Provide ears of corn with the husks on. During small group, have the children peel off the husks and strip off the silk. Model this activity for the children. Encourage them to ask questions about the parts of the ear of corn. If the children are still developing the fine motor skills needed to peel the husk, assist them and encourage them to touch and feel the husk and corn.
