How it works

  1. Let's get started! Collect chestnuts. Make sure to only pick up the ones on the ground and not to pluck them from the trees. How many closed fruits can you find?

  2. Chestnut race: Mark a start and finish line and bet on who can carry the most chestnuts from the start line to the finish without dropping them.

  3. You can also count them and see who found the most chestnuts by the end of the day.

  4. Create chestnut figures: Use your chestnuts to make cute little figures. Use googly eyes and other small accessories to create faces and other details.
