Fun with acorns and chestnuts

On our recent trip to a park in Cēsis, we managed to collect quite a good amount of acorns and chestnuts, which have now started falling down from the trees, as the fall is approaching. Mom told us that in her childhood, she used to make great crafts from acorns and chestnuts. The next morning, we transformed our study time into an extended arts session (homeschooling rules!), spending a few hours making all kinds of figures out of our collected findings. We realized that immagination is all we need for coming up with as many different crafts from acorns and chestnuts as we like. In the pictures below, take a look at our raw material and the collection of ready made figures. For a more detailed look at each figure, click here: crafts from acrons and chestnuts
