Pet Mosaic

Supplies:

pencil

black Sharpie

construction paper to match pet's colors

scissors

glue stick

large piece of white paper (I used 11 x15 watercolor paper.)

Optional:

damp cloth and a dry cloth for cleaning glue off your fingers

This is Lulu, the subject for my mosaic.

Drawing lightly with the pencil, make a simple outline of your pet. It doesn't have to be perfect.

With the black Sharpie, trace over your pencil drawing. Then you can erase your pencil lines.

Cut construction paper into different sized triangles.

Start with your pet's body and glue triangles along the borders. Overlap your pieces.

Fill in the rest of the body with triangles.

Lulu asks, "Are you done with my mosaic yet?"

Now glue in triangles for your pet's ears.

Fill in your pet's face with triangles. Also fill in her identification tag. I made one rectangular piece for her name.

Fill nose with triangles. I cut circles for the inside of the eyes. Lulu also has two little freckles.

Since Lulu is white and the paper is white, I added a background color.

See what your pet thinks of your mosaic masterpiece. Lulu loves it!
