Here's a fun project for Purim or any time! How about making some giant cardboard carrots with the kids and then making some wearable bunny ears as well for a cute but simple costume. (Bunny ears not shown, you'll have to use your imagination for that one!)
You'll Need:
- orange crepe paper
- green crepe paper (I used metallic, but regular green crepe paper is fine)
- bristol board
- white glue
How To:
Cut out a large carrot shape from bristol and apply strips of crepe paper vertically by brushing watered-down glue onto the carrot shape and carefully laying the crepe paper in the glue, and smoothing with fingers. Crepe paper can run off the edges and then trim once carrot is dry. Make the carrot tops from green crepe paper and you've got yourself a cute decoration or an element for a costume.
While you are at it, it sure would be fun to make some other giant vegetables as well. How about red peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants? Enjoy!
