Last week our Little hands were busy making this Corn Craft. So simple to make with the available materials at hand and sure this would be a super hit with your kids. A great activity to be a part of the 'Busy Hands Series'. I want to post this craft before the fall season comes to an end, as in our place already the duration of daylight is getting noticeably shorter.
Materials used:
- Split Yellow Peas (for the kernels)
- Construction Paper - Preferably Green, Yellow and White
- White Glue and Glue stick
- Scissors, Pencil
First, roughly draw elongated shape on the yellow and white paper for the corn kernels and the husk. Now glue the yellow piece on the center of the green paper. Make a slit in the middle of white paper half way through and bend both the parts outwards as shown in the pic.
Glue it over the yellow kernel part. You can also make this husk part with the green paper and use the white paper for Background. It might look more attractive.
And now all the paper work is over. Till this part I made and LO did rest of the work. Mean while LO was busy arranging the beans around the yellow corn. Truly this is a fine motor activity.
Apply the white glue and spread the yellow split peas over it.
Have a try and let me know how the kids enjoyed it.
Add-on ideas:
- You can discuss about the fall season, the harvests and the Thanksgiving day.
- Discuss parts of the corn like kernels and husk.
Happy Parenting😊
