These darling carrots are filled with prizes and goodies! We made them for our cousins and friends this year for an Easter treat. I saw the idea in a magazine somewhere and then did my own thing with stuff we had.
First we gathered small prizes and candies, plastic rings and bracelets, little yoyo's and tops, plastic snakes and lizards all fun things little.
Then we cut yellow and orange tissue in strips. This would have probably worked a little easier to use crete paper because it tightens but we had lots of tissue left over from a few years ago when we made candy filled pumpkins and we are really into using up what we have. :) We also cut green crete paper into carrot tops. We very unprofessionally eyeballed it, I don't think you can go wrong here as long as you have long green grassy type pieces.
Next I started at the top and placed little candies inside and wrapped around them. I put the long skinny toys in the bottom and then the rounder things in the top. I started wrapping around an item and then kept wrapping adding toys and candies into the layers. I tucked the end under a layer of tissue and then glue gunned the green on the top.
They were a HUGE hit! The kids loved breaking them open and finding all the fun treasure.
