Paint and build a cozy acorn from a paper plate with this printable fall craft for preschool, pre-K, kindergarten, and first grade. Kids trace the acorn template, paint the cap dark brown and the nut light brown, cut and glue the pieces, and add a pipe cleaner loop and crisscross pattern.
Every step has a real photo, and a supply list with picture cues shows what to gather first, so even non-readers can follow along on their own.
A natural fit for fall units, art centers, and fine motor practice. Hang the finished acorns for a simple autumn display.
