Nutcracker & Chestnut Drill
Meet the unsung hero of chestnut-crafting season. Â
No more juggling chestnuts while trying to poke holes in them. Â
Just pop a chestnut into the holder, tighten the screw, and use the hand drill to create perfectly placed holes for your next chestnut masterpiece.Â
So simple, so clever. Â
Every family with children should have one of these in the kitchen drawer. Â
And yes, it doubles as a nutcracker, too.Â
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with
