paper
glue
scissors

Dads Mosaic Coasters, here's what you will need:
metal jar lids

plaster of Paris
sea glass, seashells, smooth pebbles, mosaic tiles, broken pottery, letter beads or tiles or scrabble tiles to spell names or words
felt
scissors
glue
Mix plaster of Paris. Pour into the metal jar lid. If your “mosaic” pieces are much thinner than the lid is shallow, you might want to allow the plaster of Paris to start to set for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, you could pour a layer, allow to set to create a base, then pour another, fresh, wet layer. Kids can place words (like “Daddy” or “Love”) and then put other tiles and pebbles around the word in any design they like. Allow to dry (plaster will be dry in about 20 minutes). Trace and cut a circle of felt and glue to the bottom of the lid to prevent table scratches.
