This activity is not only fun and easy but also allows children to explore their artistic side using just a few simple materials. This makes it an inexpensive and straightforward activity that doesn’t require a lot of preparation or cleanup!

Card Supplies:

  • Blank Tree Log Printable – on our landing page
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Blue Cardstock Paper
  • Crayons or Coloring Pencils
  • Scissors
  • Glue Stick
  • Washable Craft Paint {choice of color}
  • Washable Craft Paint {white}
  • Baby Wipes
  • Embellishments

Directions:

  • First print out the provided blank tree log printable on white cardstock paper. One printout will give you TWO opportunities to do this mushroom craft.
  • Use crayons or coloring pencils to color in ONE of the log designs.
  • When done, trim it out.
  • Adhere the log shape to the center of your blue cardstock paper.
  • Next up – the finger paint step. Squirt your paint colors on a small paper plate.
  • Dip your thumb in the white paint and then press it down anywhere on the log design/on your paper, vertically to make a stem. Repeat this step to make multiple stems, spacing them out evenly on the paper.
  • Use baby wipes to remove the excess paint.
  • The mushroom cap is the most recognizable part of the mushroom. To make the caps, dip your thumb into the remaining craft paint and press it firmly at the top of each stem you just made. The result should resemble the classic mushroom shape. At this point in time, you can also explore different shapes and sizes for the mushroom caps. You can create round, oval, or even heart-shaped caps. The variety will make your artwork more dynamic and interesting.
  • Once done with the paint completely, use baby wipes to remove excess paint from fingers {as well as washing up at the sink!}
  • To finish it off, add any other embellishments you see fit and then allow it to dry completely before displaying proudly for all to see!

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
