Newsletter from The Nutcracker Lady

How do you open the hard shell of the nut?  Here are a lot of fun ways to do it…..

From England comes the “Tough Nut”.  Just insert the nut and whack him on the head!

   
 

King Neptune sits on larger nuts to crack them, but cracks smaller nuts with his feet.

   
 

This Kangaroo cracks the nut in her pouch.

   
Sometimes you lift the nose or the hat brim to insert the nut. 
 

   

With this man, you lift the arms up in back of him to open his mouth for the nut.

   

Sometimes a shoe is used to crack the nut.

   

Even a guillotine can be used to crack a nut

   

Using a hammer is always a good way to crack a nut.

   

Sometimes you just drop a  ball to crack the nut.

   

Sometimes the nut is cracked inside a nutshell!

   
   

Here is the favorite of the men---crack the nut under a row of beer barrels.
