These can turn out so pretty, you may hope they don’t wash away! Celebratory Messages Make outlines of subway tiles, bricks, or intricate mosaic patterns and pick a color scheme to fill them in. Kids can create a new game every day, and then sit back and watch to see if the neighbors follow directions!
