Cross Mosaic
When I was young, I made a cross mosaic of different seeds/beans (there are actually many different colored seeds/beans). We glued them onto a burlap rectangle background and frayed the edges on the bottom and two sides. The top was folded over and glued to make a slot for a skinny dowel. A fair length of yarn was then tied to either end of the dowel to make a hanging device. My mother still had this decorative piece hanging in a foyer until a few years ago and I am now 32!

Making Erasers
We will be making erasers to show that Christ died to erase our sins and that God then sees us as clean (page).. I purchased "Sculpey" Eraser clay from an art supply store @$7.99 - will make at least 12 erasers - my own kids and friends enjoyed making them - although not the best erasers

Erasers
I love your idea about making erasers. It is a great idea. Here are a few more web sites that have kits for making erasers. There is also a site that gives a homemade recipe and then some information about erasers.

Some results of a little web surfing:

"Sculpey's Amazing Eraser Clay"

"Pliatex Mold Rubber"

The Crazy Clay Eraser sets mentioned in a couple of the websites is similar to the Amazing Eraser Clay.

It would appear that the Pliatex method would fit a science workshop, but it is not colored and not very moldable. The Amazing Eraser Clay and Crazy Clay is colored and moldable, but must be baked (and cooled).
