Keep the kids entertained this upcoming spring season with today’s Popsicle Stick Carrot Stand kid craft idea! It’s super unique and another first-seen-here idea for us!

Inspired by a craft foam veggie stand craft kit I recently saw at my local Michaels store, I decided to take my original “lemonade stand” kid craft tutorial and alter it a bit for an EASTER theme. Perfect for any little “bunny” to stand at!

All you need is few basic jumbo wood craft sticks, a glue gun, cardstock and maybe even a few Easter themed stickers if you like. That’s it! Super simple materials that anyone can obtain this time of year.

Our unique spring themed DIY is super easy to recreate and sure to bring TONS of craftiness to your child’s fingertips. You can find ALL the details you need to know, along with more details on the supplies, in the full tutorial below. You could even turn the finished craft stick carrot stand piece into a picture frame if you like! Just adhere a small picture in the opening of the wood stick shape and hot glue some magnets to the back for easy displaying on the fridge. Super fun stuff and I hope we inspired you today!!

Well – I’ll let you get to it. Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us of your wood stick veggie stand creations on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see! I can’t wait to see how you customize your pieces!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Carrot Stand Craft Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {six per carrot stand craft}
* Hot Glue Gun
* optional – Craft Paint/Paint Brushes
* Kid Friendly Scissors
* Various Colors of Cardstock
* Colored Markers
* Easter Cupcake Toppers/Stickers {I found mine at Michaels!}

Directions:

* First get the glue gun hot and ready!
* Glue together the base of your carrot stand. You will need SIX jumbo popsicle sticks per craft. The best way I explain this step, is to make a fence but with a large gap in between. Please use my picture above for example.
* Once you have your popsicle stick shape piece assembled, set aside to let it dry completely.
* While that is drying, go ahead and cut out embellishments from your various sheets of cardstock to give your piece that one-of-a-kind look. For mine, I did a small rectangle sign to pull the theme together and then I cut off the toothpick section from my premade cupcake toppers. You HOWEVER can cut some triangle carrots from orange cardstock and a small bunny from white, instead of premade or buy them from Michaels like I did.
* Use markers to draw on dimension to your paper pieces and add the words to the sign.
* The next step is completely optional and won’t affect the outcome of the craft. I personally liked the raw craft sticks but you might like some color! Squirt your choice of color in craft paint on a paper plate.
* Paint your assembled popsicle stick shape however you like. Allow the paint to dry a bit before you move on to the next step.
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Carrot Veggie Stand – hot glue your cardstock pieces from earlier and any other touches to the front of your wood shape. The carrots/sign on the front and the bunny on the back/center.
* Follow that up by adding small stickers and/or other embellishments to customize it.
* Adhere a picture and/or add magnets to the back if desired.
* Then set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
