We’re always all on the lookout for simple and fun craft for young kids to make.
With fall right around the corner, we realized we don’t have many non-Halloween fall crafts! Because of that, we made this easy corn craft for preschoolers.
It’s cute, simple and easy for little hands to make all by themselves!
Besides providing some fun, hands-on entertainment, this craft is great for working on fine motor skills, providing a background to learn new fall vocabulary and for learning to work with glue.
Watch our video tutorial or read the detailed direction below to see how to make this craft with your preschoolers, pre-k and kindergarten children this fall!

Directions
Download the corn template, print, and cut out the pieces. There is a bubble-shaped corn that looks more realistic (but is harder to cut for little kids) or a simplified version for the youngest kids.
Glue the eyes in the middle of the corn cob, right above the smile.
Glue the left husk on first, then the right husk.
Take the light orange marker and make some corn bubble marks all over the open parts of the corn cob.
That’s it!
Can you believe how easy and cute this craft is? It’s perfect for little kids!
How To Create A Fall Preschool Study Unit
More and more we receive emails from parents asking if we have related content to make a preschool study unit.
Because of this, we are sharing all of our favorite fall preschool ideas to help you get started!
First of all, be sure to check out all of the fun fall craft ideas we have. It’s amazing how much kids can learn by crafting!
Not only by working the small muscles in their hands, but also by using the topic as a springboard for fall vocabulary, story telling and questions.
Some of our favorite fall-themed crafts include this handprint apple tree, this crow craft, and this paper plate hedgehog.
All of these crafts use common supplies so you won’t need to get anything special prepared ahead of time!
Besides crafts, we also love fun and interactive style learning printables like these fall preschool printables.
They help kids work on counting, patterns, graphing, fine motor skills, alphabet recognition and more!
We also enjoy using these fall color by sight word worksheets for kids who are up for a challenge!
Putting together a quick and fun fall sensory bin is also a great idea to help kids process what they’re learning and have open-ended playtime.
If your child likes playing with sensory bottles, they’ll be mesmerized by this glittery fall leaves sensory bottle.
Finish up this fall preschool unit in the kitchen when you make these pumpkin rice crispy treats! There’s so many opportunities for kids to learn while cooking and baking!
