* 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 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.
