5-Cover your whole balloon until you no longer see your balloon.
6- Let dry
7- Glue (hot glue works best) toilet paper rolls around your papier-mâché balloon (these will be the red spike proteins that stick out of the coronavirus!)
8- Paint your papier-mâché coronavirus !
9- Take a pin/needle & poke through the papier-mâché to POP your balloon
10- Grownups, Cut a small hole in your papier-mâché to fill your coronavirus with some treats! Then re-cover your hole with tape + paint

Mosaic Art can be found almost anywhere! In museums, murals on buildings and even in your home!!
Our Art Adventurers made their own with REAL mosaic tiles provided in our delivered art kits! A relaxing art activity that teaches us about patterns + repetition.
Don’t have any mosaic tiles? Make or FIND your own!+ recycled objects found at home (any plastic object- like bottle caps or utensils; cardboard pieces)
+any color/ patterned papers (magazines are great! think visual textures!)
+ scissors
+ gluestick
1-CHOOSE different color paper or pages from a magazine OR found objects
2-Use your scissors to CUT small “tiles” out of your paper (keep working on our cutting + dexterity skills)
3-ARRANGE your “tiles” next to each other on a new piece of paper or cardboard panel- like a puzzle!
4-GLUE each “tile” one by one in place
