If you’ve been to the Minnesota State Fair, chances are you’ve been exposed to a design phenomenon known as “crop art” or “seed art”. For the uninitiated, this is an art form consisting of seeds pasted on a board to make a picture. From the sacred to the political (and sometimes a little of both), there are few subject matters that haven’t been sown and subsequently shown in the halls of the Agriculture Horticulture Building. Anyone with the childhood memory of running out of Lite Bright…

A wonderful mosaic doesn't always need tiles––other objects can be used to achieve an amazing finish, including lentils and dried beans. The finished mosaic will be tactile, interesting and most of all, affordable. Dazzle your friends with...

I saw this idea for making mosaics out of dried beans in Family Fun Magazine last fall. I thought it looked like something my kids would enjoy. In the magazine they use specialty paper that is all sticky. We opted for cereal box cardboard and glue instead.

I had dried kidney beans and lentils left over from another project and the popcorn - well, that was taken out of our regularly used supply…

Dried seeds are a great way to learn maths, science and even art! We did this giraffe portrait with dried beans, cardboard, glue, watercolour and eye stickers. Instead of beans you can use any other dried seeds (corn, peas, lentils) or nutshells. #mosaic #kidsactivities #driedbeans #diymom #ecocrafts #ecokids #animalportrait #quarantinecraft #quarantineactivities
