Craft Supplies:
- Orange Cardstock Paper

- Green Craft Paint

- 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.
