On the krokotak website we saw how you can make fun mushrooms with pre-schoolers, from an egg carton. Really nice autumn craft for the mini-monsters! We're going to make them ourselves right away, of course. If you want to give the mushrooms eyes and a mouth, you may, but we prefer to keep them simple. :))
Here is how to make the mushrooms
Cut out the cups and the points in between.
Stick the half cups together and cut them shorter.
Allow the glue to dry completely.
Meanwhile paint the cut out ponts white.
Let the paint dry
Give the stems a second coat of paint.
The glue in the caps should be dry now.
Pain the caps red and let the paint dry.
Give the caps a second layer of red.
Stick them onto the stems when the paint is dry.
Allow the glue to dry completely again.
Paint white dots on the caps using a thin paintbrush.
Allow the dots to dry too and optional stick a face on the toadstools.
The toadstools look very cute on our Autumn 'table'!
Happy Autumn to all!
