Continuing on with the fun theme of yesterday’s mushroom themed blog post on Glued To My Crafts, today I present to YOU our Paper Plate Mushroom Kid Craft idea! Perfect for your springtime celebrations and of course, children of ALL ages!

So let’s grab those craft supplies and “grow” our own one-of-a-kind mushrooms together today! Remember – you can easily change out the colors and/or materials if you need to, as well!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Mushroom Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate {one makes TWO mushrooms}
* Red Colored Tissue Paper {affiliate link}
* White & Brown Cardstock {affiliate link}
* School Glue {affiliate link}
* Craft Scissors
* Small Circle Paper Punch {affiliate link}
*  Stapler
optional – glitter glue, rhinestones, 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 Paper Plate 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!
