Get ready to explore. Your senses are about to be awakened. Test your sense of sight by selecting the prettiest pinecone and stones you can find.

Pick one that feels nice to touch, isn't too soggy and doesn't bend over too much. You are about to use your imagination to make a pinecone person. This will increase your hand/eye coordination and you will learn how to put different materials together.

Material needed:

pinecone

four small stones including two of the flattest ones you can find to use as feet

yarn

sugar or glitter

glue or rubber cement

Intructions:

Will your pinecone person be silly or serious? When you are choosing your pinecone and stones, that will be important.

1) Start with a clean pinecone. Glue two flat stones on the bottom. They will be the feet.

2) Glue the other two small stones and place here the eyes will be.

3) Use a small piece of yarn for the mouth. Do you want your person to smile,frown or sneer? You can also braid or tie some yarn together to use as hair.

4) Put glue on the pinecone and sprinkle with sugar or glitter. Your person pinecone, four small stones including two of the flattest ones you can find to use as feet, yarn, sugar or glitter, and glue or rubber cement (rubber cement works better)

Variations:

Use acorns, peanuts or walnuts to make other kinds of people. If you have small pieces of fabric, pipe cleaners or buttons around the house, you can use those to accessorize or to give your person ears (rubber cement works better).
