Family Days Tried And Tested

We went for a walk to collect some of the conkers starting to fall to make a conker wreath.

We’ve got lots more Halloween Ideas and some special Halloween for Toddlers activities, and a stack of Conkers, Hazelnuts & Acorns Ideas.

• What you will need…
• Conkers
• Polystyrene
• Brown paint
• Dressmaker pins
• Thread to hang

We cut out a ring of polystyrene into a donut shape.

We then painted our polystyrene ring with brown acrylic paint.

Once dried I used the dressmaker pins to push into the polystyrene and attach the conkers. The kids chose where to put the conkers and I attached them.

This would be lovely on its own as a autumn themed door wreath.

We then painted eyeballs onto our conkers to give it a Halloween feel. I used some white emulsion that I had kicking about in the shed and coloured acrylics for the iris and pupils.

We tied a piece of thread to hang it with.
