This year I had to get the dried corn stalks to decorate the yard. . . I love fall so much! One of the great benefits is the husk - we decided to try our hands at corn husk dolls. There are lots of ways to do this but here's a nice tutorial

I love crafts using natural materials. Just wanted to share! If I could find my camera I'd share pictures of ours. The kids love doing it.

My ds would probably enjoy this.

Thanks for the link!

I made some for a craft swap last year, it was fun!

We have done these and had lots of fun.

I would just recommend using rubberbands instead of string to tie them. Much easier and faster for the kids.
