So based on our experience I’d recommend this craft for kids aged eight and up. Adults will love it too – you are never too old for mosaics. For younger kids you could always try foam mosaics or pattern blocks. My eight year old ended up completing two mosaics whilst my six year old designed one but then lost concentration when it came to gluing all the tiles down on to the base board (which I ended up helping with), but that is totally understandable for a child this age.

Mosaics are a traditional craft which you can’t just pull off in a half hour, they take time, patience and planning to create which was a good test for my girls who are aged eight and six. When they saw that the tiles came in mini glitter colours they had their minds well and truly made up, mosaics it was! The girls love small things that sparkle and they were particularly excited to try their hand at this craft. It happened that we had just been to see a gallery display by a local mosaic artist and had been inspired by some of her wonderful designs, so in the end we decided to go with mosaic supplies. This is a very exciting thing for a craft blogger, but also very difficult because my head was spinning with all the different possibilities of things we could make. Recently we were asked to select any item we liked – that’s right, anything we liked – from a bulging fat catalogue of art and craft supplies belonging to Clever Patch. This is a craft my kids really wanted to try, and I have to admit mosaic art is something I’ve also always wanted to try myself!
