Nick Jr. Acorn Aliens

Encourage your little artist to use her imagination to transform acorns into aliens or "crazy" creatures.

Lalaloopsy premieres 5/20-23 @ 1:30PM on NICK!

This craft has plenty of steps kids can do, like tracing, coloring, decorating, and cutting with safety scissors.

Create with us skills involve self-expression, experimentation, and imagination through visual arts (like painting and sculpting), dramatic play, cooking, and dance.

Ages: 2-5

Materials

1 large acorn
Smaller acorns
Pine needle branches
Leaves
Flowers
Tiny twigs
Feathers
Tiny pinecones
Wiggly eyes

Directions

WHAT YOU DO
Begin by deciding whether the acorn will be a face, a body, a nose---or a spaceship! Then add on details, making up creatures as you go along. You'll need a quick-drying glue because the pieces are rather tiny for little hands. You can also use playdough to secure the bits to your acorns.
