Directions
Start by downloading and printing the template. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this carrot to life!
Now give your kids an orange marker and let them add a few short lines along the sides—just like the little ridges you’d see on a real carrot.
It’s time to give our carrot some personality! Grab the two eye pieces and glue them below the eyebrows.
Next, guide your little one to glue the mouth just below the eyes.
Now let’s make that smile even more playful! Take the tongue piece and glue it right inside the mouth.
Grab the two pink cheek pieces and stick them on either side of the mouth. It’s a tiny detail, but it really gives your carrot an extra dose of cuteness!
Finally, help your child glue the green leafy piece onto the small oval marking at the top of the egg. And just like that, your adorable egg-shaped carrot is all done!
