Hi! I'm browsing for some ideas or activities my clients can do. While looking, I found a bunch of coloring pages called "mosaics." I couldn't find an explanation of what it is. Can someone please explain to me how this kind of coloring should be done? Probably a stupid question, but I'm putting it out there anyway!
Good point Janet, we will update these activities with more info.
Mosaic coloring pages are a fun way to sharpen motor skills and release tension. Just like meditation, coloring allows us to switch off our brains from other thoughts and focus only on the moment. It is a calming and therapeutic pastime.

Is there something special to do that makes it a 'mosaic'?
Per Google: A mosaic is a pattern or image made of small regular or irregular pieces of colored stone, glass or ceramic, held in place by plaster/mortar, and covering a surface. Mosaics are often used as floor and wall decoration, and were particularly popular in the Ancient Roman world.
Thank you so much for allowing us to share all the wonderful ideas that are on Golden Carers. It is so helpful, inspiring and they give our residents so much fun and the feeling of achievement once we have completed them. It is great that we can spread the days out and do a lot over time rather than in one session. THANK YOU ALL

I think that is what Janet was asking
I am not sure what makes it a mosaic except that it is abstract coloring
I really like mandala art
