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

Save one half of the paper plate for today's craft and the other for a rainy day!

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!!!
