Start collecting all those pinecones when you’re out on a walk. \"\"<\/p>\n

After all the wet and windy weather, pinecones are everywhere! \u00a0This huge basket of pinecones was from a backyard! \u00a0We can use them for counting, sorting, sensory play, building, stacking and more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We can also create with them!<\/p>\n

Using glitter, sequins and glue, let your child decorate a pinecone!<\/p>\n

For a painting activity, you’ll need a cardboard box lid, paper, paint and pinecones. \u00a0Place the piece of paper inside the box lid, add\u00a0some paint and then the pinecones. \u00a0Tip the box left, right, forward and backwards to make the pinecones move through the paint. \u00a0Watch how the paint mixes and how the pinecones leaves tracks all over the paper. \u00a0After you are finished, you’ll have a cool painting and a decorative pinecone!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another activity to try is weaving pinecones. \u00a0You will need some yarn, string, ribbon or even pipecleaners. \u00a0Simply let your child weave the yarn in and around the pinecone scales.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And lastly, I glued some eyes onto the pinecones with a hot glue gun just to start the project. \u00a0I simply ask the children….”I wonder what can this become?” \u00a0I tried this activity at StrongStart after reading a story about Owls. \u00a0Some children made monsters, owls, themselves and other birds.<\/p>\n

I supplied an assortment of materials for the children to create with. \u00a0Here, there are pompoms, feathers, pipe cleaners, yarn bits and wire.\u00a0\u00a0You can also add moss, twigs and sticks, more eyes, fabric\/ribbon and paper for them to create with!<\/p>\n
