Here is an easy Thanksgiving craft to enjoy with all ages of children.
You will need:
Yellow or orange card
Green paper
Popping corn
PVA / White glue
Instructions:
Cut an oval shape from yellow card to be your ear of corn. Glue popping corn all over the card.
Cut two leaf shapes from green paper. Put a dab of glue at the bottom of each. Glue half of them to the back of your ear of corn, fold each in half and glue to the front of your ear of corn.
Use this fun bubble wrap printing technique to make a corn on the cob picture. Perfect for Harvest Festival, Thanksgiving, Kwanzaa or perhaps a farming or food theme.
Make this corn on the cob fuse bead design using two shades of yellow (or orange) for the corn, and two shades of green for the outer leaves. It makes a fun badge or "pin" or table decoration, and looks great in a Thanksgiving mobile, too.
Instead of potato printing with your kids, why not try your hand at these apple prints? Experiment with different types of apple and you might find some surprises: did you know that in some apples a star shape is formed when you cut through the centre of the apple perpendicular to the core?
