2017 Kid's Nutcracker Making Contest Winners

 

First Place - Grades 1 through 6

Olyn Schultz

The nut is placed under the dowel in a pit on the base, then is cracked when the stone hammer strikes the top of the dowel.

Second Place ~ Grades 1 through 6

Kaia Tande, Eliza Tveton, Naomi Tveton

A rock is tied between two sticks which are fastened to a hinge. This forms a lever which will drop the rock onto the nut.

The nut is cracked between two pieces of petrified wood when the pressure from the spring is released.

The nut is placed in a recessed circle on the large block and is cracked as the smaller block slides down the dowels.

A very creative nutcracker! The sloth, with weighted head, slides down the tree trunk cracking the hard shell of the nut.

Will Piers

The eagle head and neck is lifted and nut is placed inside the hole carved in the body. Striking the head will then crack the nut.
