National Geographic Glass Tile Mosaic Arts and Crafts Kit for Kids

Such a fun present for children. Even got an extra one for a white elephant gift fo adults. Might wanna keep it myself. Everything is included and easy to follow instructions. Great price for something good quality and fun.

Super fun activity for rainy days when grandsons cannot play outside and, the finished product decorates our potted plants so, it’s a win- win!

This mosaic kit is both fun and educational — perfect for a creative afternoon with kids! The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the final pieces look great on display. I love that it combines art with a bit of learning, and the quality of the materials exceeded expectations. A great STEAM activity for all ages!

My son and I really enjoyed making these tile mosaics! We ended up with pieces of art that we love. The set comes with supplies for three mosaics. There were plenty of tiles and plenty of the mixture to make the plaster. The tiles were a nice mix of shapes and colors. I’m giving it four stars because it was a lot of waiting and it was messy. I liked that my son could help me mix the plaster, but didn’t like that we had to put garbage bags down on the floor to contain the inevitable drips as we prepared the mixture (don’t mix plaster in your sink!) and drips as we worked on our art. You pour the plaster mix into these small, round paper dishes. They’re pretty shallow. The idea is that when they are fully set, you peel off the paper. But the paper didn’t come off easy - pieces of paper stuck to the plaster in some areas and I really had to work at it to get most of it off. My son didn’t seem to care that it wasn’t perfect. It takes hours - ideally overnight - for the plaster to dry. It was not easy to wait for our art to be ready. I think the plaster mix was a little runny despite our following the directions. Overall it was a fun experience but not the quality I would hope for from Nat Geo.

We used this as a birthday party activity for our 7yo and it was great! Kids could also take back the moulds home safely as a return gift from the birthday. The clay mixing needed help from adults but even if the ratio got messed it was an easy fix.

This kit is the most affordable option that is all inclusive. I got it to go with a study of Rome with my kids. They enjoyed it. It is very basic. It needs a lot more mosaic stones to really make three nice mosaics and I wish I had ordered some from some other seller. The instructions don’t give enough dry time. Also, if you get the mosaic wet at all after it’s done, it will go back to its wet clay form, so it needs to be sealed somehow and the kit provides no supplies or instructions for that. I recommend clear craft glue.

My grandkids loved this. Everything one needs to complete the craft included. Price is right, too.

My granddaughter loved making these. Did take 2 days to fully cure. She was 7 at the time and loved the craft. Easy to clean-up and just enough material.
