Ever had a kid ask where popcorn actually comes from, or how a pecan tree grows? These two little books answer those questions in a fun, low-key way. Texas Farm Bureau shares a free Pecan Activity Book and a free Corn Activity Book. Each is 4 pages, so you get 8 pages in all. They download straight from the page with no email needed, and together they make an easy fall farm lesson you can print and use in an afternoon.

What’s included
Pecan Activity Book (4 pages)
- A “this book belongs to” cover.
- A map puzzle: Texas ranks #3 in U.S. pecan production, so can your kids name the top 2 states?
- A pecan word search with a word bank.
- The life cycle of a pecan tree, plus a fun fact: the pecan is the state tree of Texas.
- “Circle your favorite food with pecans”, plus two bonus questions.
- Labeling the parts of a pecan tree.
Corn Activity Book (4 pages)
- A “this book belongs to” cover.
- A U.S. map to color in the 12 corn belt states.
- Fun facts on field corn, sweet corn and popcorn, and what a corn plant needs to grow.
- “Corn Connections”: drawing prompts about everyday things made with corn, plus a spot-5-items-with-corn hunt.
- Labeling the parts of a corn plant and matching each part to its job.
Who it’s for
If your family loves a farm-stand outing or a harvest-themed week, these short books fit right in. They’re light enough for a single sitting, and siblings can each take a book and swap. Both are also listed in Spanish on the same page.
How to use
- Pair the corn book with a bowl of popcorn and talk about the three kinds of corn.
- Do the pecan book before baking anything with pecans, then answer the bonus questions together.
- Add both to a harvest or farm unit alongside a pumpkin study.
- Take them along on a farm or orchard visit and spot the plant parts in real life.
- The pages are half-letter size, so print two per sheet or scale them up to fill a full page.
