Snow Mosaic

Create a snowy self-portrait that doubles as a tasty treat for animals who might stop by to admire and sample your work. (Even though it might be a while before we see snow, save this activity for a snow day coming soon!)

Materials

Birdseed (such as sunflower seeds and cracked corn)

Fruits and vegetables (like apples, kale and carrots)

Food coloring

Pump bottles

   Instructions

  1. Start by prepping your art materials; fill the pump bottles with different hues of food-color-tinted water and cut up various fruits and vegetables. Then take the materials outside.

2. Next, start your masterpiece by lying back in the snow to make a body print. Gently rock your body to pack the print, then carefully get up (you may need a friend’s help).

3. Create a portrait by filling in the shape with the seeds and vegetable pieces and adding details with the colored water.
