Materials

  • Cotton pads: 8–10 pieces (for mushroom caps)
  • Brown or beige construction paper: 1 sheet (for stems, 15×15 cm)
  • Red watercolor paint or diluted food coloring: 1 small cup (¼ cup water + a few drops of red color)
  • White paint or small cotton bits: for mushroom dots
  • Paintbrush or dropper
  • Decorative fall-themed paper (optional, for background)
  • Glue stick
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Cut each cotton pad in half to form mushroom caps.
  • Cut small mushroom stems from brown or beige construction paper. Glue them onto the background sheet, leaving space at the top for the caps.
  • Attach the half cotton pads above each stem, making sure they curve slightly like real mushrooms.
  • Dip a paintbrush or dropper into the red paint and gently dab color onto each cotton pad cap. Watch the paint spread beautifully through the soft fibers.
  • Add white dots using a small brush or glue tiny cotton bits for the classic toadstool look.
