[Autumn Crafts] Easy and Fun! Mushroom Craft Ideas

Crayon-resist mushroom painting

Let’s make mushrooms using a wax-resist painting technique! First, take a piece of construction paper cut into a mushroom cap shape and draw patterns on it with crayons.

Once your patterns are done, paint over the top with your favorite watercolor paint, using plenty of water for a solid wash.

The paint will resist the crayon marks, and the beautiful patterns will appear! After the paint dries, combine it with a piece of construction paper cut into the stem shape to complete your mushroom.

You can also add a face with round stickers or however you like.

Depending on the children’s ages, teachers should handle the cutting of the construction paper.

Pom-pom mushrooms made from toilet paper rolls

Let’s use toilet paper rolls like stamps to decorate the mushroom caps! First, cut out the shapes of the mushroom stem and cap from construction paper.

Depending on the children’s ages, the teacher may want to handle the cutting.

Once the construction paper is ready, dip the open end of a toilet paper roll in paint of your choice and stamp it onto the cap with a tapping motion.

After you’ve created the pattern you like, combine it with the stem piece to complete the mushroom! It’s also a great idea to draw a face on the stem with a pen or add round stickers.

Origami: Mushroom

[Easy Origami Mushroom] Autumn Origami 1: How to make an origami mushroom.

As one of the quintessential foods of autumn, mushrooms are surely indispensable.

The way they peek out from between fallen leaves has a certain charm.

Let’s try making mushrooms using origami.

The key point is to make fine creases to create the mushroom’s rounded shape.

By adjusting the folding method and cleverly using the reverse side of the paper, you can complete an adorable mushroom with differently colored cap and stem.

Their simple cuteness makes them perfect as accents in drawings or as part of decorations.

Torn-paper collage mushroom

How about adding patterns to a mushroom cap using torn-paper collage? First, cut out the mushroom cap and stem from construction paper.

If the children are old enough to use scissors, let them do it themselves; if not, the teacher should prepare the pieces in advance.

Next, tear colored origami paper into small pieces.

Then randomly glue the pieces onto the mushroom cap to decorate it.

Once you’ve covered it enough, attach the cap and stem to complete the mushroom.

If you like, draw a cute face on the stem with crayons or pens.

Bubbly little mushroom

Perfect for autumn wall displays! 'Bubble Wrap Mushrooms' (recommended for 3-year-olds)

Let’s use the bubble wrap lying around at home to make autumn-themed mushroom decorations! Draw the shapes you want on construction paper or cardstock and cut them out.

Then cut the bubble wrap to match those shapes and glue it on top.

After that, use permanent markers to color the bubble wrap.

You’ll create decorations that feel fresh thanks to bubble wrap’s unique texture.

Coloring the bubble wrap is also a sensory experience you don’t usually get, so kids are sure to enjoy it.

It’s a great craft that puts bubble wrap—often thrown away or hard to repurpose—to good use!
