Three ears of Indian corn hang tied together at the top of this page, each one showing tidy rows of plump kernels with peeled-back husk leaves fanning out behind them. Indian corn, also called flint corn, is a classic autumn decoration, and its kernels come in a speckled mix of red, orange, yellow, purple, and deep brown — which makes this a wonderful page for going wild with color. The rows of kernels invite careful, repetitive coloring that many kids find calming, while the broad husk leaves are quick to fill for younger hands. Coloring it is also a chance to talk about how corn has been grown in the Americas for thousands of years and was an important food at the first harvest feasts. Print it on US Letter or A4. Use lots of different colors on the kernels to recreate that beautiful speckled look.

Coloring Tips

Speckle the kernels — dot in reds, purples, yellows, and browns at random for an authentic Indian-corn look.
Dry husk leaves — color the fanned husks in pale tans and golds to look like dried autumn leaves.
Row by row — work along one row of kernels at a time so you do not lose your place.
