Learning for Littles: A Cornucopia of Fun

A couple kernels of info about what we've been up to...
Photobucket
It seems as though I love a theme. 
One of the things I love about homeschooling,
is that we can base our learning around an experience or "field trip".
Knowing that we were headed to the corn maze, I jumped on the corn theme after seeing the idea on Little Wonders' Days.

So, we husked some corn, and got to work reading books like
Anna's Corn, (crazy sweet and sad).

Why just read about corn when you can paint with it,
Photobucket
and recreate it with bubble wrap?

Our artwork became ears of corn that we made into Thanksgiving cards.
