Why Kids Love This Corn on the Cob
The ear is covered in rows of round kernels – perfect for coloring one by one or trying out color patterns. Its long husks are folded outward like it’s slipping out of a jacket, and it’s grinning with big eyes and rosy cheeks. Behind it stand a picket fence and a barn with a cupola, windows and hay in the loft. The mix of big shapes and lots of little kernels is just right for kids ages 5 and up.

All About Corn on the Cob
Every single kernel of corn is a seed that could grow into a whole plant. While the ear ripens on the stalk, it’s wrapped up safe in green husks. Fine threads called silk poke out the top, and each kernel has its own strand. For corn on the cob, farmers pick sweet corn while the kernels are still soft and sweet. Popcorn comes from a special kind of corn whose kernels burst open when heated.
What to Do with Your Finished Corn
Glue a tiny yellow paper square or an unpopped popcorn kernel onto each kernel for a fun mosaic. Or set up a fall table with your colored corn in the middle and real corn and leaves around it.
