“The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is a quote that has such deep meaning. Just think about it, all those acres and acres of forests and giant oak trees – they all began from a single acorn and multiplied from there. Amazing!
The humble acorn shows us how something so small can hold in it such magnificent power. Just goes on to prove that size doesn’t matter, nor does appearance or anything external – it’s what is inside that really counts.
Since we’ve realized that the little acorn is quite amazing in reality, let’s celebrate it with some amazing acorn crafts that are perfect for this season!

Celebrating acorns with acorn crafts may seem strange to some – after all, an acorn is just a little nut! However, as we saw earlier, we know that an acorn is much more. As Clive Anderson said, “For children, it’s interesting that an acorn will grow into an oak, and for older people, it’s a legacy.” Looks like an acorn is certainly worth celebrating, especially in Fall!
