This magical harvest basket is packed with delicious Thanksgiving treats. Every fruit and vegetable inside came from a busy autumn garden. Fill the whole cornucopia with your favorite colors!
This curled harvest basket is bursting with tasty garden treasures! Look closely at all the fruits and vegetables tucked inside its wide opening. The cornucopia, sometimes called a horn of plenty, is a cheerful Thanksgiving symbol because it looks so wonderfully full. Will your picture show a harvest from a sunny farm, a magical garden, or your very own dream feast? There is room for lots of bright color choices.
Make the woven basket warm brown, tan, or golden yellow. Color pumpkins orange, corn kernels yellow, and leafy bits green. Apples can be red, green, or even a mix of both. Try deep purple for grapes and rich red for berries if you spot them. For an extra autumn feeling, add little patches of red, orange, and yellow throughout the pile. Use a darker brown in the basket grooves to make its weave stand out.
A cornucopia is shaped like a horn with a wide, open end. It is often filled with food to show plenty, sharing, and thankfulness. Autumn is harvest time in many places, when farmers gather crops that have grown in fields and gardens. Corn, pumpkins, apples, and squash are all foods people often connect with fall. What three foods would you be happiest to find inside your own overflowing basket?
