Literacy Snack Idea Acorn + Free Printable

Literacy Snack Idea Acorn + Free Printable
this article (and most) on primary playground, does contain affiliate links that we do earn a commission off of.  clicking these links does not cost you any extra but helps our website to keep great articles and freebies like this coming your way.

We’re breaking into our fall books today for our literacy snack this week. We’re are reading, Because of an Acorn, by Lola M. Schaefer and Adam Schaefer.

Because of an acorn, a tree grows, a bird nests, a seed becomes a flower. This is a perfect book to illustrate the vital connections between the layers of the ecosystem. The book makes it easy for little learners to understand the cycle and how everything works together.

There is even a great area in the back of the book which goes more into detail about white oak trees, acorns, the ecosystem, and more. It even gives ideas of how children can help the forests.

For our snack this week, it’s only appropriate, that we are making acorns!

These resources work well with this article.

Free Printable

While the students are enjoying their acorn snack, I made a free printable for them to work on. They get to follow along with the story and number the pictures in the correct order that they happened in the book and then color the pictures.

If you’re looking for more fun acorn activities, your students will love practicing their counting with actual acorns with our acorn counting mats. I love bringing the outside in whenever we can!
