Download and print the FREE PDF. (link will open in another window) Copy as many pages of the pumpkin, corn, grapes, and apple page as you think that you will need. Note we added more corn, grapes, and apples to the PDF. 

Fold the paper plate slightly so that you can cut out the center along the rim.

Color and cut out the cornucopia.

Place the cornucopia on the paper plate so that the bottom lines up with the bottom of the rim. Part of the paper plate will show near the pointed end cut this area off.

Glue the cornucopia to the plate.

If you have not already done so, print off a copy of the pumpkin, corn, grapes, and apples page. (I did use two pumpkins, so I needed two copies.)

Color the fruit and vegetables, then cut them out.

Print, color, and cut out the cornucopia. Glue to the background paper.

Print, color, and cut out the fruits and vegetables. Glue them to the picture.

Place the brown paper so that one corner is facing you. Bring 3 1/2 inches over and add a line of glue near the edge.

Bring the opposite end over to meet the glue. Secure with a paper clip.

Roll the corner over, making a cone shape. Secure the corner with a paper clip. Let the glue dry.

Write “Give Thanks” on the inside of the cornucopia.

Make some fruit and vegetables from construction paper. 

Glue the pumpkins so that they will stand in front of the opening. Add the apples near the point. Add the grapes to the sides.

You will need a large circle approximately 4 3/4 inches, another circle approximately 4 inches, and a small one about 3 1/4 inches. 

Cut three large circles, three medium circles, and two small circles. You will also need a pear shape with a bottom circle approximately 3 1/4 inches and a top approximately 2 inches.

Overlap the three large circles so that an inch or so shows. Glue them together.

Next, place one of the medium circles with approximately 1 1/2 inches showing and more to one side. Add the other two medium pieces.

Then continue adding pieces. Add the pear shape last to make the point of the cornucopia.

Cut pieces of fall colored tissue paper approximately 1 to 2 inches square. Roll the squares into balls.

Place some glue on the first circle. Add the tissue paper balls. When the circle is filled, press the tissue in the glue so that it will stick.

Place the open end of the fruit cup on a piece of brown craft foam near one corner. Draw around the circle.

Now draw a line from the circle to the opposite top corner. Curve the line some so that it makes the point of the horn.

Draw a line from the bottom of the circle to the corner. (I used a marker so that you can see the lines, but you can use a pencil, just don't press too hard.)

Cut the shape out.

On the circle portion of the cornucopia, add some tacky glue. Add fall colored pony beads in a pattern to represent pumpkins, grapes, corn, and apples. Add a little more glue so that the beads stick together. Let the glue dry overnight.

Make several and write the names of your guests on each one. Place them on their plates on Thanksgiving. It's great to remind them to fill their plates with plenty. ;)
