Introducing a mushroom craft made with cotton balls—its three-dimensional, colorful pattern is super cute! First, cut out the mushroom cap and stem from construction paper.

Depending on the children’s ages, the teacher should prepare the cutouts in advance.

Next, glue cotton balls in your favorite colors onto the cap, using as many as you like and arranging them however you prefer.

Finally, combine the cap with the paper stem, and you’re done! Mix and match different colored cotton balls to make it even more vibrant.

Mushroom vegetable stamp

Let’s use vegetable stamps to create autumn-like mushroom patterns! Vegetables with distinctive cross-sections, such as lotus root and okra, are perfect for stamping.

If you’re growing vegetables in the school garden, harvesting and using those is also great! Have the children stamp on drawing paper with the vegetables, and then the teacher can use that paper to make mushrooms.

They’ll look adorable if you make them in any shapes and sizes you like, or add faces.

Using vegetables as stamps isn’t something you get to do often, so it will surely be a stimulating experience for the children!

Mushroom with a balloon stamp

Would you like to try making mushrooms by stamping with balloons? Have an adult inflate the balloons.

The key is to blow them up a bit smaller so they’re easy for children to hold.

Dip the balloon in paint and stamp it onto construction paper in the color of your choice.

It’s more fun if you use several colors of paint.

Finally, attach the stem pieces and your mushroom is complete.

You can draw patterns on the stem or add a face to create a unique mushroom all your own.

Perfect for autumn wall decorations, too.

Tissue paper mushroom

Let’s make colorful and cute mushrooms using tissue paper! First, cut out a large mushroom stem (stipe) from construction paper.

Depending on the children’s ages, the teacher can prepare these in advance.

Next, have the children choose their favorite colors of tissue paper and crumple them into small balls.

Once they’ve made enough, place the balls on a sheet of plastic wrap and wrap them up while shaping them into a mushroom cap.

When it’s done, attach it to the construction paper stem to finish! If you like, draw a face on the stem for extra fun.

Mushrooms in bleeding watercolor

Daycare Craft: Mushroom Art! A Preschool Craft Activity Starting from Age 1!

Let’s use wet-on-wet painting to make cute mushrooms for the autumn season.

We’ll start with the stem.

Apply glue all over a sheet of origami paper and attach it to a toilet paper roll.

Fold and glue the excess at the top and bottom inward.

Next, use a coffee filter to make the cap.

Draw patterns on the coffee filter with water-based markers, then mist it with water.

Once it’s dry, firmly glue the stem and cap together.

Your mushroom is complete! Be sure to spray enough water so the ink bleeds nicely.

Prepare several colors of water-based markers and let the children choose their favorites.
