Product Information

Once they are cool pierce them with a sharp tool or drill and thread a string 30cm to 60cm long through the hole and knot the bottom. The best way to make a hole in a conker is to use a sharp screw-type device. It’s important to use a screw-type method rather than trying to punch a hole in the conker, as if you try to punch a hole (for example, using a kebab skewer or bradawl) then it’s highly dangerous and your likely to put the the skewer through your hand - as the conker is so small and hard. Some bigger conkers actually grow as ‘twins’, and split down the middle - with a flat side. What happens if you plant a conker?

Personal information that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes. No, it’s not possible to eat conkers. Unlike other types of chestnuts - which are edible - horse chestnuts - Aesculus hippocastanum -conkers are in fact poisonous. I was saddened to see conkers is one of the lost words highlighted in Robert Macfarlane's book. How can these stunning orbs become lost from our children's vocabulary? It seems inconceivable to me.Conkers vary in size depending on how long they’re left to grow on the tree, how old the horse chestnut tree is and the season’s growing conditions (i.e. how much sun and water they’ve had). If you’re collecting from a more natural spot please collect considerately – you may find our our foraging guidelines useful to help you reduce your impact. And you can always plant more, following our planting tree seeds guide. Don’t forget to collect up the little and misshapen ones that often get ignored - they can come in useful.

F-Clamps are similar to G-Clamps, except the frame is not fixed. One arm of the frame slides along a bar. This feature allows for a greater clamping range of up to 600 milimetres without requiring a longer threaded rod.The history of the name ‘conker’ is not 100% clear, however ideas of why a conker is called a conker include: A link to the French word ‘conque’ which means ‘conch’ or ‘shell’ - referring to the shell of the horse chestnut, or perhaps another game involving snail shells

Stampsies (or stamps) is where if a conker ends up on the floor, a player shouts ‘stampsies’ and then races to try to stamp and crush their opponents conker. There are some alternative rules to the the traditional rules of conkers, where players are allowed to perform alternative moves. The two main alternative moves are stampsies (or stamps) and tangles. We ended this week with the very important task of cleaning our big teeth we have in the forest. The children had the opportunity to draw some food on the big teeth and then wipe them off at the end. We spoke about the importance of brushing our teeth and looking after our mouths. We will only provide communication about the eSchools platform to school staff/governors who can manage their preferences at any time through their eSchools dashboard.If you want to play a more advanced game of conkers, then using ‘conker coins’ to score and accrue points is a must - as this makes the game more fun. The Conker is the nut which is produced from the Horse Chestnut Tree ( Aesculus hippocastanum) - not to be confused with a sweet chestnut.
