Carrot gnome

For cooking we need:

• Medium carrots – 1 pc.
• Colored paper
• Sharp scissors
• Toothpicks (you can take matches)
• Multi-colored markers (or good paints)
• Knife

Step by step process:

• First, let's cut out the parts that are needed to make the gnome. We cut off the tip - then we will make a headdress out of it - a hat. We cut off 2 rings from the top - these will be our palms
• Next, we cut off 3 rings from the bottom of the carrot - these are blanks for making the gnome's limbs - legs and head. As a result, we are left with the middle of the carrot - the body
• Let's start connecting our blanks - body parts. We insert a couple of matches or toothpicks into the bottom of our body directly parallel to one another
• We put leg blanks on the sharp ends of matches/toothpicks. We make hands from toothpicks and attach the palms directly to them. In addition, you can make fingers from toothpicks
• We attach the neck to the top of the body (we will use a toothpick as the neck), attach the head to it
• Headdress - a cap made from the last piece of our carrot, we attach it to the head (a match will help us with this)
• Carefully cut out the clothes (vest) from colored paper and put them in place
• Don't forget to draw a face

Carrot Pirate

To create this masterpiece we will need:

• 1 large carrot
• balloon – 1 pc.
• cardboard
• colored paper
• colorful paints
• corn silk (thicker threads will also work)
• stationery knife

Manufacturing process:

• First, we will peel the carrots: cut off the bottom of the carrots with a utility knife. We cut out the nose from this part (choose a shape: rectangle, circle, square), then place it on part of a toothpick, place it in a groove (socket) made in advance for this purpose on the face of the carrot pirate
• Let's make teeth and a mouth using a knife: we make a long horizontal line-notch and many shorter vertical ones, located perpendicularly along the length. In addition, we will make one eye
• Now it's time for the hair and, of course, the headdress. We cut the balloon and stretch it. Under an imaginary cap we fasten the hair, which will be made from corn threads
• We attach the eye patch that we cut out of colored paper in the same way. We cut out 2 triangles from paper, glue them together (while leaving the bases. The result is a “cocked hat” type hat
• We put the hat on top of the ball directly on the pirate’s head (if desired, draw a skull and crossbones on the hat for realism)
• Now we start decorating: draw the teeth, mouth (draw lips along the contour of the teeth) and eyes
• And finally, the last detail. Cut out a dagger from cardboard, paint it, insert it into the pirate’s mouth (between the teeth)

Merry hare made from large carrots

• First, make a cut at the wide side of the carrot to give stability.
• On the other hand, we construct long bunny ears by making a cut in the middle
• Eyes, a nose and a smile with two teeth can be made from almost any material at hand. The material can be peppers, seeds, beads, olives
• We create a beautiful hairstyle using parsley, dill or carrot tops, placing it between the bunny’s ears

Carrot man

You can create a gnome in a cap.

• To begin with, the main details are cut out - the head, torso, legs and palms. We make the legs from flat and round pieces of carrots (for stability)
• We fasten the parts together with toothpicks, and create clothes and a headdress from the material we like - colored paper or foil

carrot flowers

For a romantic event, carrot flowers will come in handy - beautiful and original. Let's start with a simplified version:

• Cut the carrots into regular flat circles
• We take the widest circle, form the base of our bouquet, then stick in the required number of toothpicks
• Now it’s the turn of the remaining carrot circles: using a knife, cut out the flowers of the shape you like
• We string them on the tip of toothpicks. To enhance the effect, we can decorate the flower with greenery

Funny carrot giraffe

• Stick 4 matches into the wide edge of the carrot
• We find the narrow part at the top and carefully cut it on one side, marking the head, on the other side, make a second cut - the mouth
• We create eyes and ears for our giraffe from plasticine
• We stick a couple of matches in place of the horns (a giraffe has from 2 to 5 horns)
• We put a few blades of grass in the giraffe’s mouth (he seems to be hungry, but now he’s eating breakfast)

When studying a topic about vegetables and fruits with your child, you can use the origami technique. In just 5-10 minutes you will have such a wonderful, delicious carrot. But if you have several times more free time, you can make several vegetables or fruits that you love.

• Single-sided sheet of paper 10.5 x 15 cm orange
• Double-sided sheet of paper 10.5 x 7.5 cm green

Step-by-step photo lesson:

To create a carrot, take an orange sheet of paper 10.5 x 15 cm, colored only on one side. Bend the lower left corner to the very top point of the rectangle.

Use scissors to remove the unnecessary part of the rectangle on the right side and get a square folded in half diagonally.

We open. Fold the lower left corner to the resulting fold.

Then bend the upper right corner to the same line. Gradually the general shape of the carrot begins to emerge.

To make the top of the carrot not sharp, but blunt, bend the upper central corner down to the line of the beginning of the two large corners.

Then we will form a smoother silhouette of the carrot. To do this, bend the left corner slightly towards the middle.

The same must be done on the right side so that they are the same.

We turn it over and get the finished general silhouette of a carrot. If necessary, you can go over the folds again.

Now let's start creating the green pods coming from the top of the carrot. To do this, you need to take a green rectangle and bend its lower left corner up.

Cut out the right side with scissors.

We get a square folded in half. Turn it over.

Bend in half.

We open it and a vertical line appears in the very middle from the lower central corner to the very top point.

Bend the left corner to the resulting line.

Glue the greens to the top of the carrot from the back side. The paper origami carrot is ready.

At the annual traditional New Year celebrations, our beloved children are recommended to attend in some kind of costume. Well, mom has to decide which costume to choose for her beloved child and where to get it. Of course, the easiest option is to buy a ready-made carnival outfit or rent it. But since real needlewomen don’t look for simple ways, we suggest you create it yourself, for example, sew a children’s carrot costume.

How to make a carrot costume with your own hands for a girl?

Agree that a version of a carrot costume for a girl must definitely have a skirt. Does anything look more elegant than bright and fluffy? And, by the way, you don’t even need a sewing machine to create it. So, stock up:

• a piece of orange tulle 2-2.5 m long;
• wide elastic band 2-3 cm wide;
• scissors;
• thread and needle.

The heaviest part of the costume is ready.

The skirt can be additionally decorated with a bow or a layer of opaque fabric.

For the top of the suit, you just need to choose an orange or green T-shirt or golf. If there are inscriptions or a drawing in front, they can be covered with an appliqué in the shape of a carrot.

It’s easy to use the girl’s existing one as a headdress. You need to attach a carrot made of colored paper or fabric to it.

It is not difficult to make an orange hat from a rectangular piece of orange fabric, gathered with an elastic band. We decorate the upper part of the headdress with “tops” made of green material.

How to sew a carrot costume for a boy?

If you have a son, then his carnival costume will consist of an apron depicting a carrot. So, prepare:

• orange satin 1.5 m long;
• padding polyester – 1.5 m;
• a piece of fleece or felt 20 cm long;
• Velcro;
• orange satin braid 2 cm wide.

The carrot apron is ready! If desired, decorate the front of the costume with zigzag stripes of brown thread characteristic of the vegetable.

All that remains is to create a hat for the boy’s carrot costume. We sew it from a rectangle measuring 50x20 cm, which is first lined with padding polyester and decorated with brown zigzag stripes. We close the rectangle into a cylinder by sewing the short sides together. The top edge of the hat needs to be gathered and sewn, and the bottom edge needs to be folded and machined. We decorate the resulting hat with tops made from felt or fleece strips.

So the carrot suit for the boy is ready!
