DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Sparkle Pinecones

contributed by Brenda!

This idea was a big hit with Brenda's son Nick and is so easy for young children to do.

Materials:

• pinecones collected from y our yard...the longer ones are nicest
• glue,
• sparkles
• plastic bag

Instructions:

• Have the children paint or roll the pinecones in a mixture of 2 parts school glue and 1 part water.
• Put some sparkles in the plastic bag and then put in the pinecones.
• Shake the bag to coat the pinecones (kids version of shake and bake!).
• Optional:  tie a ribbon onto them and hang them up!
