7 Fun Ideas to Use Carrot Pages
Your children’s creativity will shine as they color these beautiful carrot printables. But once your coloring is done, you don’t have to stop there! You’ll find lots of fun ways to turn these prints into decorations, games, learning tools, and even handmade gifts, without requiring any expensive items.
1. Make a Vegetable Garden Diorama
Have kids color these carrots on a printout. They will need to be given time to draw all sorts of things—brown soil, green leaves, etc., and maybe even some nice skies!
Then, from a second copy, you can cut out the various vegetables and other objects. You should leave a small tab under them so that when folded over, the pieces will stick into the box, keeping the veggies standing straight! We used a variety of seeds but made sure they had good spacing between them.
If possible, try to find little details like moles peeping up from underneath to look at their roots, or maybe even include a snail trying its luck along the leafy tops.
The completed diorama can then become an attractive display for your class’s science lesson on plants and/or farming. It would work especially well if you’re studying root vegetables like this.
2. Create Carrot Harvest Puzzles
Your little learner will be busy putting together a whole scene featuring carrots! Print out different versions of the carrot illustration for your child to color in first (a basket full of harvested roots, a wheelbarrow loaded for an adventure, or even a farmer’s market crate). Then mount them on some thin cardboard and cut around the puzzle shapes.
For young children draw larger puzzle shapes on the back side; use small ones for older kids. You can also label each puzzle piece by placing a number on one edge that matches the same number on another. This allows preschoolers to match up both sides as they put their scene together!
3. Design a Carrot Fact Booklet
Choose 4-5 of your favorite carrot coloring sheets to display the vegetable in many forms (whole roots, cross sections, sliced rounds, grated, and even some growing in loose soil). Then after coloring each sheet you’ll encourage your child to write down 1 fun little fact beneath the picture — like where carrots grow, what color varieties are available, and/or how we use them when making soups and snacks!
After your kid has colored all their pages simply stack up your finished product then punch two holes on the sides before tying everything up with a piece of yarn. We chose a realistic carrot drawing for our own project but if yours would fit better into a lunchbox or you’re planning a snack party full of hummus then go for it!
4. Turn the Pictures into Kitchen Art
Add a carrot coloring page with a soup pot, cutting board, stew bowl, or some vegetable slices. You could even make colorings of various pieces of vegetables, for example grated carrots next to peas, potatoes, radishes, and leafy tops, then stick them all up on your kitchen wall.
Frame your carrot colors with warm orange and green tones, but you might want to just staple them into sheets of colored construction paper first. When we’ve done that, we’ll usually put them under an inexpensive frame where they’re easily hung on the walls.
Also write your kids’ names and dates on their artworks’ backs when framing. And you can do more than just print out carrot coloring pages – there’s no reason you can’t get creative with other veggies too! Laminate the completed carrot art (or use clear adhesive film) to help guard against inevitable splashes and sticky little fingers in a busy kitchen.
5. Craft Garden Gift Tags
The carrot that’s been tied up with some garden twine looks really nice when colored in, but you might want your kids color this one in first as well! Or maybe they’d prefer to use the hedgehog who carries the produce? A little character sailing a leafy boat also looks cute!
To make these carrot coloring printable gift tags just cut out around the picture then glue it down on some card stock. You can punch a hole at the top (as close to the top as possible), put a piece of green ribbons or even natural twine through the hole and then write ‘To’ & ‘From’ on the back.
You could add a few of them to a bag of seeds for a fun gift! We’re thinking they would look good along side some gardening gifts or inside an Easter basket. Oh and you could easily pop one in there to get all the kiddos to show off what they colored!
You can print our best carrot coloring page and color with your favorite crayons! It’s time for you to be creative!
