This document outlines an activity plan for a pre-school art project in Bourbon l'Archambault, France. The goal is for 5-year-old students to create a mosaic displaying the flags of several European countries. Over four months, students will work in small groups to draw flag designs on wood plates, break tiles into pieces, and use glue to lay the tiles in a mosaic pattern depicting the flags. The activity aims to teach students about European flags while developing their manual skills. Parents admired the completed mosaic, and it will be unveiled at an event in June.
