National Geographic Mosaic Kit – Create 3 Glass Tile Art Projects with Templates, Plaster & Hanging Cords for Ages 8+

The National Geographic Mosaic Kit by Blue Marble lets kids craft three distinct glass tile mosaics using slow-dry plaster, reusable molds, and colorful tiles. Designed for children aged 8 and up, this hands-on craft set includes templates for inspiration, a wooden stir stick, hanging cords, and a full-color Learning Guide. It's a complete art activity that combines creativity with a dash of history.

What’s Inside the Kit

• 3 bags of slow-dry plaster
• 3 reusable waterproof molds
• Assorted glass tiles
• Wooden stir stick
• Hanging cord for display
• Full-color Learning Guide and kid-friendly instructions

How to Make Your Mosaics

Start by designing your pattern on the template or create your own. Mix the slow-dry plaster, pour it into the mold, then press the glass tiles into the plaster. The slow-dry formula gives you time to adjust tile placement. Once the plaster sets, you can display the mosaic as a wall hanging using the included cord or leave it as a standalone piece.

Learning About Mosaic Art

The included Learning Guide covers the history of mosaics and techniques used by different cultures around the world. Kids can discover how this ancient art form evolved while making their own modern masterpieces. This educational component adds value beyond the craft itself.

Displaying Your Creations

Each finished mosaic can be hung on a wall using the provided cord, making them ready to gift or decorate a bedroom. The waterproof molds are reusable, so kids can experiment with additional designs using their own plaster and tiles (not included).

A Note on Age and Safety

This kit is recommended for ages 8 and up due to small parts (glass tiles) and plaster mixing. Adult supervision is advised. The product is not suitable for children under 8 years.
