Materials Needed for DIY Felt Parts of an Acorn:

  • 1 dark brown, 1 light brown, 1 medium brown, 1 dark green, 1 light green, 1 white felt sheets (12in x 12in sheets)

  • Pencil or Pen
  • Laminator
  • Laminating Sheets
  • Fabric Glue or Hot Glue Gun (optional)
  • Markers (optional)
  • Free acorn and oak tree printable template (scroll down)

*Please note: I recommend using the thick or stiff wool/rayon felt because it is easier to handle and cut versus the flimsy felt pieces.

Pages 10-12 are the sapling template. Pages 13-15 are the mature oak tree template. Page 16 are fun numbered acorns to place on the mature oak tree. Page 17 is the template for the snag or stump.

    This looks cute! And also i think the kids will really have fun with the activities where they were actually be able to touch and build the parts of an acorn instead of just passively seeing them in a screen or paper. Thank you for sharing this will surely try this out with my student is in https://georgia.edu.ph/. But it will be a different fruit.
