Who this list is for
The paper bowl mushroom house craft list is for six-year-olds making a small whimsical display with a shallow paper bowl cap and a cardboard tube stem. It is a simple painting-and-assembly project with pre-cut paper door shapes.
How to use this list
Give each child one small white paper bowl and one cardboard toilet paper tube. Paint the bowl cap with red washable tempera paint using foam paintbrushes, then set it aside to dry. Prepare brown cardstock, green construction paper, and pre-cut paper door shapes for the house and ground. Add white dot stickers to the cap, use washable tacky glue for the bowl and tube connection, and use glue sticks for paper pieces. Finish with washable markers.
Common mistakes
Do not attach white dot stickers to wet red paint. Avoid trying to hold the bowl cap on the tube with a glue stick alone; washable tacky glue is listed for the heavier connection. Keep the paper door shapes flat until the tube is ready for them.
