Carrot Kid Craft Supplies:

* Large or Small Paper Plate – one per carrot craft
* Orange Tissue Paper
* Green Craft Paint
* Small Paint Brush
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* Wooden Clothespins – three to five per carrot craft

Directions:

* First cut your paper plate into a triangular/carrot shape.
* Discard unwanted paper plate pieces.
* Grab your orange tissue paper and cut it into small squares {let the kids practice their cutting skills}
* Next take your paper plate piece and put a good amount of glue all over it.
* Have children place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered.
* Set it aside to allow it to dry a bit.
* Now grab your clothespin. If you are using a small paper plate {like I did} THREE clothespins will work. If you are using a large paper plate, use FIVE clothespins.
* Have children paint the wood pieces completely green with the craft paint.
* Set aside to let them dry completely.
* To finish off the Clothespin Paper Plate Carrot Kid Craft – have children “pinch” and attach their clothespins to the larger side of the cut paper plate piece, to represent the top of a carrot.
* Then display as is or add other embellishments you see fit!!!
