Step 1: Download and Print the Free Carrot Craft Templates
Download the Free Carrot Template Printable. The PDF file contains everything you need to make enough carrots to fill a whole field.
Step 2: Cut Out the Carrot Craft Shapes
Print the carrot template printables. You will be stapling them to colored paper and cutting out as many shapes as you need.
If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.
So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.
Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.
Tip: While you’re cutting, if you cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left.
Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together.
Step 3: How to Assemble
The kids will just need to glue it all together and make it their own.
- The top leaf of the carrot has a long step. This is where you add the glue.
- Glue the the carrot top to the BACK of the orange carrot cone shape.
- Optional: Use markers or crayons to draw lines on once side of the carrot piece to add detail.
- Don’t forget to put your name on the back.
