We are going to show you how easy it is to make this super fun spring craft project using black cardstock, sidewalk chalk AND our free printable! Keep scrolling to learn more about our Paper & Chalk Art Carrot tutorial!
Sidewalk Chalk & Paper Carrot Craft
I’ve done it again on Glued To My Crafts! Our unique sidewalk chalk on paper tutorials have been so popular as of late, that today I decided to add a EASTER THEMED version to the blog archives. Just in time for spring!
With that being said, our super fun chalk and paper smiling carrot craft is going to be rather inexpensive to recreate and a breeze from start to finish. All you need is a few pieces of sidewalk chalk, dark colored paper and our free carrot printable listed below. That’s it!
Plus if your child can “cut and color” they will a pro at this project! I could easily see this idea being done with a large crowd during a family gathering, Sunday school or in the classroom. Even adults can participate in this one too!
So what are we waiting for?! All the details and the free carrot shape printable can be found below. Don’t let this blossoming abstract craft idea slip away. Bookmark it now and later this week, make some colorful “one-of-a-kind” chalk art carrots with the kids!

Get creative with your kids this weekend and try this paper & chalk art carrot craft! They’ll love the chance to get crafty and you’ll have a creative piece of art that will last way past Easter.
Craft Supplies:
- Carrot Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Crayons, Pencils, Markers etc.
- Scissors
- Wiggle Eye Stickers
- Black Cardstock Paper
- Green Sidewalk Chalk
- Baby Wipes
- Adhesive
Directions:
- First things first – download our free carrot shape printable listed above in the supply list.
- Next go ahead and find it on your computer, right click & print the file on a single sheet of white cardstock. You only need ONE print per carrot craft.
- Now that you have the printable, it’s time to color it in with your choice of craft medium. I used a crayon on mine.
- When done coloring in the shape, use your craft scissors to trim it out.
- Discard excess paper.
- At this point in time, if desired, add a face to your cutout. Add some wiggle eyes and use a black marker to draw on a smile.
- Now grab a single sheet of black cardstock and your green chalk.
- Turn your black paper so it’s “portrait” on your working area.
- Envision your carrot on the paper. Using the chalk, make several lines of greenery, on the top half of the paper.
- When done with the chalk, use baby wipes to clean off excess chalk from fingers and hands.
- Now grab your orange cutout from earlier and choice of adhesive.
- Secure you orange piece on the bottom half of the black paper, so it looks like the greenery is coming from the heart shape. This gives the illusion of a carrot.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit {maybe some glitter or small Easter themed stickers!}
- Then display your custom one-of-a-kind paper and chalk carrot piece proudly for all to see!
- Don’t forget to share pictures with us on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
