The Easter school holiday activity was held by Ceramic Studio, with hundreds of tiles being supplied to excited participants across five days this week.
The idea was for participants to draw their favourite thing about Wagga onto the tiles, but some decided to make it Easter-themed or just paint whatever it was that made them happy.
Sydney-based brothers four-year-old Ziggy Grentell and seven-year-old Jude Grentell decorated tiles with their grandmother, Wagga's Lynne Knight, on Wednesday.
Jude said he was able to paint three tiles of his very own to be contributed to the display. "I did an Easter egg, an Easter bunny and a chicken," he said.
Wagga mum Therese Paull and two of her children, eight-year-old Maev Paull and 10-year-old Owen Paull, were also among those to contribute their artwork.

On one of the tiles Maev painted a picture of her family of six, including her big brother Owen, in answer to what her favourite thing about Wagga is.
National ISPT marketing manager Gabriella Bowman said the activity came about as the company, which owns the Marketplace, wanted to do something special that could be displayed to the public to mark the centre's 25th birthday.
"Once the tiles are completed we will be creating a mural of them within the centre for customers to see," Ms Bowman said. "We are looking to unveil the mural later this year."
It has not yet been announced where in the centre the mural will be located.
