Pipe Cleaner & Styrofoam Cup Carrot – Kid Craft

Pipe Cleaner & Styrofoam Cup Carrot

Happy Friday everyone! I’m so happy you landed on today’s styrofoam cup carrot craft tutorial! On that note – who is ready for the weekend?? RAISE YOUR HANDS UP HIGH!

The weather isn’t exactly reflecting spring time in Wyoming – but I’m ready for a much needed break from our daily lives {hello marathon of Lifetime movies!} And we are that much closer to picking up my husband and attending his military graduation ceremony! Woo hoo!

Today’s kid craft blog post is in spirit of spring and the upcoming Easter holiday. I have to say, this Styrofoam Cup Carrot craft is really SIMPLE and almost costs nothing {what ALL parents love to hear!}

My little toddler had so much fun creating it and I’m sure older kids will too!

If you are planning on having an Easter party or similar celebration this year – these would be great for kids to make as table decorations. Just sprinkle some shredded brown paper on the table and “plant” your carrots. Easy peasy! Then when you are done crafting, come share pictures with us on our Facebook page to see! #gluedtomycrafts
