15 Cute Carrot Crafts for Kids
You don’t have to be a bunny to love carrots – or carrot crafts! Here are some Cute Carrot Crafts for Kids of all ages to make and enjoy!
It’s spring, which is also a time for fresh fruit and vegetables as well as harvest festivals and holidays like Easter. One thing you’ll find common in all these is the humble carrot, making it quite a popular vegetable!
Maybe that’s why International Carrot Day also falls during this time, on the 4th of April. But what’s the connection with Easter? Well, during Easter, we have bunnies hopping around, so it is believed that kids used to leave out carrots for them in case they got hungry. Since then, the carrot has become an icon of the season!
If you love carrots too, you’re going to enjoy today’s list of cute carrot crafts for kids. We’re making carrots out of basic craft supplies like craft paper, so you can get started right away!
