These acorns were collected in the fall of 2024. I will pack 200+ acorns of the same type as spares♡ These were collected for use in preschool crafts and teaching materials♪ They were very well-received at the site, so I am currently selling them☆ After boiling and disinfecting them, I have polished each one with a cloth and dried them in the sun, so there is no worry about insects or mold. They are clean, so you can use them with peace of mind. Also, once I have confirmed the completion of your purchase, I will polish each item with a cloth again before packing and shipping to check their condition. They can be used for crafts, making wreaths, as materials for making musical instruments by putting them in containers, etc... There are many uses! Why not give them a try? Thank you for reading to the end♪
