Two Ears of Corn with Open Husks and Silk

Two ears of corn lie across the page, each with its husk peeled back to show rows of plump kernels. The upper ear points toward the top right, with a large leafy husk folded open on its left side and another long leaf curving beneath it. The lower ear rests sideways, wrapped in smooth husk leaves with a tied, blunt stem end on the right and wispy corn silk trailing from the left tip. The kernels are drawn as simple rounded squares, which makes them easy to color one at a time. Kids can try yellow and orange kernels with pale green husks, or mix in red, purple, and white for a colorful Indian corn look. It also works well for a Thanksgiving harvest lesson, since children can count the kernel rows and talk about where corn grows. This free printable suits crayons, markers, or colored pencils.
