Instructions: Cut a large cornucopia (cone-like) shape out of brown construction paper (figure 1). Cut a large cirle out of a different shade of brown paper or use yellow or orange (figure 2). You want to circle big enough to glue over the end of the cone (where I have the arrows in figure 1). You can also print out this cornucopia coloring picture and use it!
Glue your cornucopia shape onto the left hand side of a large piece of paper (either white or a contrasting color). This will be the base for your placemat. Glue the circle shape onto the paper covering the end of your cornucoppia as shown below.
Now, the hardest part is done! Now page through magazines and find pictures of food! A traditional cornucopia is filled with fruits and vegetables that you harvest. Since this is your creation, you can also fill it with whatever foods you like! Cut the pictures of food out of magazines and glue them into the circle of your cornucopia. You can also have them "spilling" out of the right side onto the paper. Once you have all your food glued into your cornucopia and the glue is dried, cover both sides of your new placemat with clear contact paper. It will last for many meals to come! - See a larger photo of this craft completed by Cynthia and James.
