Instructions for scouts:

1. Cut the cardboard into a simple shape (circle, heart, square). Remind them that simple shapes are easier to cut. It might help if you draw the shapes for them.
2. Spread glue on a small area of the cardboard.
3. Set some seeds into the glue. Use different types of seeds to make a pattern.
4. Move to another section of the cardboard and repeat the glue and seeds.
5. Let the mosaics dry.
6. Add a ribbon or piece of string to the back to form a hanger.
