CoRnY!!!!

I decided to have the kids make Corn Cobs today for a Fall project.
I was trying to think of ways to get the kernel-y effect when I remembered the Oogie Boogie's we made.
Here are the supplies we used: 3 colors of paint, yellow & green construction paper, glue, bubble wrap, pipe cleaner, paint brush and scissors.

First, we cut the Corn Cob out of the construction paper.
I eyeball everything. You can trace and then cut if necessary.
 

Next, we cut a piece of bubble wrap and spread the 3 colors of paint on it like so.
Gently pat the yellow Corn part with the paint, turning it different ways, layering the colors.
 

Glue it all together.
Lastly, cut the pipe cleaners and stick on to the leaves for a 3D effect.
It would look really cool with raffia on it as the little stringy things.
 
One of our Corn Cobs is finished.
I couldn't find the picture of it dry in my folders. *Sheesh, I really need to organize my files!*

Loved this! It's so hard to think of Thanksgiving decorations other than turkeys.

Soon I need to go through your blog for fun ideas to keep Caleb entertained this winter. This is a neat project. I'd be tempted to pop the bubble wrap.

I had this same idea yesterday but couldn't find any bubble wrap! Yours turned out very cute.

What a great idea! It's going on my list of things to do with Bear.
