Mushroom Picture Binder

Children learning about mushrooms benefit from visual reference materials they can browse independently. This mushroom picture binder is a printable PDF designed for ages 4 to 8, containing 16 illustrated mushroom pages with labels that can be assembled into a reference booklet or displayed as wall art for nature study units.

📦 What's Included

• 16 mushroom pages: Each featuring one mushroom type with watercolor illustration and name label
• Cover page: Title page for picture binder or photo album
• 2 labeled posters: One in Denali font, one in Futura font showing all 16 mushrooms
• Fill-in-the-blanks poster: Mushroom identification exercise with answer tabs for velcro or gluing
• Letter size pages: Standard 8.5 x 11 inch format

💡 Three Ways to Use

Picture Binder: Print all pages, slip into clear sheet protectors, and place in a three-ring binder. Children browse through the binder like a reference book during mushroom studies or after nature walks where they've spotted fungi.

Wall Gallery: Print select pages, frame them, and create a mushroom-themed wall display for your nature study area or classroom. The labeled images serve as quick visual references during lessons.

Poster Activity: Print the fill-in-the-blanks poster and corresponding answer tabs. Children place mushroom names in correct positions, using either adhesive dots for one-time completion or velcro for reusable practice. The labeled poster serves as the control of error.
