Today's Art Project: Mosaic Cheetah

To pass the time during Michael's nap today, Katie and Traci tried their hand at a different art form: mosaic. Katie picked out the cheetah from one of her nature books, Traci drew the outline and tore the construction paper, and Katie then went to town with the paper and glue stick. Traci didn't know if Katie would have the patience to finish the project, but Katie was amazingly meticulous and thorough. She wanted the cheetah to look realistic (no pink or purple on this mosaic!), and she wanted to find just the right piece for each angle. We think the finished project turned out pretty darn cool. This was worth skipping Traci's little mid-day nap!
