ACORN CRAFTS FOR KIDS : Ideas for Arts and Crafts Activities & Projects with Acorns and Nature for Children, Teens, and Preschoolers

During the Fall / Autumn season, it is fun to make things out of Acorns....since they are everywhere (at least where I live in North Eastern America). Acorns are also called an Oak Nut, and contains a single seed (usually) with a tough leathery shell.

The neat thing about Acorns is that they have the natural shape of a person's head wearing a hat. This makes a really cute project. Just take some paint out and paint eyes, nose, and a mouth on the Acorn's surface. You can also paint the cap / hat part of it...put this is optional. It is a good idea to varnish the acorn afterwards to make sure that it isn't infested by insects....yuck.

During the Halloween season, you can paint them orange and then paint triangle eyes and nose on them to look like a Miniature Pumpkin Jack-o-Lantern. They are so cute and very easy to create.

How about making a squirrel with a carboard tube and felt or paint. Then use pipe cleaners for arms and wrap it around an acorn...since squirrels eat acorns. This is an adorable craft and a great table decoration as well.

It sounds strange, but you can also make beautiful acorn jewelry by stringing varnished acorns like they are beads. They look gorgeous if you paint them all different colors. You can then paint faces on all of the acorns or paint your Name's letters on them for a really beautiful necklace.

For Thanksgiving, a lot of people make Pinecone turkeys with acorn heads...you can do the same by making an adorable pinecone / acorn field mouse.
