I was looking on google last night for inspiration for today’s craft. In all honesty, I probably could have saved this one for November (for Thanksgiving) but I wanted to do something different with the beads we have. So, harvest corn it is! In retrospect, I probably should have made the husks a dark yellow in stead of green, but… oh well! A 3-year-old doesn’t really care. She had fun making a mess out of the beads!
Materials: Tissue Paper, glue, a piece of cardstock, beads of varying colors, and scissors to cut the tissue paper.

(BTW, somebody commented on my FB that I put her in that dress on purpose for pics – I didn’t! As you can tell from previous posts, she’s rarely dressed up nicely with her hair done. She was just playing dress up this morning.)
Zipping me back in time it seems like yesterday!
What a great craft!
