Notes
- Use sturdy paper. Cardstock or construction paper holds its shape better than thin printer paper, especially when layering multiple cutouts.
- Trace on the backside of the paper. This keeps pencil marks hidden once everything is cut and assembled.
- Help younger kids with tracing. Small hands tend to wiggle, so gently hold their wrists or trace for them to get a clean outline.
- Pre-cut pieces for toddlers. For the youngest crafters, you can trace their hands/feet ahead of time so they just focus on gluing and assembling.
- Turn this corn craft into a fall decoration. Display on the fridge using an adhesive magnet , make a banner for Thanksgiving, or mount it on colored cardstock for a classroom bulletin board. You can also turn your craft into an ornament by taping a small, loop of ribbon to the top of your paper corn for hanging.
