Acorn Colouring Page
When you've finished colouring our simple acorn colouring page you could cut them out and use them to make a fun classroom display.
Acorns
An acorn is the nut of an oak tree and contains a seed (or sometimes two) from which a new oak tree may grow. Many animals like to eat acorns: mice, squirrels, deer, pigs and bears, to name a few. They have also been used as a human food - especially in times of famine - and as a substitute for coffee.
The shape and size of an acorn are fascinating to children, and many an imaginery fairy has drunk from an acorn "cup".
We have a collection of acorn activities below which you could incorporate into your autumn or tree topics.
