One way to turn a bunch of legumes into more than a hill of beans is to arrange them into a colorful mosaic.
Materials
• Corrugated cardboard
• Pencil
• White glue
• Paintbrush
• Assortment of dried beans and peas
• Tweezers (optional)
Step 1:
To begin, sketch a design on the cardboard—a simple stick figure, a geometric shape or a more detailed scene. Use the paintbrush to cover a small portion of the design with a thick coat of white glue.
Step 2:
Now arrange beans on top of the glued area, following the drawn figures and shapes. (A pair of tweezers comes in handy for positioning smaller legumes.)
Step 3:
Continue in this manner until the entire design is filled in. Then, allow the glue to dry completely before setting the mosaic upright.
