Watercolor Acorn Friends Craft Supplies:

• Free ACORN Printable {download HERE}
• White Cardstock
• Color Printer
• Watercolors {any type will do, even Crayola brand!}
• Paint Brushes
• Small Dish w/water
• Black Glitter Glue

Directions:

• First things first – download and print the ACORN TEMPLATE above, on simple white cardstock {or any color you like!} Print it as much and many times as you like!
• Next, if desired, you can cut the acorn template out with scissors before or after you paint them. I opted for not cutting mine out but it’s just another angle you can take this craft 🙂
• Now it’s time to paint! Let the kids go wide and paint their little hearts out! Remember – you can make this a teachable moment on how to make different shades of BROWN, with the colors they have in front of them!
• For added flair {and more crafty fun} have children add black glitter glue around the edges and inside the painted acorn design.
• Finish off by giving your acorns some personality and gluing on wiggle eyes for them to see!
• Set aside to let it dry when done.
• Finally – display your hard work proudly!
