We’re always all on the lookout for simple and fun crafts 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 perfect for working on fine motor skills, providing a background to learn new fall vocabulary, and learning to work with glue.

Watch our video tutorial or read the detailed directions below to see how to make this great craft with your preschoolers, pre-k, and kindergarten children this fall!

Supplies

• Colored cardstock or construction paper

• Glue stick or liquid glue
• Scissors
• Light orange marker
• Corn template (click the “click here to get this freebie” image at the end to open the form)

Directions

Download the sweet corn template, print, and cut out the pieces. There’s a bubble corn shape that looks more realistic (but is harder to cut for little kids) or a simplified corn cob shape for younger kids.

Glue the eyes in the middle of the corn cob, right above the smile.

Glue the left corn husk on first, then the right husk piece.

Take the light orange marker and make some bubble marks all over the open parts of the corn cob – these represent the corn kernels.

That’s it! Can you believe how cute this simple craft is? It’s perfect for little kids! Check out some of our fall worksheets while you’re here!

Fall Crafts For Kids

Crafting is a fun and educational activity for little kids!

Crafting helps kids develop fine motor skills. Cutting, gluing and painting all require precise hand movements and hand-eye coordination, which kids can practice and perfect through crafting.

It also helps kids learn how to follow instructions and be patient. Many kids crafts require them to complete steps in a certain order, which can develop sequencing skills. Finally, crafting is also a great way for kids to express their creativity! They can experiment with different colors, textures, and materials to create something that’s uniquely their own.

We have tons of easy fall crafts that older and younger children can enjoy. Each craft has step-by-step instructions and only requires basic materials you likely have at home! Add in some of these fun craft ideas this fall season:
