    • Share

    Text "free printable acorn craft" with two pages of cut and paste acorn template. One is in color and the other in black and white.

    This free printable acorn cut and paste craft is a no-prep way for children to practice fine motor skills, handwriting, hand-eye coordination, and gluing skills.

    This is an easy cut and paste craft with only three pieces. This makes it well suited to both toddlers and preschoolers. Kindergarteners working on their handwriting will enjoy it, too!

    If you're looking for an acorn template, be sure to visit this post with free printable acorn templates in black and white. They are solid acorns to cut out and color, not a cut and paste craft like the printable featured on this page.

    If you're using this acorn craft as part of your letter A letter of the week lesson plans, make sure to check out this page with letter A activities.

    This craft is a fun accompaniment to reading a book like Because of an Acorn.

    Because of an Acorn is a beautiful book that highlights the enormous impact something as simple and small as an acorn can have on the entire ecosystem. If you haven't enjoyed it with your child yet, you need to!

    No products found.

    In addition to the cut and paste acorn craft, each page also has space to trace the word "acorn." The craft is available in two versions - color as well as black and white.

    Two pages of cut and paste acorn template. One is in color and the other in black and white. They are on a desk with fall colored school supplies and a child's hand holding open scissors.

    ​Materials needed for an easy acorn craft

    To make this acorn craft, you will need:

    • Your free printable (look for the row of purple arrows pointing at the download button)
    • Printer access and paper or card stock
    • Blunt tipped scissors
    • Glue stick
    • Preschool pencil or something else to write and trace with
    • Colored pencils or crayons, if you're using the coloring page version

    No products found.

    My daughter likes to trace and write the word on her cut and paste worksheets before coloring or cutting out the pieces. It's easiest for little learners to write on the page while it's still intact.

    Coloring the acorn is easiest before cutting out the pieces.

    Next, cut out the pieces.

    Three pieces of cut and paste acorn craft on a desk with fall school supplies. A child's hand holding a glue stick is also in the frame.

    Glue the pieces together to make an acorn. The cap goes on top of the nut and the stem goes on top of the cap. Easy peasy! Your child can also decorate their acorn to make a face by drawing features or adding googly eyes.

    No products found.

    That's it! This is a super easy, no-prep craft that your kids will be enjoying just minutes from now. Glue your completed acorn to a large craft stick to quickly and easily make a stick puppet.
