PAPER MOSAIC PICTURES
Our next rotation will be Daniel in the Lion's Den, and I think we will be doing the mosaic pictures from the story as our art project.
I am wondering if someone can provide me a source to purchase the small construction paper tiles that are needed for this project. Or (and I hope not, or maybe I'll change the project!), do all of you cut out your own tiles? If so, how many tiles are needed per child?

Cutting your own paper squares for mosaics
Karen: Don't scrap your art project! Paper mosaics of Daniel and the Lion's Den was one of the best art projects we've done. -- CreativeCarol -posted April 21, 2003

CLAY BRANDS & RECIPES
Question:
What clay brands and/or recipes have you used succesfully? We'll want to roll it out, cut out a shape, then let it air dry. Similar to "cut out cookies" but thicker and eventually hardened to hang up. -- Jan FPC Napa posted December 10, 2003

Kool Aid Playdough
2 ½ cups flour
1 ½ cups salt
2-3 packages unsweetened Kool-Aid**
1 Tablespoon oil
2 cups boiling water
Mix together flour, salt, and Kool-Aid
Add oil and water
Stir quickly
Cool slightly
Work dough with hands
Store in plastic zip bags
Good smelling, but not good tasting!
I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but it is really neat because it smells great! (Just make sure kids don't eat it.) It is better "baked" at a really low oven temperature until it is dry rather than air drying. How long depends on thickness, stickiness, etc.
** to make a terracotta color, we recommend two orange and a grape!
PICTURES DRAWN BY KIDS THEN PROFESSIONAL TRANSFERED TO: tiles/calendars/mouse pads, mugs, etc.
Here is an idea that my son did last year in preschool in conjunction with a "Square One Art" fund raiser. You may be able to adapt it. Each child drew a picture of him/herself which was transferred onto tiles (through Square One Art). The tiles were then used on one of the walls in the school. -- kancona posted September 08, 2004

SOURCES FOR ACRYLIC & STYRENE CLEAR PLASTIC
moved from Help section
QUESTION
In our second rotation this Daniel & the lion's den, our kids are making "Stained glass" Suncatchers. I need to purchase acrylic squares 6"x6" or so for them to paint on. These are going to be paintings. I want the pieces of clear acrylic to be the thickness of glass so they will be durable. I saw some similar with a chalice painted on them at the National Convention in March. -- Trish posted August 21, 2001
