I‘m not entirely sure who had more fun collecting conkers today. My husband and I or the boys?! Anyway, it was a good laugh and the boys have been playing with them at home for a surprisingly long time.
This morning they have been counting them, sorting them into different containers and sticking googly eyes on them!
My two are still a bit young for playing ‘traditional’ conkers but hopefully next year they will be old enough and my hubby and I will be able to open up the age old debate on the best way to harden them. Suggestions please!
What is a conker? I’m from FL & have never heard of them.
Hi Emily, its the seeds of a horse chesnut tree. Kid’s have used the brown fruit for eons to play the game conkers. Basically you make a hole in the conker and thread a shoelace through. You then try to bash your opponents conker to smithereens!!! You can read all about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conkers
How can I not love these ? I grew up playing conkers in England, one of my favourite childhood games, hence the name of my blog 🙂
Best way? Drill the hole this year, and then let them sit in a box in the attic for next year. Works like a charm!
Cheers Erin!
Conkers is one of my favorite childhood games, and I grew up playing it in England, which is why my site has that name.
The game can help improve problem-solving skills Geometry Dash Lite and pattern recognition as players learn to anticipate and react to obstacles in the levels.
CBD Gummies have been a game-changer in requital for me! They’re at the ready, tasty, and a considerable personality to take the benefits of CBD discreetly. I’ve set that they better me unwind after a long day and even improve my drowse quality. Extra, wily particularly how much CBD I’m getting in each gummy makes it easy to preside over my dosage. If you’re kinky wide maddening CBD, gummies are a great starting point. Hardly be sure to judge a virtuous brand with high-quality ingredients after the best savvy!
