Kid Project of the Day:
My younger daughter received a kit for her birthday: The Orb Factory "Sticky Mosaics Princess," basically a "mosaic by number" kit consisting of five different princesses covered in numbers. The girls attached the appropriate color sticky mosaic to each number and created the princess. I thought it was a pretty cool birthday gift. After completing the first hard copy princess, my girls logged on to the Orb Factory web site. Their online Fun Zone features several online mosaics in different patterns. Good free fun!
