The word “Mosaic” carries a touch of artistic romance from ancient Greece. Translated from the Greek “Mosaic”, it originally refers to exquisite decorations made by inlaying and piecing together small materials—whether it’s a colorful pattern on a wall or a vivid design on a floor, all are gentle expressions of this art form. This weekend, my child and I unlocked a new way to enjoy it: making a mosaic inlaid decorative clock with our own hands. In the process of pasting pieces with our fingertips, we not only indulged my love for handmade crafts but also quietly ignited my child’s creative interest, filling the air with a light and joyful mood.
When I first started drawing the draft, my child crowded over, chattering excitedly: “Mom, I want to stick blue mosaics into stars!” I smiled and pushed the colorful rainbow mosaic pieces in front of her, teaching her to gently apply glue to the back of the mosaics. She held the tiny mosaic pieces in her small hands, carefully aligning them with the outline on the draft and even slowing down her breathing, afraid that the newly pasted pieces would shift. After all the colors were in place and the glue slowly dried, my child hopped around the semi – finished product: “It’s like putting together a rainbow!”
The next step of mixing the grout was even more fun. Watching the white powder gradually turn into a toothpaste – like consistency after adding water, my child curiously reached out to help stir. I held her small hand and stirred slowly together, and her eyes sparkled with surprise. We evenly spread the grout into the gaps between the mosaics, and after waiting for 5 – 10 minutes, we wiped off the excess grout with a sponge together. The way my child carefully wiped it was like taking care of a precious treasure.
When the grout was completely dry and the hands of the clock we made together started to turn for the first time, my child held the clock and ran to the balcony. The sun shone on the colorful mosaics, refracting tiny spots of light. She looked up and said: “From now on, every time I check the time, I’ll remember the happiness of sticking mosaics with you!” It turns out that the love for handmade crafts is never exclusive to adults. Piecing together small mosaic fragments into a complete work of beauty with children not only helps nurture their creative interest but also soothes the little irritations of life in the focused interaction, leaving behind warm and pleasant memories.
