Take a walk in your neighborhood or a park and look for acorns. Try to
find as many different kinds as you can. The number of acorns you will need
will depend on how big you want your wreath to be. Be sure to leave plenty
for the animals.

Acorn Wreath
Autumn is the time of the year when oak trees drop their acorns. Oaks do
not start producing acorns until they are between 20 and 50 years old. A
mature tree can produce over 2,000 acorns a year. Acorns come in different
shapes and sizes depending on the kind of oak tree they came from. They
provide food for birds, such as blue jays, woodpeckers and wild turkeys,
squirrels, and deer.
