We have a buckeye tree near us and have collected a bunch of buckeyes for projects. I'd like to offer a baggie of these for barter. There are about 80 buckeyes in the bag. It's not that I can't find projects to use them for, I just think they're so fun and cool to use that I'd like to share some with someone else! Let me know if you're interested!

Hi, Sheila! Would buckeyes happen to be the same thing as horse chestnuts? I LOVE those things!!!

XOXO, Libbie

Shelia I would be interested in some of these for a project for my students. I've never used them before though. Do you have an idea of a project I could do that would be suited to elementary age kids? Email me!

I think they're a type of horse chestnuts. Things we've made with them. . .garland with beads between, hanging wreath thing from a Martha Stewart book, ornaments (drill through and use beads and wire. . .) ummm...they also just look kinda cool and fall-ish (or Christmassy when you mix in something red or gold) just sitting in a bowl.
