Edible Mosaics

You'll want to do this project early in the day so the kids have a lot of time to run off the sugar!

What you will need:
an edible base: sugar cookies or gram crackers
frosting
colored candies like M&Ms or skittles
plates
knives
eager kids with a great imagination
photo examples if desired






What you do:

• Discuss what a mosaic is, where you have seen them and possible images they can create.
• Have everyone wash their hands!!
• Pass out paper plates and edible base (we used gram crackers)
• Spread a thick coat of frosting on the base
• Create patterns or images with the candies
• Take pictures of the process
• Eat and enjoy!

What a fun project this was. The kids learned more about mosaics and being more creative with their food. This project could easily be made with fruit and cream cheese to cut down on the sugar intake. Another possibility is getting creative with veggies and dip! Happy creating.
