If you have been a follower of my blog for some time now, you may recognize this craft post as something similar that I shared on A Night Owl Blog last year {almost to the date!} Well – I loved that particular kid craft so much, that I decided to give it a new crafty angle and give it life again. This tutorial may even be EASIER than the first but I think it’s a tight race when it comes to cuteness!

Not only is this Handprint Tissue Paper Carrot Kid Craft super easy, inexpensive and fun for ages – but it’s also perfect to make in honor of the upcoming Easter holiday or perhaps even in celebration of the change in season. You can easily turn this carrot craft idea into holiday decorations by stringing a whole bunch on a banner or making smaller versions to add to card fronts for grandparents. The possibilities are pretty endless! I just set up the basic framework and I hope you run with it!

So what are you waiting for? Grab those simple craft supplies and your child & get to “hoppin” on making these adorable carrots. Don’t forget to save one as a keepsake in your scrapbook! Happy crafting my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Supplies:

* Orange Tissue Paper
* Green/White Cardstock
* Scissors
* Pen
* Glue

Directions:

* First you will want to cut out a simple carrot shape triangle from your cardstock {you can also a cereal box for this part since you will want something sturdy for all the glue you will be using}
* 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 three handprints, 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!

You can also use the same idea above to make a radish {or turnip!} Just follow the directions above but cut out a radish shape instead out of the white cardstock and use a purplish color tissue paper in place of the orange. Super simple and both perfect for bunnies to snack on!
