Easy fall coloring page with corn on the cob, open husks, jagged leaves, and a small gourd.

Corn Cob with Husk and Little Gourd

A plump corn cob stands tall in curled husks, with jagged autumn leaves and a squat little gourd tucked at its base.

🎨 How to color it

Color the corn kernels buttery yellow, the tall husks fresh green, the jagged side leaves orange-red, and the little gourd pale tan. Use chunky crayons or markers to fill the big husk shapes first, then dot each rounded kernel without worrying about perfect edges. For a fun fall twist, make a few kernels brown, gold, or pumpkin orange like a secret pattern hiding in the cob.

Vera’s Cornbutton Swap — Every day, Vera clicked her cornbutton against the mill fence—tock, tock—to make the squirrel band march crooked. Read the full story →

Every day, Vera clicked her cornbutton against the mill fence—tock, tock—to make the squirrel band march crooked. The button was only one hard yellow kernel, but it had been her first joke, saved from last fall’s supper. Then one chilly afternoon, the band’s acorn drum split with a PONK!

Because of that, the parade went silent. Because of THAT, the geese began honking the wrong song and bumping into flour sacks. Vera snorted into her scarf, then slipped behind the tall corn shocks. “Don’t look,” she whispered.

She tucked her cornbutton under the drum strap and tiptoed away. Tock, tock, tock! The beat came back bouncy and bright. Nobody saw Vera grin beside the little gourd; can you spot the place where her secret button might be hiding?
