Paper Carrot Craft Supplies:

• Orange Colored Cardstock
• Brown Colored Cardstock
• Kid Friendly Paper Scissors
• School Glue
• Plastic Fork {clean but can be recycled}
• Green Craft Paint
• Small Paper Plate
• Large Wiggle Eyes {two per carrot cutout}
• Black Sharpie Marker

Directions:

• First things first – grab your cardstock paper, school glue and scissors.
• Decide how many carrots you want in the “garden.” Cut out that many triangles from the orange cardstock.
• Now glue those pieces in the “dirt” on the brown cardstock.
• You now have the start of your carrots.
• Grab your green craft paint, fork and paper plate.
• Squirt some green paint on the paper plate. You don’t need a lot. The size of a quarter is a good starting point.
• Have children take their fork – which is their “paint brush” and have them make the greenery on each carrot cutout.
• Finally – the last step of this fork painted carrot craft. Glue the wiggle eyes in place on each carrot piece and draw on a smile to give them some character.
• Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
