Handprint Paper Bag Carrot - Easter Kid Craft Idea

Looking for new ideas to keep the kids entertained this spring season? Here is a fun and easy craft project that will help your little ones get creative!

Craft Supplies:

  • Brown Paper Bag
  • Orange Craft Paint
  • Large Foam Paint Brush
  • Green Cardstock Paper
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Stapler
  • Crinkle Paper or Recycled Paper

Directions:

  • First things first – go ahead and paint your paper bag completely orange with the craft paint. You only need ONE painted bag per carrot craft.
  • When done, set aside to let it dry completely.
  • While the paint is drying, go ahead and grab your green cardstock, pencil & scissors.
  • Trace your child’s hand on the green cardstock and trim out that piece with scissors. Again, you only need ONE handprint cutout per carrot craft.
  • When you are ready and the paint is dry enough, grab your painted paper bag and crinkle bag.
  • Fill the paper bag with the crinkle paper {or scrunched up recycled newspaper pieces} until it’s about half way full and can stand on it’s own.
  • Twist the top a little bit and go ahead & staple the bag shut.
  • Finally the last step is to staple the handprint cutout to the stuffed paper bag to really make it look like a carrot.
  • Now display your paper bag carrot proudly for ALL to see!

Make it your own and make it a carrot themed gift bag – when you stuff the bag with the crinkle paper, throw in some small trinkets & Easter candy. Then follow the remaining steps and gift away!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
