A is for acorn!
How fun are these acrylic acorns?! We love using them on our light table and putting them on the letter A, making patterns with them, and sorting them by color. I drew the letter A on a transparency film for the students to use.



Acorn Counting and Fine Motor Activities
Use these fake acorns or pick up acorns from outside (check for worms) to use for fine motor and counting activities.
