First cut your paper plate in half. Straight up the center to make TWO equal pieces.
1 Large Paper Plate
You can either make TWO mushrooms at once or set one half aside for another day.
Next grab your red tissue paper and cut it into small squares.
Red Tissue Paper
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.
White Cardstock Paper, Brown Cardstock Paper
To finish off the Paper Plate Mushroom craft – staple/glue the cardstock pieces in their designated spots on the paper plate, as well as any other embellishments you see fit.
