Our kids have inherited the love of sweet corn. Unfortunately, our small garden limits the amount of vegetables we can grow in our backyard and sweet corn does not make the cut. That will not stop us from enjoying it though. In anticipation of sweet corn time, we have made this sweet corn craft that incorporates another one of our favorites…painting.

If you have spent much time on Ava’s Alphabet, you probably know that I do love a good hand or footprint project. I was inspired to try making some other vegetable prints using both hand and footprints. Ava was all for it! We decided to make carrots, corn, peas and tomatoes to add to our artwork garden.

This week we are sharing a C is for Carrot handprint art ! This craft is great for kindergartners as they learn the letter C. This craft uses jut a few colors of paint and supplies to make a super cute carrot handprint. The kids think it’s a lot of fun to see how their handprint can look like a carrot! For this craft, we will make a green handprint to make the top of the carrot, and then paint the rest of it with orange paint to make the “body” of the carrot.

Looking to make vegetables more popular in your house? This craft can help. Kids get to experiment with color mixing, how much paint to use, and making patterns. Serve a side of clean veggies as a snack afterward, asking kids to look closely at the pieces and compare them to the shapes in the prints they made.
