Horse chesnuts

[stevensmummy]

Hi guys,

I need a suggestion. My eldest has a fascination for horse chestnuts or conkers as we call them up here. He wants to do something with them. Like what???

Hes too young for the traditional conker game when you bash your oponents one to its death.

What else can you do with them?

By the way are they poisionous? My one year old decided to have a chew of one, I retrieved it but I'm sure he probably ate some!!

No conkers arent poisonous...

How about baking them in the oven so they are really hard then painting them to have a big bag full or colourful conkers - use em as marbles or something???
