Craftwork from walnut shell

A huge space for children's creativity is in the usual nutshell. Due to the large enough size, special texture and good ability to keep the paint, a lot of interesting children's crafts can be created from the walnut shell. What can be done from the shell? Yes, all that the soul wants: funny animals, berries and mushrooms, Christmas decorations, appliqués and voluminous toys. The most difficult thing in making crafts is to carefully cut the nut into two halves and remove the nucleolus so as not to damage the shell. The rest depends only on imagination.
