Thanksgiving Day is very near so now is the perfect time to make all the decorations and menu planning (second Monday in October for Canadians and fourth Thursday in November for Americans).
A popular Thanksgiving Day craft as well as decoration is the Indian Corn. Indian Corn crafts can easily be made from inexpensive materials you may already have at home such as construction paper, tissue paper, or toilet paper/paper towel rolls.

Wrap Corn - I have been waiting to do this craft for ages but you will see that
even fun projects sometimes don’t appeal to cranky 2 year olds,

about nutrition, cooking or gardening too!

Corn
Dollies - Corn dollies have been around for many years. With origins in the
Pagan, these dolls were created to give the "corn spirit" a
home for the winter. The act of creating them is one of many customs
to celebrate the harvest. Traditional corn dollies are made from
wheat grasses or corn shucks.
Corncob
Pipe - Corncob pipes bring back memories of simpler times. A corncob pipe
has always been the preferred smoking instrument for farmers. Many
pipe enthusiasts use corncob pipes to sample pipe tobaccos because
they provide a smooth smoking experience and the cob itself lets the
taste and aroma of the tobacco shine. It isn't too difficult to make
a corncob pipe if you have access to corn.
