Directions:
- First you will want to print out the free provided printable listed in the supply list above. You only need ONE PRINT per carrot craft.
- Once you have it printed out, go ahead and trim out the heart shape in the printable.
- Discard excess paper.
- Next cut your orange tissue paper into small squares.
- Put a few squiggles of glue all over your cardstock piece and have children place the tissue paper on top, until it’s completely covered.
- Set aside to let it dry completely.
- Next trace and trim out your child’s handprints from the green cardstock. I did one handprint cutout but you can do more/less.
- To finish off the Handprint Tissue Paper Carrot craft – simply staple on the handprint pieces to your carrot piece.
- Then display proudly!
- BTW – I added wiggle eyes and a black Sharpie marker smiling face to mine but you can skip that if you like!
