We have already been to the farm this harvest season for a combine ride. The kids have a blast seeing the combine suck up those golden corn stocks through the field. Then a sight to see is to watch the kernels being transferred over to into the wagon before it makes its way to the elevator.
To celebrate harvest season, we decided to make some corn stalks all our very own. Then we shucked some of our own ears to see the yellow dried kernels inside.
Supplies
Bubble Wrap
Yellow Washable Finger Paint
Green Construction Paper or Tissue Paper
Paper Towel Roll
Glue
Instructions
To make corn stalks, brush washable yellow paint over the paper towel roll. Let dry and then glue green leaves to the sides of the roll. To make corn on the cob squirt yellow washable finger paint on top of the bubble wrap (bubbles facing up). Roll the paper towel roll around for 3-D kernel effect. Let dry and then glue green leaves at the base of the corn.
Decorate your own house with corn stalks hanging on the walls and cobs of corn in a basket for a table center piece.
