Styrofoam Cup Carrot {Kid Craft}

Happy Friday everyone! Who is ready for the weekend??

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 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! #gluedtomycrafts

Here is what you need to make {one} styrofoam cup carrot:

Styrofoam Cup Carrot Craft Supplies:
* White Styrofoam Cup
* Large Paper Plate
* Orange Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Kid Friendly Scissors
* 3 Green Pipes Cleaners

Directions:

* Place your styrofoam cup in the center of the paper plate, upside down.

* Squirt some orange paint on the paper plate.

* Have your child paint their cup completely orange.

* Once done, set aside to let it dry.

* Next take your pipe cleaners and cut them in half {or thirds.}

* Stick the pipe cleaners into the bottom portion of the styrofoam cup.

* Now display your newly made carrot piece proudly for all to see!
