Not only do I enjoy eating carrots, but one of my favorite pairs of Easter earrings are a light weight paper Mache version of this vegetable. So today’s activity are ways to make a variety of carrots so you can have some very interesting decorations for Easter.
Carrot Napkins: Turn a large orange dinner napkin into a carrot: Fold the napkin into a triangle. Place silverware (can use green plastic utensils) in the corner and roll up in a carrot shape. Tie it off using green pipe cleaners. If you use different shades of green pipe cleaners, it will look a bit more leafy.
Clay carrots: Use can use polymer clay, play dough, or some other clay that will either dry hard or can be baked. Make a little worm shape and form the carrot. You can make the lines, if you choose, using dental floss or thread. If using a light weight clay, these can be turned into pins and earrings.
