Continuing on with the fun theme of yesterday’s blog post – today I present to YOU our Paper Plate Mushroom Kid Craft idea!

Perfect for spring and children of ALL ages! So grab those craft supplies and “grow” your own one-of-a-kind mushrooms today! Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Red Colored Tissue Paper
* White & Brown Cardstock {affiliate link}
* School Glue {affiliate link}
* Scissors
* Small Circle Paper Punch {affiliate link}
*  Stapler
optional – glitter glue, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First cut your paper plate in half. You can either make TWO mushrooms or set one half aside for another day.
* Next grab your tissue paper and cut it into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Take your paper plate half and put a good amount of glue all over it. Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* While they are working on that, punch out some white “dots” with your circle paper punch {you can do as many or as little as you like} You should also at this time cut out a stem of the brown cardstock for your mushrooms.
* To finish off the mushroom kid craft – staple/glue the cardstock pieces in their designated spots on the paper plate, as well as any other embellishments you see fit. Then display proudly!
