Today's mushrooms are not difficult to make, the mini monsters can also cozily participate. It is recommended that the adult crafter shows how the stem of the mushroom is folded. After a few tries you will succeed! Once you've mastered the folding trick, you can quickly make many more large and small mushrooms so do have fun!

Fold the top and bottom point back.

Turn it over and here is your mushroom.

Stick white dots on the hat to your liking.

Now your mushroom is ready! But what can you actually do with it? A lot of different things! It can be a counting game (with the dots), you can hang the mushrooms in the Christmas tree, you can make a garland with them or put them in the windowsill with some pine branches and / or little lights. Cozy!
