5. Mosaic of Motivation

Display inspiring messages of hope and mindfulness with DIY mosaic tiles. 

Color in designs with motivational quotes and positive affirmations.

Cut the colored pages into small shapes. Arrange these cutouts on a tabletop or large piece of cardboard in a pattern or picture that speaks to you. 

Once satisfied with the design, glue each piece down with Modge Podge and let it dry. Then, apply another layer of glue over the top to protect your artwork. 

This mosaic can serve as a centerpiece in classrooms, offering a consistent source of inspiration. 

6. Balloons of Belief

Craft 3D hopeful hot air balloons to lift spirits and decorate spaces with soaring dreams. 

Select a variety of designs from our motivational coloring pages and fill them with cheerful shades. 

Tear the designs into large strips so that the main elements are still visible. 

Mix paper mache paste using one part flour to two parts water, stirring until you get a smooth, glue-like consistency. 

Blow up a balloon and cover it in 4 layers of newspaper strips using the paper mache mixture. 

Then, use your colored designs for the final layer. (Don’t use too much glue on this final layer.) Once dry, carefully pop the balloon inside using a pin. 

Download a cube net template online and print it onto cardstock. Complete the cube shape, omitting the top side. This will form your basket. (Optional: Write energizing messages on each side.)

Punch a hole in the top two opposite sides of the basket and thread string through each one. Glue the end of both strings to the balloon. 

Hang the balloons from bedroom or classroom ceilings with clear fishing lines to create an illusion of them floating mid-air, inspiring students to aim high.
