Here are some simple steps for this craft:

  1. Gather some dried corn husks from a pumpkin patch, or tear up some green, tan or brown construction paper.

  2. Print a picture of Indian corn like the one here on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flint_corn#/media/File:Corncobs.jpg

  3. Choose paints based on the colors you and the kids find in the picture and add them to a palette. If you don’t have a palette, check your recycle bin. Plastic lids from canisters and containers work great as palettes!

  4. Using either fingertips or q-tips, kids can dip and paint corn kernels on the printable guide downloadable below  (print on cardstock if you’ve got it), or have them draw a corn cob on a white piece of paper first if you don’t want to use the printable. Have a package of wet wipes or paper towels handy to clean fingertips between dips!
