Mr10 is a history nut
and simply does not want to move
through these ancient periods too quickly,
so we visited Ancient Rome today and had a try of mosaics.
We used coloured paper cut into small squares
and impasto gel with some paint added for grout.
It was a lot more involved than the boys thought it would be,
and took a good while to get through
but they were very proud of the finished result
and they look great.
I do my own works beside them
so I am not tempted to 'help' them too much,
it also smooths out any ruffles that might happen
and inspires them to stay focused and work well.
And I don't want to miss out on all the fun.

Wonderful way to teach with you working side by side. Also: your walking frog on the sidebar is fantastic & cool!
Cheers,

They look great! Everytime I read your blog I wish my boy had the patience to sit and do stuff like that!!
Thanks JoMo, and thanks for dropping in.
Kez- give him time he is still so little, do lots of things with him and accept all those ufos that will accumulate- we have mountains of ufos, (unfinished objects)I only share the finished ones.
Blessings
