Acorn & Leaf Puppet Friends

Fall Acorn Friend Puppets - Free Printable Included

Acorn Friend Puppet Craft Idea For Fall

Count down the days to fall with our little acorn helper friends, who are always wearing smiles on their faces!

The season is changing and we are celebrating autumn’s spectacular show of color with our eye catching and super easy Fall Acorn Friend Puppets!

I was recently inspired by some decorative large burlap leaves I picked up at my local Dollar Tree. One thing led to another and here are today!

In this post, I’ve included a FREE printable acorn face template to get you started. With it, you are going to be well on your way to pulling this DIY puppet play idea together in no time! Perfect for an afternoon of crafting AND play!

So what are you waiting for? “FALL” into creativity by checking out the full tutorial below! Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures with us on our Facebook page afterwards. #gluedtomycrafts
