Acorn Activities for Preschoolers

Welcome to Pre-K Pages!

I’m Vanessa Levin, a curriculum writer, early childhood teacher, consultant, public speaker, and author. I help busy Pre-K and Preschool teachers plan effective and engaging lessons, create fun, playful learning centers, and gain confidence in the classroom.

Fall is a great time to study trees and the things that grow on them. Apples, pinecones, colored leaves, and acorns all make great additions to the classroom in the fall each year. Check out these ideas for using acorns or talking about acorns in your preschool classroom.
