This is great for even preschoolers. Pre-make the magnet with pipecleaners and raffia hot glued together. Add the tri-beads in any pattern desired. Simply bend the ends when the "corn" is full.
This is a good idea. Bigger kids could make the whole thing.

I'm glad to see this craft posted. I had instructions for a lapel pin version that I wanted to make with our young people but it called for 4 specific hard-to-find colored tri beads which I couldn't find in several craft stores. Also it would have been expensive since I would have had to buy a bag of each color. I like the multi colored beads just as well. They really do look like ears of Indian corn. Thanks.
