Craft Supplies:
- Free ACORN Printable {FIND THE FREEBIE ON BOX.COM}
- White Cardstock Paper
- Color Printer
- Colorful Watercolors {any type will do}
- Small Paint Brushes
- Small Dish w/water
- Black Glitter Glue

Directions:
- First things first – print out the ACORN TEMPLATE listed above, on white cardstock paper {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!
