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. Don’t forget to download our free corn craft template to get started!

Directions

Start by downloading the corn template and printing it out. Once you have the template printed, gather the materials needed for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this corn to life!

First, guide your child to glue the eyes in the middle of the corn cob, right above the smile.

Next, encourage your child to glue the left corn husk on first, then the right husk piece.

Finally, help your child take the light orange marker and make some vertical wavy 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 project is? It’s perfect for little kids and works well with any other corn ideas you may have! Check out some of our fall crafts while you’re here!
