The idea of the preparatory stage is an interactive conversation about carrots and its benefits. Let the child describe the vegetable, what color it is, its shape, what its components are, differences from other vegetables. And the main question is how he imagines a carrot suit.

I dazzled him of what was ...

As a result, the child himself will say that the carrot costume needs two basic colors: an orange bottom to make a rhizome, and a green top.

Surely in the girl's wardrobe there will be things of this color: an orange dress, a sarafan or a skirt and a green blouse, a hat, a scarf, a scarf, a bow. All this, including imagination, can be used in the preparation of a suit.

Bottom of the suit

To make the bottom of the costume, that is, the very root, you can use any shape. You can leave the existing outfit unchanged or trim it with a red, yellow or orange garland.

Foam can serve as the basis of a three-dimensional suit. From the piece of the desired size along the length and width, the cone-shaped bottom of the carrot is made.

On top you can put a sewn fabric or lush skirt, sarafan or cloak to full length. From below, you can insert an elastic band and pull it off a bit. Or the fabric from below is cut off from both sides by a wedge, similar to the root of a vegetable.

Miracle material foam rubber

Foam - an excellent material for making the basis of the costume. An important step in the work is the correct cut of the material. It is important that the cutting site is perfectly flat at the right angle.

For gluing the universal glue "Moment-1" is suitable. Wipe both sides, give 5-7 minutes to dry, and then lightly squeeze and twist, so that the glue is evenly distributed and grabbed. You need to do everything quickly and accurately.

Work on gluing foam should be done by an adult, so as not to harm the health of the baby.

Will only cover the costume with a cloth.

Green leaves

Everyone looks at sweets.

Then you will be healthy and strong!
