Pinecone Crafts

At our church garage sale I picked up a large bag of pine cones for $2.  I suppose I could have found pine cones on the ground, but hey, they were all in a bag right in front of me already.  So, what to do with all of them?  I'm looking for ideas on the internet.  I want to find something to make with the kids at school.

 

Little Miss Pine cones found here.

Turkey Pinecone

Any other ideas?  I'm thinking of having kids paint the pinecones, add glitter, tie on yarn, ribbon and beads?
