Forest Chestnut

🌰 Forest Chestnut 

The chestnut is one of the most beautiful autumn treasures of the woodland world — known for its smooth, shiny brown shell, its pale round spot and the spiky green case it grows in. Warm and glossy, the chestnut symbolizes autumn, abundance, discovery and the cozy magic of colorful forest walks 🍂✨

Chestnuts grow on tall trees in parks, forests and along old avenues. In autumn, their prickly cases fall to the ground and split open to reveal one or more shiny nuts inside. Collecting chestnuts is one of children's favorite autumn activities, and they are wonderful for counting, sorting, crafts and making little chestnut animals and figures.
