Currently I have conkers in pots, conkers in pockets in fact I have conkers anywhere imaginable!
I get as excited as the kids when I spot the first lot hitting the ground and we gather them up by the bucket load.
Unfortunately playing conkers at school has been banned for many years now and I just get stuck with he little beauties gathering dust.
Last year we did some autumnal painting with them which was great fun but I wanted to try something a little different this year.
We’ve have put wiggley eyes on them to create little people which was fun, but my favourite has been these conker snails.
All I did was to get the kids to take small amounts of plasticine and roll into a long sausage shape, place the conker near to the end of the sausage leaving a little for the tail(not sure that is the correct term). Then finally create the tentacles by splitting and moulding into shape at the top.
The children had great fun rolling out the plasticine and just needed a little help with the tentacles.
I still have hundreds left so really need some more ideas if anyone has any!
Such a cute ideas: stealing this. Thank you!!xxx
Glad you like it x
