.  Such a mean mommy I am ;)  I did give in eventually and let them try one of each color – because how can you play with candy and not sample it too?!

I created another fun printable (ha-ha from scratch cause I am cuckoo ;) for this activity too (see “print here” icon below)!  It was a tedious process in Photoshop – I lined up each one of those little squares to make that beautiful flower out of squares for this mosaic :)  Oh the things we do for our kids!  V LOVES, I mean L.O.V.E.S. this mosaic kit, so that’s where I created the idea in my head when I was brainstorming for this series in the candy isle at Target.  And the Starburst’s just jumped right up at me and into my cart!

The candy is unwrapped – so let’s create!

I designed the printable (see “print here” icon below), to use with any kinds/flavors of Starburst candies.  You can also have your child color in the blocks with dry erase crayons, creating their own beautiful colored patterns.  And, the mosaic squares are also the same size as snap cubes too – so many possibilities – just laminate it & let your child create!

When your friend loves science just as much as you When your friend loves science just as much as you do. 
🔬🧫👩🏼‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬
These two... I couldn’t get them to walk away from our science table.

🐚🌊☀️When we went to the beach last week, V found this spiral thingee (official term 😆) way far back on the sand, near the dunes... it had obviously washed up a long time ago.  She brought it to us & my mom (PHD science professor-lol good to have one of those in your back pocket, huh?!) identified it as a Whelk Egg Casing. 

🔍🧐 🐚After Googling, based on the details of the casing, we determined it is an egg casing from a Knobbed Welk. 

🐚🔍🕵🏼‍♀️Whelk eggs are fertilized internally and laid in capsule packets. Strings of these connected egg capsules are usually one to three feet in length, comprised of up to 160 capsules, and each casing containing 40-100 eggs. These eggs are SUPER TINY - ALREADY FORMED - LITTLE BABY SHELLS (swipe to the last shot)!!! The mother whelk anchors one end of the string onto rocks, shells, or sand on the sea floor for safety. Apparently, only about one percent will hatch successfully. If they emerge successfully from the egg case, they can expect to live for about 10 to 15 years if they reach maturity.

Pretty cool huh?! #youlearnsomethingneweveryday

https://www.mamamiss.com/blog/2021/04/01/adjusting-focus/

“When we focus on our gratitude, the tide of disappointment goes out and the tide of love rushes in.” - Kristin Armstrong

Print it out and hang it in your workspace, or the hallway, or the bedroom mirror as inspiration…. to reframe the ol’ noggin and focus on the gratitude and the things that are most important to us.

oh & p.s. 🤫🤗🤩🥳

I will be sharing an exciting announcement next week! Be sure to stay tuned and keep an eye out, I can’t wait to share this news with you!!!!!!!

Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝 We’ve had this Loose Parts Tray 🔩⚙️🗝

We’ve had this loose parts tray since my kids were wee little ones and it is still utilized to this day.  I just happened to catch a kiddo mid-way through mandala making today. 

🌀💠🔆You can theme it out however you want - nature parts, color parts... think beads, buttons, bits & bobs... take a stroll down the small parts aisle at the craft store or your local hardware store to find some inspiration. 

🖇📏🧮 I love how loose part trays allow open-ended creative play.  Kiddos can explore the different textures and shape concepts in the tray to create structures, free play, or even work on math!

💡What would you use your loose parts tray for?
