Supplies:

• ½ cup Indian corn kernels
• Sewing needle
• Thread
• Small bowl
• Water
• Soft clay
• Jute

Instructions:

1. Pour corn kernels into a small bowl of water.
2. Let the corn kernels soak overnight or until soft.
3. Thread the needle and tie a knot at the end of the string.
4. ADULT JOB – Push the needle through each soft kernel of corn until the necklace or bracelet is as long as you’d like.  Tie both ends to secure in place.
5. Alternatively, let children use play dough or other dough that is very pliable and soft, but will dry hard.  Make a small ball and flatten with your hand to make a pancake.  Have children press Indian corn kernels into the dough to form a pattern.  Make a hole in the top to tie a piece of jute to use as a necklace.  Really easy and turned out cute!

Tissue Paper crafts are great crafts to use with preschoolers.  They aren’t too messy and it takes a while to form little balls of tissue paper and glue to the paper.  It’s also a good way for them to practice hand dexterity skills while creating nice, three dimensional results. This particular craft is a good example of abstract art.
