activities By Rebecca

Here is an activity about the Indians helping the Pilgrims plant corn. I give each student a clear plastic cup, three or four Oreo cookies, a gummy fish, and two or three pieces of candy corn. We crush the cookie into our cup (soil). Then we put our gummy fish (for fertilizer like the Indians showed the Pilgrims)into the soil. Now, we plant the corn (candy corn). Then we eat our harvest. Just a simple and fun activity to do.

These are not really Art activities but they are fun and my third graders enjoy them.
