Children enjoy collecting acorns in the backyard or while on autumn hikes. Each year I have the children decorate the acorns they collect to make little faces. Be sure to read children’s books about acorns including, “Because of an Acorn,” “The Acorn Thief,” “The Oak Inside the Acorn,” and “Acorn.”
