**Fun Fall project using Mother Nature**
Draw a "fall shape" on construction paper. A leaf, tree, or pumpkin works! Use light colored paper for a better effect. Next, place the design in a small cardboard box or container. Squeeze a small amount of fall colored paint in the center of the paper. Place a few acorns in the box and gently roll the acorns through the paint until you have the desired effect. Dry. Cut out the shape and mount on black construction paper.
**A fun thing to do with this is make acorn painted leaves, dry and mount on a large tree on your bulletin board for Fall.
