Paper Plate Carrot Garden
Today’s latest tutorial from Glued To My Crafts is a fun and super simple kid craft idea that’s absolutely perfect for spring! I really hope you like it and see my vision on this one!
This Handprint Carrots In The Garden craft idea incorporates an inexpensive paper plate and cardstock paper elements to make a one-of-a-kind spring themed piece! My favorite part is the sweet paper handprint cutout that we turned into “carrots” growing from the dirt. Do you see my vision?

Directions:
- First cut your paper plate in half. Straight up the center to make TWO equal halves.

- Next up – grab your brown tissue paper and have children cut/tear a small amount into small pieces to represent the dirt.

- Once they are done with that step, set aside the paper plate piece to allow it to dry a bit.
- Now grab the orange cardstock paper, your pencil and scissors.
- Trace one of your child’s hands on it {any hand they want!}.
- Use the scissors to trim around/out the traced handprint design from the paper.
- Now grab the green cardstock.
- Cut out small greenery for EACH fingertip of the handprint. This will give the look of carrots!
- Go ahead and staple or glue those on, on each fingertip of the handprint cutout.
- To finish off the paper handprint carrots in the garden idea, staple the decorated orange handprint to the paper plate.
- If desired – cut out a simple worm from light brown cardstock paper to add to the paper plate piece.
