Craft Ideas for Your Mushroom Coloring Pages
Here are a few fun craft ideas for putting these beautifully mushroom sheets to good use! I’ve also prinkled in fun facts about mushrooms to inspire some learning and imagination along the way.
1. Mushroom Garden Collage
Cut out your colored mushroom designs and arrange them on a poster board or large piece of paper to create a vibrant mushroom forest. Add extra details like trees, grass, fairies, or gnomes (drawn or crafted from other materials).
Fun Fact: Did you know mushrooms are more closely related to animals than plants? They breathe oxygen like us and release carbon dioxide!
2. DIY Mushroom Puppets
Glue colored mushroom cutouts onto popsicle sticks or cardboard tubes. You can add googly eyes or draw faces to give them personality! These make adorable puppets for imaginative play.
Fun Fact: Mushrooms grow from mycelium, an underground network of thread-like structures that can stretch for miles. It’s like a secret mushroom internet!
3. Mushroom Nature Mobiles
Punch a hole at the top of each colored mushroom and string them with yarn or ribbon. Attach the strings to a stick or embroidery hoop to create a hanging mobile. Add beads, leaves, or pinecones for a nature-inspired vibe.
Fun Fact: The largest living organism on Earth is a honey fungus in Oregon, covering 3.4 square miles and estimated to be 2,400 years old!
4. Mushroom Memory Game
Make multiple copies of the same mushroom designs, color them in pairs, and cut them into cards for a memory-matching game. Flip them over and have kids match the pairs!
Fun Fact: Mushrooms are not only cool to look at—they’re super nutritious! They’re packed with vitamins like D, B2, and B3.
5. Mushroom Greeting Cards
Fold cardstock in half, glue a colored mushroom onto the front, and add cute messages like “You’re spore-tacular!” or “Have a fungi-filled day!”
Fun Fact: Some mushrooms glow in the dark! This phenomenon is called bioluminescence and is used to attract insects to spread spores.
6. Spore Print Science Display
Alongside their colored pages, let kids experiment with making spore prints by placing a real mushroom gill-side down on paper and covering it with a bowl overnight. They can add these prints to their mushroom craft for a science-art hybrid.
Fun Fact: Spore prints can help identify mushroom species—kind of like fingerprints!
7. Mushroom Magnets
Shrink or laminate small mushroom designs and attach them to magnetic strips. Pop them on the fridge for a playful kitchen decoration!
Fun Fact: Mushrooms have been used for thousands of years in medicine, including ancient China, Egypt, and Greece.
