Chestnut Spiral
A Little Lightfolk Craft
This simple little game turns a handful of chestnuts into a marble maze. It is easy to make, but there is a little bit of patience involved while the glue dries. Once it is ready, the challenge is simple: can you guide the marble all the way to the middle, and then get it back out again?
