🎨 How to color it

Color the corn kernels sunny yellow, the open husks leaf green, and the melting butter a soft golden yellow. Use chunky crayons to fill the big husk shapes first, and let little hands dab each round kernel without worrying about the lines. For a fun twist, make the butter drip extra bright so it looks warm on the middle of the cob.

The story behind this coloring page

Why Corn Holds Butter — In the warm supper basket, Finn held very still. The corn silk tickled: swish, swish. Read the full story →

In the warm supper basket, Finn held very still. The corn silk tickled: swish, swish. He wanted to be brave when the big cloth opened.

Plop! A tiny butter square slid down beside him, cold and slippery. “May I sit?” it whispered.

Finn made one small puff. His kernels tucked close, making a cozy middle seat. The butter softened there, gold and gentle.

Ever since, corn has held butter in little kernel cups. Next time you see the middle spot, can you find where Finn was first brave?
