In the spirit of the upcoming spring weather and Easter holiday, we are driving by with a fun tutorial for Popsicle Stick Carrot Cars {perfect for the little car lovers in your life!}
And I have to say, like I always do, this carrot themed kid craft is really SIMPLE and almost costs nothing {what parents love to hear!}
My little boy had fun creating these pieces and I’m sure older kids will too! Plus they double as awesome pretend play pieces and/or decor pieces. If you are planning on having an Easter party or similar celebration this year – just attach string to the back for easy hanging on doors, windows and walls. Easy peasy – so get right on it!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished carrots cars made from popsicle sticks, on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to admire your hard work! #gluedtomycrafts
