Supplies:
Steps:
- To start, select the color of construction paper you would like to use for your mug.
- Draw a simple mug shape, and carefully cut out the shape.
- Next, using brown construction paper cut out a long thin almond shape to be the hot cocoa in your mug, and glue it to the mug cutout. See the image below for reference.
- Next, glue or stick on two googly eyes of your choice. Then using white paper cut out multiple tiny squares to be your little marshmallows. Glue the “marshmallows” on top of the brown construction paper area, then set your mug aside to let the glue dry.
- Once dry, use a marker to draw a smile under the googly eyes.
- And lastly, using makers, stickers, or whatever craft supplies you have in the house, decorate your mug characters however you like.
