Thanksgiving Crafts For Kids: Popsicle Stick Corn

Even if your favorite Thanksgiving side isn't corn, you'll still have fun creating this DIY. The finished craft can be used as a coaster or trivet, or you can add a magnet to the back and display it proudly on the refrigerator.

What you'll need:

• Popsicle sticks
• School glue
• Yellow craft paint
• Paintbrush
• Black craft paint
• Brown card stock
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Green card stock

Instructions:

1. Place three (or more, depending on how large you'd like your corn to be) popsicle sticks side by side and glue them together.

2. Lay two popsicle sticks across the back of the sticks, one near the top and one near the bottom. Secure to the back with glue. Allow the glue to dry.

3. Using the yellow paint and paintbrush, paint the popsicle sticks. Allow the paint to dry.

4. Using the black paint and paintbrush, add black lines down the center of the sticks and across the sticks. Allow the paint to dry.

5. Using a pencil, trace your kid's hand onto the brown card stock. Cut out.

6. Glue the brown card stock hand onto the back of the corn. Allow the glue to dry.

7. Cut a teardrop-shape from the green card stock, making sure the teardrop is larger than the corn popsicle sticks.

8. Glue the corn on top of the teardrop shape. Allow the glue to dry.
