15 Cute and Colorful Corn Crafts for Fall
Enjoy the season with these cute and colorful corn crafts for fall! There are projects for kids of all ages, from toddlers to teens!
When it comes to produce, we can easily identify the plants that give us our favorite fruits and vegetables, like the mango tree, or the tomato plant. We mostly take the fruit of the plant, cook it or eat it and forget all about it. But what if the plant gave you something that could be converted into many other things? One such plant is maize or corn, also known as Indian corn – super popular during Fall!
Corn is a common plant based food used around the globe – in fact, it is the third largest in the world! Not surprising, since corn is rich in fiber and antioxidants, and it can be turned into many edibles – corn flakes, corn flour, corn meal and of course, pop corn!
Besides food, the corn plant is also useful in other areas; for instance, corn oil is used in making paint, ink and soap. The stalks of the plant can be turned into paper, and corn-based plastics are becoming increasingly popular as a greener and biodegradable alternative to traditional plastic.
With the United States being the world’s largest producer of corn, corn plays an important role in American culture, often being used as autumn harvest decor. Since it’s just about time for the season, we thought it would be fun to make some cute corn crafts for Fall, which you can use for decor too!
