A new take on last year's persimmon craft!

Last year, I made paper persimmons on a real branch with my kids -- you can see the step by step DIY instructions here. We made them again this year but instead of using scrunched up newspapers and orange washi paper, we used orange balloons and pillow stuffing!

I feel like the smooth surface of the balloons makes them look more realistic than the paper ones!

If you have young kids or teach young kids, this might be a fun, seasonal craft for them to do. Doesn't cost much in terms of the supplies needed, either.
