All children love nutcrackers, and they are fascinated with the many characters they find, from Mickey Mouse to Darth Vader. The preschoolers will find a low case, just their size, filled with Disney and Sesame Street characters. The kindergarten students will find story book characters such as Red Riding Hood and the whole cast of Wizard of Oz. Grade School students will find our Folklore heros, presidents such as Washington and Lincoln, and nutcrackers representing the various countries. Older students will be fascinated with the characters from King Arthur’s Court, and the many creative ways man has developed to open the hard shell of the nut.

There is lots to see for all ages, and in addition, students 5 and up can go on a "Nutcracker Hunt". The Nutcracker Lady has devised lists of nutcrackers for every age, and children can see if they can find them. Those finding all on their list are given a special "I Found The Crackers" pin.
