Last Friday we collected acorn caps out on the playground to make these magical little play-things. I had intended on making a basket of them to use for games and math, but no one was interested in parting with their shiny gems! I can sure tell why: they are stunning! Good thing there are plenty of acorns to be found and we will make more during our playtime this week.

After colouring the inside with washable marker, we filled the caps with the magic potion (white glue).
And we left for the weekend... |
