How to make it
1Draw a big acorn
Draw an acorn outline that fills the page. Split it into a cap on top and a nut below.
2Tear the pieces
Show your child how to pinch the paper with both hands and pull one hand toward them. Tear a pile of small pieces.
3Glue the nut
Rub glue stick inside the bottom part. Press light brown pieces all over it.
4Glue the cap
Fill the cap with the darker brown pieces.
5Trace it again
Go over the outline with the marker so the acorn pops off the page.
Precut the paper into strips about 1 in wide. Small hands tear strips much better than whole sheets.
