Materials:

• Acorns or wooden acorns from craft store
• Acrylic paints
• Paint brush
• Pencil
• Option: 6 inches heavyweight thread and white glue

Directions:

If you are using wooden acorns, paint the bottom half brown. Paint the tops of acorns another color, maybe each family member's favorite color. When bottom half is dried, paint on a simple face. To make very thin tiny lines, try using a very sharp pencil instead of a paintbrush. Just dip pencil tip into paint and lightly draw on acorn. When all the paint is dried, you can display your acorn family in a candy dish. If you wish to use your acorns as a hanging ornament, put a small drop of glue on top part of acorn. Knot the ends of thread together and press knot into the glue drop on acorn. Let dry.
