This Kangaroo cracks the nut in her pouch


Sometimes you lift the nose or the hat brim to crack the nut


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


 

You can even use your shoe to crack a nut


 

Here a guillotine is used to crack a nut.


 

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


 

Or you can just drop a ball on it.
