 The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss *
Carrot Soup by John Segal *

Craft: Carrot Matching Picture
Children matched orange shapes to a sheet to make carrots.  The template can be found at http://sweetlittlepeanut.com/editorial/holiday/carrot-shapes-printable-easter-art/

Literacy Activities:
- See how many orange items your child can list.
- Plant a carrot top.  Cut off the top of the carrot and trim away the leaves.  Place the carrot top in a small container on top of a layer of pebbles.  Let your child pour water in up to the carrot.  Wait for it to start to grow roots and then transplant to dirt.
