Choose the Right Acorn Size
Large acorn template
The full-page acorn is the easiest option for preschool crafts, painting, torn-paper mosaics, felt patterns, and large classroom decorations. Its bold outline gives young children plenty of room to color and decorate.
Medium acorn templates
The pages with two, four, or five acorns work well for individual crafts, name cards, writing prompts, matching activities, and bulletin-board pieces.
Small acorn templates
The pages with nine or twelve acorns are useful when you need multiple shapes for a class, fall garland, counting activity, reward chart, scrapbook page, or Thanksgiving table decoration.
Ways to Use the Printable Acorn Outlines
Fall coloring and painting
Print the outlines on white paper and decorate them with crayons, markers, watercolor, tempera paint, dot markers, or fingerprints. Children can add faces, patterns, or autumn colors to create a collection of unique acorns.
Cutting and fine-motor practice
Use a large, simple outline for beginning scissor practice. Older children can cut the smaller acorns or trace the templates onto construction paper, felt, cardboard, or craft foam.
Classroom bulletin boards
Write each student’s name on an acorn and arrange the shapes around a paper oak tree. The templates can also hold vocabulary words, thankful messages, book titles, or facts from an autumn nature study.
Acorn garland or place cards
Decorate several small acorns, punch a hole near each stem, and string them together for a fall garland. For Thanksgiving, write guests’ names on medium acorns and use them as place cards.
Nature-study activities
Use the outlines to label the cap, nut, and stem, compare acorns collected from different oak trees, or create a simple oak-tree life-cycle page.
