Carrot Candy Cones

Easter is on Sunday! Although it is important to remember that it is really about Jesus, I love any excuse to give or create a gift; so I love Easter baskets! I adapted a fun craft from “Emma Owl” that is VERY SIMPLE and a very cute addition to your Easter baskets this year!

Carrot Candy Cones do not require many items except for some simple household items and your favorite Easter treats. In our home, our favorite holiday (especially Easter) chocolates and treats have always come from See’s Candies from as far back as I can remember. I loved finding a craft to combine with my favorite chocolates 🙂 And, this is definitely a craft that kids can help with, too!

What You Need:

Construction Paper – Orange and Green

Tape

Scissors

Stapler (optional)

Your favorite Easter chocolates or treats

What To Do:

Carrot Candy Cones can be made in a large size or small size. For the large size, you will use a whole 8.5×11 orange sheet. For the small size, cut a 8.5×11 paper in half. Take the short edge and roll toward the long edge to create the cone. Tape at the outside corner.

Cut small pieces of the green paper to create the stem. Tape the pieces together at the bottom and then tape the stem to the top of the carrot.

Fill with your favorite treat! If your treat is too small for the opening, put a small piece of tissue paper at the bottom before filling. After placing the tissue at the bottom you can also line the carrot with a ziplock bag (with the zipper cut off). The last option is to put additional tissue in the carrot to not have to fill it with as many treats (the large carrots can hold a lot of chocolates!)

Place in Easter baskets or give as little Easter treats to friends that you see this week!
