It’s the time of year again, the chestnut trees are letting their treasures fall. And all children are getting wild when you pass a chestnut tree.

What to do with all those chestnuts?

We create animals from the chestnuts.

How to create animals of chestnuts?

Necessities to create animals of chestnuts.

• Chestnuts
• Toothpicks
• Wobbly eyes
• Sate sticks
• Chenille wire
• Prick
• Glue

Make 4 little holes with the prick an stick in the toothpicks for the legs of the little animals.

Cut the toothpick in half for the neck, except when you make a giraffe, then you use a whole toothpick.

Prick the holes for the ears and tail. Stick in the ears and a tail from the chenille wire. Make a curly tail by winding the chenille wire around a pencil.

Glue as last the wobbly eyes on the head.
