The next time you go for a nice autumn walk, keep an eye out for acorns. It doesn't matter it their tops are attached because you can always glue them back on. Have your kid(s) gather up some acorns to take home (if the acorns are missing their tops, be sure to gather some to glue on later). Once you get home, rinse off and dry your acorns. I recommend letting them dry over night just to be sure there is no moisture left on them.
Once your acorns are dry, set out some paints (we also used glitter glue) and let your kid(s) have fun decorating the acorns however they want. This is a fun activity to do as a whole family too!
Once the paint is dry, if any of your acorns are missing their tops, now is a good time to glue them on.
When all is done, these colorful little acorns make great decoration to scatter around the house, to put on the Thanksgiving dinner table, or to add to gift baskets.
