This carrot paper plate craft is an adorable spring craft for kids! Using construction paper and a paper plate, kids will create an interactive craft to play with! Kids will love “planting” and “harvesting” the carrots with the easy spring craft. It’s perfect for spring, Easter, rainy days, and gardening lessons!

I love to pair this paper plate craft with this carrot patch sensory bin. And, if I want a whole carrot themed-day, I make this carrot veggie pizza and these carrot cake jars. My kids love themed-days because it makes it more fun and magical!

4. Create the Garden Soil
Cut a brown half-circle the same size as the paper plate. Glue it onto the bottom half of the plate to look like dirt.

5. Plant Your Carrots
Tuck the carrots behind the brown paper so only the tops (and a little carrot) peek out like they’re growing in the ground.
