Pinecone Activities

I have spent the last several weeks collecting pine cones to use with my kids for a few projects this winter.


The first project we did was this turkey pine cone art project.  It was more difficult than I initially anticipated.  The feathers kept falling off the turkey, even after we glued them in.  Perhaps they would stick better with hot glue, but I am not comfortable with my 5 year old using a hot glue gun!


We made a pine cone Christmas tree as well.  We painted the pine cone green and glued different colored pom poms to the inside of the cone.


We made these cute pine cone owls as well!  Simply stuff the pine cone with cotton and glue eyes and a beak!  This makes a perfect craft for a winter animal or owl unit!


We also painted with our pine cones.  We dipped our pine cones in paint and rolled them around our paper!


We made rainbow pine cones to decorate our counter!  My daughter loved making the pine cone all different colors!


We explored our pine cones by looking at them trough a magnifying glass!
