Directions
- Children should pick colors for their first ear of corn. When choosing colors it is best to pick 2 different colors for each ear of corn.
- Using the end of their index finger or the end of a pencil eraser, dip into paint and dot on the first ear of corn. Pick second color and repeat. It is okay to overlap the colors and go beyond the outside lines.
- Repeat with other ears of corn.
- Take three corn husks and wrinkle them between your hands. Unroll them. Overlap the three at one end gluing to secure.
- Once dry, cut out your corn ears.
- Glue the husks to the back of the Indian corn.
- Tie raffia in a bow and glue to the front.
