Fun with Flint Corn

We bought 2 bunches of miniature flint corn for crafts.
We paid only $1 for each ear and but we got a lot of mileage from each and every ear.

We pulled the kernels from the ears and popped them in the microwave and ate popped corn.
Pulling the kernels is a great fine motor activity. Visit our popping flint corn post for detailed instructions.

We used them as rolling pins for play dough.

We rolled the empty and full ears in paint and rolled onto paper.

We also saved the husks, soaking in water to make them pliable and made a corn husk doll.
We used the easy to follow directions on teachersfirst.com
