Build An Acorn Printable

Fall is possibly my favorite time of the year and with the changing colors there’s so much in nature for kids to be inspired by.

Oak trees and acorns are instantly recognisable and I think that they’re a great option for kids too as we all know that the mighty trees grow from little acorns, all of us have the potential to grow too!

I love fall crafts and we’ve got loads of ideas that you can link this activity with as part of a fall theme.

I think its going to look great displayed too so if you’ve got a fall themed bulletin board planned then this is definitely one to grab.

If you like this design but want something more simple for your kids art projects then check out our free printable acorn template.

Craft Supplies Needed

• Build an acorn PDF file
• White paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Coloring materials – crayons, colored markers or coloring pencils

Cut and Paste Acorn Craft

Start by printing your PDF file onto white paper or cardstock. As a general rule white paper is fine for all of our cut out crafts but if you want something that’s a little more durable then opt for card stock instead.

Next up it’s time to grab your coloring materials, colored pencils, markers or crayons are all fine here as long as you have some fall colors, browns and greens are perfect. Color in all of the different parts of the acorn on the sheet.

As you’ll know the leaves of an oak tree change during fall so you can go with green, orange, yellow, red or brown – or pick a combination of them!

Grab your scissors and cut the different acorn pieces out following the dotted lines around each part.

Glue the acorn’s cup onto the nut as directed and then stick the stalk to the top of the acorn.

Carefully glue the completed acorn onto one side of the branch and then glue your oak leaf onto the other side.
