Printable Acorn Craft for Children

Children will enjoy creating this meaningful acorn craft while learning that God has a special purpose for each one of them. The printable acorn pattern includes an original poem that compares the tiny acorn’s hidden potential to the way children can grow into what God created them to be.

Kids cut out the acorn pieces, lace brown yarn through the acorn top, and glue the top to the acorn poem page. The finished craft makes a beautiful fall display, bulletin board decoration, or hands-on activity to go along with acorn-themed stories, autumn lessons, or lessons about gifts, growth, and God’s purpose.

The download includes an acorn bottom pattern with the poem and a blank acorn bottom pattern so children can write their own poems, prayers, or thoughts.

Poem included:

“There’s power in the acorn, and there’s power in me.
Just like the tiny acorn that grows to be a tree,
Whose branches reach to heaven for all the world to see,
When I reach up to thee, Lord, I’ll become what I am supposed to be.”
