[Autumn Crafts] Easy and Fun! Mushroom Craft Ideas

Mushroom pen holder

Let’s make a mushroom-themed pen holder, inspired by one of autumn’s seasonal delights! First, cover one of the openings of a toilet paper roll with thick paper, and wrap the outside with beige origami paper.

Then attach a mushroom cap cut out of drawing paper.

It’s a good idea to add patterns to the mushroom cap using a sponge dauber or round stickers.

Finally, add facial features to the toilet paper roll—the mushroom’s stem—if you like, and you’re done! It’s perfect for holding art supplies or as a gift for parents/guardians.

Origami and finger-stamp mushrooms

[Kindergarten/Daycare] First Origami! September Forest Peekaboo Mushroom Art & Craft

Let’s make cute mushrooms using origami and finger stamps.

Choose an origami sheet in your favorite color and fold it once into a triangle.

Next, dip your finger in paint of your choice and add spots with finger stamps.

You can use just one color or combine several.

When you’re done, cut out paper shapes for the mushroom pattern and assemble them to finish! It’s also a great idea to pair them with tree-shaped cutouts or combine mushrooms that kids have made to create an autumn wall display.

Try preparing mushrooms in various sizes, both large and small.

Footprints and sticker mushrooms

Handprint and Footprint Stamping Craft for Ages 0–2 [Autumn] [Nursery/Kindergarten]

Let’s try making mushrooms using children’s footprints! First, trace the children’s footprints onto construction paper.

These footprints will be used as the mushroom stems.

Next, cut out mushroom cap shapes from construction paper.

Depending on the children’s ages, have the teacher handle this step.

Once the caps are ready, attach them to the heel side of the footprints.

Then, stick round stickers onto the caps to create the mushroom spots, and you’re done! For decoration, we recommend drawing autumn-themed pictures around the mushrooms, adding leaves and seasonal foods made from construction or origami paper, or gluing on fallen leaves collected from the playground.

Stylish mushrooms made with masking tape

Masking tape comes in all sorts of designs and patterns.

How about using that tape to make stylish mushrooms? On a sheet of white drawing paper, stick your favorite masking tapes randomly—vertically, horizontally, and diagonally.

Once you’ve added as much as you like, cut the paper into the shape of a mushroom cap, then pair it with another piece of paper cut into the shape of the mushroom stem to complete the craft.

Each child will choose different tapes and arrangements, resulting in wonderfully original creations.

Depending on the children’s ages, teachers should handle any steps that involve using scissors.

Autumn Origami! How to Fold a Mushroom

How to Fold an Autumn Origami Mushroom [Easy Origami Lesson]

Prepare two sheets of origami paper, round stickers, and glue to make a cute, original mushroom.

We’ll create it in two parts: the cap and the stem.

For the cap, fold the paper into a triangle, then fold the corners to shape it like a mushroom cap.

For the stem, make a triangular crease, then fold the left and right corners toward the center twice.

Tuck the tip into the crease, adjust the shape, and round it out to complete the stem.

Glue the cap and stem together, add the round stickers, and enjoy making your own original mushroom!
