Landon brought this pinecone to my class yesterday afternoon. He picked it up at his school. His teacher taught them a trick with pinecones and he wanted to try it out with his own pinecone. He filled a bucket with water this morning and put his pinecone in it to soak. This afternoon when he came back to my room, he went to check on his pinecone and it had closed up. So cool! I learned something right along with Landon. It closes up to protect the seeds. As it dries out, it will open back up.
