Materials:

- Small plastic beads in pretty colors
- Heavy duty tape (like package sealing) if the lid is not attached
- If beads are too expensive, use dry beans, peas, and un popped popcorn
- White paper
- Pencil and eraser
Method:
- Use the heavy duty tape to fasten one side of the lid to the box, so that it will open and close.
- Put the tape inside the lid and box.
- You may need to cut or trim a bit off the lid if its sides interfere with it closing.
- The child should design the mosaic before starting to glue the beads.
- Draw it on the paper. The smiley face goes in the middle and the child decorates around it.

Smiley Face Games or Crafts - Smiley Face Concentration Game
To make this Smiley Face Game, you will need 3" by 5" cards and a felt pen and that's all!
The game is a Concentration Game, played with Smiley Faces! To play the game, children shuffle the cards and lay them face down on a table in four rows of six cards each.
The object of the game is to turn over two cards that are the same, with each player taking turns. Each time a player finds a pair, he/she keeps the pair. And, that player gets another turn.
If the cards turned over don't match, they are turned upside down again and kept in play. The player with the most pairs at the end, when all the cards have been matched up, is the winner.
Children must try to remember where each card is located as they play the game. To determine who has the first turn, roll a die or play Rock, Scissors, Paper.
