Paper Plate Carrot House – Easter Kid Craft
I’m HOPPIN’ with excitement right now! This is another FIRST-SEEN-HERE idea and I’m so EGG-CITED that the vision in my head FINALLY came together after hammering it out {several times} on my craft table. I really do hope you see my vision too!
With today’s Easter themed tutorial, you are going to take a basic orange paper plate & turn it a cozy safe-haven for some of your new imaginary bunny friends {maybe even for the Easter bunny!}
With the simple eggstra-special tutorial below, I hope to inspire you and your child, to customize your orange carrot fairy house by adding your own creative touches like different craft mediums, stickers and glitter – all of which you probably already have in your craft stash right now {if not – I highly suggest visiting your local Dollar Tree to stock up!}
On that note… I just know you are going to LOVE making this carrot inspired paper paper piece together. So without further ado – find the full tutorial for this fairy carrot house kids craft idea below!
Remember – at Glued To My Crafts we set up the framework for you but we want YOU can make it however you like. Don’t feel restricted by our “directions” or even the provided pictures. We just hope to inspire you to make your own version of a magical carrot themed bunny house! You can even refer to our popsicle stick carrot house version for a few more ideas on how to decorate yours!
Happy crafting, my friends!!! When you are done crafting, snap a few pictures of your finished Carrot Bunny House creations made from an orange paper plate and share them on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram, so we can see them & admire! We can’t wait to see what you “build” for the Easter bunny today! #gluedtomycrafts

Carrot House Craft Supplies:
- Large ORANGE Paper Plate {one per carrot house craft}
- Basic Paper Craft Scissors
- Green Cardstock Paper
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- White Cardstock Paper
- Black Sharpie Marker
- Glue Stick
- Hand-Held Office Stapler

Directions:
- First things first – cut off a small section of your orange paper plate, to make the bottom of the carrot house lay flat.
- Discard the small piece you just cut off.
- Now grab your green cardstock paper and scissors.
- Cut out some greenery for on top of the orange carrot house, as well as some small bushes for on the sides of the door.
- Now grab your brown and white cardstock paper.
- Cut out two circle windows, a door and a rectangle chimney.
- Use the Sharpie marker to add details to your paper pieces {like window pane lines, a doorknob on the door, bricks on the chimney etc.}
- Once you have ALL your paper pieces complete and cut out, go ahead and now glue/staple all of them in place on the paper plate. I would highly suggest starting with the greenery “roof” on top of the paper plate and working down from there.
