First, trace your child’s hand onto a yellow piece of paper and cut it out. Guide your child to draw the corn texture around the handprint with a marker.

Next, help your child glue the eyes to the center of the handprint.

Now, encourage your child to draw a smile in between and just below the eyes.

Position the husk on one side of the corn handprint and glue it in place. Repeat with the other side.
