On Acorn Elves, or how it all started

When we moved with the kids to a small house next to the forest, we brought home from every autumnal walk lots of small chestnuts and other natural products. We tried to make animals from them, but sticking a skewer through them was really hard and our creations fell apart soon. Another year we were inspired by creation at nursery school and tested out the hot glue gun. It came out better for us, but we ran out of little chestnuts pretty quickly. However, our garden offered us lots of acorns, nuts and twigs, and so the first acorn elves were born.

Over time, I have improved the figures and their photography. Last year, I then started to share them on social networks, where they had great success. Photos of the toilet acorn elf probably flew around the entire internet world. I tried to make a wall calendar from the photographs and it was a quite successful achievement. After the end of the season, I was not able to say goodbye to these little creatures and I continued to produce them the entire winter and spring (luckily the kids had collected a large supply of material in the autumn). And so, the entertainment for kids became an entertainment for dad.

After several months, the album of acorn elves had scores of original and funny photographs and I was sad to just leave them to disappear in the on-line world. After the success of the calendar, I created in cooperation with the small company pohledy.cz twenty postcards with acorn elf motifs, I am still working on more. Shirts for kids followed and acorn elf Memory game, with which you can even play Old Acorn (Maid).

If you would like for acorn elves to entertain you all year long, I have prepared for you once again a paper wall calendar for actual year. In the same way, I would recommend you follow the acorn elf Facebook page, bulletin board on Pinterest or their Instagram profile, where I constantly publish new photographs.
