What did we do with Gimme Cracked Corn?
Some cobs had dots on them that represented that number. Some had shapes with that number of sides. Some cobs had pictures with that number of objects on them.
We put blobs of paint on the right-hand side of the roasting pan and the construction paper on the left-hand side. Then JDaniel rocked the roasting pan from side to side.
The corn made a really pretty print onto the paper.
Apple Pie Popcorn
Another Fun Corn Activity
B-Inspired Mama had a great guest post exploring concepts based on the book There Was An Old Lady Who Wasn’t Afraid of Anything on her blog. The guest post was written by Educator’s Spin On It.

I love how you really read and encourage books with your son!!!! The love of reading really makes a difference in a person’s life. SOOOO grateful that all three of my children love books.
The activities are just amazing!
I love the corn cob painting – so cool! I also think the number matching game is cute.
I have a post coming up in the next couple of days for the Popcorn Book. We glued popcorn on painted paper ears of corn, read the book and then popped some popcorn. The popcorn book might be another good one to read with your activities.
I can’t read about Jimmy Cracked Corn without thinking of that scene in PeeWee’s Big Adventure where PeeWee and the hobo are singing on the train. You came up with some neat activities for this one!
What fun activities! I hadn’t thought of corn cob painting. I’ll have to check out this book!

I love this theme!!
Great ideas, I love the corn craft.
Yum – popcorn is a great idea. Love the prints too.
I love the paper corn stalk activity! How creative to have to find the right number of dots, sides of the shape… Love that!
I just found your link-up, and will be checking it out lots. I didn’t do anything creative and book-ish this week, so I hope you don’t mind that I linked to a post I wrote a couple of weeks.
The apple pie popcorn sounds tempting. You do have an excellent little photographer and crafter!
You come up with the best ideas. What a great idea to paint with a corn cob! I can see mine being busy for at least an hour with this!
That popcorn looks like a great snack! YUM!
Oooh fun idea to give painting with corn a go.
I love how creative you were this book!
We have to have a go at this. J is fascinated by corn – he wants to start growing sweet corn now! Thank you for hosting this linky and I’ve just discovered the facebook page as well
So cute!
What wonderful ideas. I love the corn cob painting, and I am a sucker for new fun ways to incorporate math. Have to say the title is really cute.
And the recipe sounds yummy.
If you get a chance I invite you to link up with Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen

Now that the weather is getting cooler, I am looking for more indoor activities. I love this idea!!
I love the corn printing!
I love the corn printing and loved how you ended it with popcorn. So glad to see that you are still writing.
Oh this project looks like fun. Next time Ben is here we will go out into the corn field and collect some corn and get out the paints and have lots of fun.. Thanks for the idea..
I love reading and Ben is learning how to read.. I give him two words that are written on a piece of paper..and while I’m reading and we come to the words that are his, it’s his part to read those words..I love it..
Have a tiggeriffic day~! ta ta for now from Iowa:)
That apple pie popcorn sounds so deliciously yummy! Sounds like a pretty decent fall snack too!
its a very good technique use corn for painting Free Business Cards
Mm apple pie popcorn! My tummy is rumbling now.
Never thought of using popcorn or cobs of corn in so many different ways! I just like eating it! Found out by seeing your comment on the Sunday Blog Hop button from Naptime Review and felt I had to meet you too. Will be following you – if only to find out what other brilliant ideas you come up for your son: he’s a lucky boy to have a Mom ready to spend so much time with him!
Do come round and visit me at http://www.ColdhamCuddliescalling.blogspot.com: methinks you and he might enjoy reading about the toys I make, mend and otherwise create! Hope to see you soon! Isobel
You are really good at these crafts and ideas. I know JDaniel must have fun every single day!
love that corn painting..at first i was thinking that would not go over well here.. (wasting corn) until I read it was fake 🙂 ha ha…
question.. do you have a particular paint you like the most?
I have several activities I want to do with broxton (making handprints and what not) but want to get the best paint for the projects…
I love the corn painting too! I love your creativity!!
This is awesome! I also have a JDaniel 🙂 I will definitely be sharing these ideas with him.
Take care,
Courtney (your newest follower).
