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.
* Have them glue those pieces to the paper plate half.
* 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.
* Then display proudly to all to see!!!
