When we were kids you never passed a large chestnut by. Instead you threw it in your pocket, and when you got home you carefully drilled a hole through it so as to maintain the nut's rigidity and set it to slowly dry and harden on the windowsill. Once dry we'd tie strings through them in order to have chestnut fights. Ahhhhh good times.

I remember making things like this when I was a kid & loved it. Sometimes simple is just the best way to go. The nature walk finding the supplies is also part of the "toy." Perfect.
