Help your little ones say they’re loved by Jesus—with a paper plate acorn they paint, cut, and build.
A paper plate is all it takes to start. This free Nuts About Jesus acorn craft turns one into a smiling acorn that reminds your children they’re loved by Jesus—and gives them a hands-on way to say they’re nuts about Him right back.
Kids paint a paper plate brown for the acorn’s body, then color, cut, and glue on the “Nuts about Jesus!” cap, a happy face, a handful of fall leaves, and a little “Loved by Jesus” tag. A full-color version makes it simple to start.
It leaves your children with a cheerful acorn keepsake and a simple truth to carry into fall: Jesus loves them, plain and sure.
