Acorns and conkers

Our second meeting in a village hall had a definite autumnal feel to it. It was raining finely, and about half the temperature of the previous day!

Armed with a glue gun, a drill and lots of acorns, conkers, beech nuts, pinecones, sycamore seeds, some googly eyes and a bit of glittery glue and golden paint, we set about making some little people/animals/fairies and necklaces.

If you have some leftover material and are unsure what to do with it all, check out this page full of great ideas.

Beautiful princess, fairy and animals

Love the prickly shield, and the acorn hat toes Alex insisted on having for his conkers man to stand on

After the session, some of us went for a little walk in Fyne Court. We enjoyed playing this new natural instrument,

and said hello to the three resident pigs.
