Download the Free Corn Template Printable. The PDF file contains everything you need to make enough Corn Cobs to fill a Corn Maze.
Step 2: Cut Out the Corn Craft Shapes
Print the corn template printables. You will be stapling them to colored paper and cutting out as many shapes as you need.
If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.
So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.
Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.
Tip: While you’re cutting, if you cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left.
Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together.
Step 3: How to Assemble
The kids will just need to glue it all together and make it their own.
- Glue the first leaf BEHIND the yellow corn cob.
- Glue the second leaf in front of the cob. These leaves make the corn’s husks.
- Optional: Use a marker to draw a lot of little letter “m”s on your cob to make it look like corn kernels.
- Don’t forget to put your name on the back.
Step 1: Glue the first leaf BEHIND the yellow corn cob.
step 2: Glue the second leaf in front of the cob. These leaves make the corn husk.
Step 3: Optional: Use markers or crayons to draw a lot of little letter “m”s on your cob to make it look like corn kernels.
And you’re finished.
This is such a fun and easy Pre-K corn craft. You can make this Paper corn craft for young kids, toddlers and as a Letter C craft.
This craft is super easy for preschoolers, Kindergarteners, Daycare, or just a fun craft at home idea.
