- Have kids color in the muffin cup “liner” in the design. They can use any type of coloring material and/or colors.
- Next up, help your child cut/tear their brown construction paper into small pieces.
- Now have them use school glue to glue those pieces inside the “muffin cup” design. Remind the kids that the goal isn’t perfection—the jagged edges give the muffin design a fun, textured look.
- The final step is to have kids add fingerprint “blueberries” on top of the brown paper, to bring the the theme together {or skip this step all together if you choose!}
